Since everyone is talking about #LoveJihaad here is my take.
Being a gynaecologist, I see a lot of females from all strata of society and hear there stories. Few years back, we admitted a pregnant female for evaluation. It was her fourth pregnancy. Past 3 deliveries being normal
We had a plan of going ahead with a trial of normal delivery even this time. But she was hell bent on getting a C-section. On asking repeatedly why she wants a surgery, she answered that she can get tubal ligation done along with C section without her family knowing about it.
And I thought why should her family object to it, she told her story. She was born a Marathi hindu, fell in love with a muslim and they married. Few months later realised it was all done by her husband to teach a lesson to her community and to bear his children.
She was just a child bearing machine for him. Her husband had another wife. I could see her pain when she told all of it but unfortunately couldn't help her in what she wanted. This is just one of the many stories that are unfortunately not just stories but reality.
The other day a fellow doctor said on how we should teach our daughters to hate one community to not fall for them, which was wrong and I called her out for that. Yes we can't hate everyone for fault of some. But to all those denying that any such thing exists in our society,
Open your eyes and see the reality. That ad by #tanishq was not wrong, but it is definitely far from reality. #LoveJihaad
