Phir Subah Hogi is telling a true story of a Bedni.
Any true story cannot be just a love story; it is a life story.
This is to be a life story of a Bedni girl who wanted to live and give her mother a life of respect and self reliance devoid of the misfortunes suffered by many of girls of her community.
This strong willed girl who loathed the mere thought of being a 'Rakhail' finally made the choice and accepted leading the life of disgrace.
Koi aurat apni marzi se aise zindagi nahi chahati!
Except some low lives that do it for additional perks/promotions in jobs/business, luxuries in life or pocket money.
Most ladies are either forced or compelled by situation (livelihood) to enter prostitution.
If she makes a choice, imagine to what extent a lady's principles, dreams, self esteem, heart, soul shatters even before she makes such a choice. Imagine the plight of a lady who accepts this kind of life.
If we were to talk of Sugni, she made this choice to enable giving another lady a chance at life. Whether her decision is for the better or worse is not the concern. She made this choice for someone else and not for her monetary or sexual benefit.
Some opined that this girl deserves to be prostitute. How shameful and inhuman is it to even say that any lady deserves such a life of disgrace.
Do you realize that what a Bedni accepts is not prostitution but is a lifetime of sexual slavery? Though there is a fine line but there is a difference prostitution and sexual slavery.
Does one understand the implications of this?
Once bought a lady's rights on herself end. She does not have a right to say no for anything and would have to comply with any command of her master.
For any common woman, if she is rejected sexual autonomy she can prosecute the perpetrator molestation, abuse or rape. However, such ladies who are cursed of deserving the life of prostitute cannot.
Then is it not shameful that
1. One passes moral statements and judgments on a girl who is sold into sexual slavery saying she deserves it.
2. One says that any person deserves such a life of abuse and humiliation.
3. A person is subjected a lifetime of sexual slavery.
4. Women are unable to sympathize and understand the plight and pains of such unfortunate ladies.
5. All which is expected out of this true story is a love story and not a life story.
If one does not find this downright disgusting then first do a Google search and understand what a life such women lead then imagine living that life, night after night and then pass moral statements on such ladies. Till then just reserve your comments.
Please note this is a general post and not a post specific to only Sugni. There is more to life than just television characters.
