For a man, the creative necessity is to independently
attract a woman. This creative necessity is satisified by arranged marriage in
a situation where a man has achieved through education or enterprise and
is therefore able to get the hand of a woman from the same community. Here, the
man is satisfied. If the arranged marriage is just because of the inherited
status, the man is not satisfied and looks for other women outside of marriage.
For a woman, the creative necessity is to have independence
in running the household and being able to enhance the financial security of
the household through good administration and decision-making. This creative
necessity is mostly satisfied in arranged marriage when a woman is able to play
an active role in the decision making. If the arranged marriage is between
established agricultural households, the woman is not satisfied as the status
of an agricultural landlord is equivalent to a domination by the men, both of
the labour force and the women in the house. To avoid such a situation, the
woman will be naturally inclined towards a simple man where she can creatively
contribute to the development of a household from scratch.
Hence, if the agriculturally prosperous people want to keep
their women within their communities, they have to get down from the elevated
position of controlling the labour force. They have to get the simplicity of
being a dignified worker themselves. They also need to gain the education and
the exposure to modern technologies. Then, there will be no inclination for the
women to find emotional resonance in the simple and working classes, wherein
there is scope for creative participation in the running of a family.
Preventing all of this is the manusmriti and the brahmin.
The brahmin wrecks everything with their texts, rituals and religion. The
brahmin is a curse on society.
