FILMINbiA
November 194i
After Shantaram put Jayshree on the grass in "Shejari" every heroine seems to have been wooed there. Here is Arun and Khursheed at it in
"Beti", a Ranjit picture.
ing thousands are done every day in the form of marriage which to a right understanding is no better than vile durance in a high walled prison. Freedom whether of an institution or individual is essential for building a country or a cottage. Men may marry to keep women under subjection and to keep them a target of their carnal outbursts. Women are no better as their inborn cowardice restrains them from facing the world alone. By marriage they try to assure themselves at least two free square meals per day and try to satisfy their petty vanity for parading foolish trinkets and cute cosmetics which they get in return for trading themselves into eternal slavery.
GLORIOUS LOVE?
A curious theory supporting marriage is that it is the sensible destination of true love. Now, love itself is a word begging a question. Psychologically it is a wrong name for an acute affection which has thousand reasons for either dying or fading out.
Scott's novels fermented a sense of pseudo-chivalry in the Southern homes of America and was the indirect cause of the civil war. Likewise the mythical theories of story writers and poets have given an

Utopian idea through all the ages that a glorious thing as love exists. Modern youths too, read Romeo and Juliet or Leila and Majnun and build spurious castles about love and marriage.
It is curious and laughable as well that a modern young man, however hopeless he may be and however Himalayan his short comings may
be, dreams of a perfect princess and usually marries an unknown address fixed by his parents. And a college girl dreams of a perfect he-man who would kill a lion for her, win the wealth of India for her and be always at her command and she is usually hoodwinked by the first sweet tongued rascal she meets and finds herself irrecoverably lost.
If a young man knows that a dream girl gives one insomnia and the college girl knows that a heman gives one hiccups in real life, they will not vainly strive and lose the chances open to them in life. If the supposedly blind 'love' really exists then why not we see cases in which the blackest and scarfaced girl marry a he-man or vice versa.
HAPPY, INDEED!
Another deluding factor which hurry people on the path of marriage are the stories and poems and films based on them. "They lived happily ever after" is the slogan with which these mental effusions end. And people think they could live happily ever after their marriage. They forget that an ending which is so perfect in a fairy story could hardly suit a real life and the
