Wonderful society in the U.S ! Just wait for another 20 years when the children who are born in U.S grow up. How many of them will get married to Brahmins? Hardly 5%. The schools and colleges in the U.S will bring on peer group pressure which the parents can not overcome.
by and large,indian children who grow up in west,are very much balanced in their outlook,and accept their identity as per their vision of objectives in life.in fact,the western up bringing is far superior to indian up bringing traditional vedic life based.veda patashala students who live in west,stick to their sampradayas,and the indian culture mentality exists with all its glory in full bloom.
We have a number of family members who migrated to U.K and U.S in the sixties and whose children are married now. Hardly anyone has married a Hindu leave alone a Brahmin. The brahmins will be dissolved in the melting pot that is U.S.A.
this classification as 'hindu' is only 1200 year old phenomena.our sanathana dharma,never bracketed us as this and that.in that sense,the children marrying whom they wish to,is purely a personal decision.the brahmins have been dissolved in tamizh nadu itself,how one can envisage that brahmins by birth,will grow in numbers elsewhere?
Many people came back from U.S for that very reason. Loss of identity. They continue to come back.
reasons attributed are diverse.one can never lose their identity in bhu-lokam,as it's one.
Liberation of women or education does not mean the liberty of sleeping with anyone and contempt for the idea of marriage. If that is what is meant by liberation the Anglo Indian community is the most liberated in India.
sleeping is a normal body need.marriage gives one a 'license' to raise family,with full blessings and sanctions.these are all human made laws.we humans create these laws,and drag god to give it a semblance of authority for implementation.technically,only mutual consent is required.in order that society functions normally,without any untoward happenings,these human made laws have been evolved over a period of eons.otherwise,we are no better than any species,which are equally divine like us humans.
Brahmins are considered to be intellectuals. Intellectuals are not people who give priority to bodily pleasures.
if progeny is stopped,how intellectuals can be produced as a class of people?so,body needs are as essential as any other need.
If the Brahmin girls are that liberated why are they asking the parents to arrange for marriages. If the girls in the I.T sector are liberated because they earn a lot of money, how come they do not choose their own mates. Why depend on parents, horoscopes and marriage ceremonies when you hold the entire concept of marriage in contempt.
custom and tradition dictates the easy way out for youngsters.unlike the west,indian kids are totally protected by parents right till their death,i guess.
Why the I.T sector. In other sectors and the society in general there is definitely a peer pressure against divorce. But in the I.T sector it is the othere way around. It is the in thing.
divorce by itself is an option,when constant unhappiness prevails between couples.todays economic independance gives assertive action,to live for now and not for future long term happiness.nothing wrong.
There are a number of divorced girls in the I.T sector with one or two children. In the days past birth of a child was supposed to cement the marriage.
with western model of eduvation,these are part and parcel of the baggage.even in india,village panchayats used to decide,incompatability,unfaithfullness etc.so your view,is bs sir.
Divorce is classified by psychologists as one of the biggest trauma in a person's life. This is done by the psychologists in the U.S the wonderful society where Divorce is very common.
any seperation is traumatic.so to cope such incidents,specialists are there.which is getting documented.usa is a wonderful society,endearing one and all.to project life in usa as some demonic existance,is totally untrue.
A see a number of Divorced women in the U.S who are forced to stay all alone in the old age. There many help groups for them. They also seek spiritual solace in Hinduism.
Wonderful society. My Foot.
joint family system has collapsed in india too.my parents refused to move in with me.i had to move back and re-adjust my career options.so,all this about indian life superior to western life or vice versa,is a bubble in ones head.everything exists everywhere,with a degree of variation.
