Marriage -A Misnomer Baburao Patel Fponsors A Revolutionary Idea By : V. R, Bashyam (Marikuppam) The answer given by Babui'ao Patel to an enquiry about marriages is revolutionary and illuminating. Nothing so sensational has been said since the days of Dada Lekhraj and Om Mandali about a human adjustment which is secluded and bound within steel tight enclosures justifying its existence by weak quotations from' ante-diluvian books and customs. Happily the suggestion propounded by him is not a reactionary movement like that of Om Mandali. Many people might think on the same lines as the Big Boy but it is a matter to question whether any leader of the most revolutionary and radical movement in India would have the gumption or guts to say such things openly. There may be big bleating and braying against the fine ideal of the Big Boy but let us consider the saneness of his argument considering the fact that there was a big hue and cry against such an elementary necessity as a railway train when it was first installed in England. Let us also understand that the human mind is very inconsistent and when there is an uproar against infringement of sacred rights and age-long customs the individual looks askance at them if they ever threaten his pleasure or pursuit for spoils. THE STORY OF GEORGE ELIOT In England in the middle of 19th. century George Eliot the famous novelist created something of a scandal (?) by living with a man without legally binding herself to him. The self-complacent and pseudo-religious England of that era, when it was a fashion for politicians and the nobility to have "mistresses" condemned her in no unequivocal terms and speeches were made from the pulpits and on soap boxes about the heinous offence of the novelist. But their cat calls and jackal howls were of no avail, perhaps they might have utilised their energy and time for many reforms, that were needed urgently then, which were influenced by bogus principles on which foundation the tottering society of evil, sloth decadence and vice is built. George Eliot herself lived to a Chandrakant and Shohhana Samarth as Rama and Seeta in "Bhamt Mifap' o Prakash picture. Mr. V. R. Bashyam ripe old age in the happy bliss she had created for herself without the shadow of connubial animosity ever casting a shadow on her threshold. Her popularity as a novelist in spite of the so-called crime waxed and the happy life, blended with aesthetic culture she led, is portrayed in her novels. TEST TUBE BABIES What was once a crime in Western countries, is now generally recognised by people of advanced understanding, national thinkers and students of psychology as the only sensible opening and a potion too for the many banes and inconsistencies of life. Eugenic and test tube babies have made their appearance in America, union and divorce — a matter of minutes if not seconds — by mutual consent is recognised in Soviet Russia. Such ideas have also crept into conservative England and when Churchill, the Atlantic apostle, and his crew miss their bus in future elections giving place to radical elements, Society will be organised with a big sweep. In India a slightly audible rustling is heard in private homes and hearths against the tyranny of modern society making its obeisance to religion at every corner and pretending to be modern for the superficial look. Marriage is a misnomer for the physical desire for mating and which itself is a biological necessity as Baburao observes. Crimes number 69
