Women in India have gradually changed roles and responsibilities in many ways breaking the patriarchal norms, like reaching to Moon or Mountain, running small scale to large scale businesses, being boss ladies at various fronts, yet in many families, communities and areas, there conditions are not much improved, their passions remain dormant, their desires unfulfilled, their ideas unacknowledged, and their voices silenced.
The way a lotus blooms in the shadows, their beauty and strength remain unseen, their potential unreleased. An upsetting melody of unfulfilled dreams and unspoken words, their struggles and pains, all together becomes a haunting reminder of the unfinished journey towards true empowerment.
Recently I saw Indian Hindi-language drama film ‘Mrs.’, where the suffocating grip of India’s patriarchal system is laid bare. Directed by Arati Kadav and starring Sanya Malhotra, this powerful film is a remake of the 2021 Malayalam film ‘The Great Indian Kitchen’. Through the eyes of Richa, an educated dancer, trapped in a traditional and patriarchal marriage, relentless erosion of a woman’s identity, autonomy, and dignity can be witnessed.
