Translation Widow Remarriage...
Expand
It never occured to me till my Professor for Political Science pointed out that common mistake of saying "Widow Remarriage".One day during our "History of Indian Costitution" lecture We were much engrossed debating on issue such as sati and widow remarriage. As more and more students repeatedly used the expression widow remarriage our professor very jockingly said" See when a widow is married to someone it is remarriage. Then why not say widow marriage which will be a more appropriate usage."
Though in the heat of debate we felt a bit foolish. Till to date I remember those words of my teacher. He was none other Dr.RamJoshi who later on became the Vice-Chancellor of Mumbai University.

Dear Damankar,
I had completed my response and before I could click we lost connection with our server. Sorry.
Todate our mind set hasn't changed. Hardly they can come to terms with the fact that grief is something internal. There is no need of external manifestation which drastically changes a woman's exterior.
I don't want things to happen. God forbid. If I have to succumb to such an unfortunate thing I will not do things the way the society wants me too which is irrational.
I sympthise your granny who had to really suffer. I can feel her agony. Poor lady. Soon I shall be back again with my blogs in Sulekha.
Will you be interested in reading my blod under the forum 'Snippets' on Indusladies. The caption is "Whose fault is it anyway- - - ? and Are we lured by attractive packets?. kanaka. I write under my original name kanaka
