Marriage is a private affair! How far is this true?
It is always true. The day this truth is debauched there is a divorce.
It seems that it is a habit with everyone to -peak high of himself. For example, you think you are a tough Banjara ?nd I think I am a clever Madrasi. At least we had no communal troubles here and I can be proud of my province. But what have you got to be proud of?
I am in a province where no marriages of rich people can be solemnized without the presence of the local ministers. They are as necessary as the priests. The Prime Minister of my province forgets himself and says, "In this world even good things have an end and so the time has come for their Excellencies to leave our shores:' This "good thing" was Sir John C olville. a British governor, who had locked up thousands of our fighters for freedom. We have also a Home Minister who wears Rajput tights and ends by looking like a Kathiawcri milkman. Then we have a Finance Minister who looks smaller than a rupee and a Labour Minister who is constantly in labour but fails to deliver. We have no communal trouble in our province either, because our Home Minister carries a big grandfather stick of which people are afraid. For sheer personal pride we have so many items here that they will require a book to accommodate them all.
BANSI LAL GUPTA (Abu)
