‘Puberty function of Ramya’; the signboard displayed the queasy plight of yet another young girl in Madras.
Considering that the celebration was in a star hotel, I assume that Ramya’s parents are rich; enough to have bought her education in an up market convent school. And the school would have instilled a set of social ethos in Ramya’s adolescent mind to aid her navigate the modern world.
I am disgusted at this tribal ritual and its perpetrators. The rigid caste system seems to have no qualms- rather revel- in mauling, under glaring lights, the fine strands of sensitivities of vernal girls.
When would the parents come of age?
