Though I'm as disturbed as everybody else to read this March-08 felicitation advertisement by the Women's Commission of Kerala, there is no surprise at all, in so far as we want to keep no illusions about the "progressiveness" of this body ,or the LDF govt. I would further argue that these expressions stupidly glorifying the sense of security, tranquility, ,apoliticality and hence the ultimate desirability of these roles for women as wife, mother etc. perfectly match with the dominant practice of dubbing morally repugnant all the non- conforming ways of thinking on women's lives and on their subjectivities. Perhaps this is one of those rare destinations where the leftists, rightists and all those apologists of tradition and culture meet! Unfortunately for people who would like to ask questions in terms of liberation rather than real politicking, many a Keralite ,erudite man/ woman continues to have a fascination for this role of women in real lives, though in their creative writings or imaginations we might come across umpteen characters equally lovable even when not fitting to the above model. http://groups.google.com/group/greenyouth/browse_thread/thread/d009961dba9ba99c http://groups.google.com/group/greenyouth/attach/6e22f92ab96fb836/vanitha_commision_advt-778179.jpg?part=2&thumb=1
