Women In Deep Water Poem by Abdulrazak Aralimatti
Women In Deep Water
To married sister's' house; a poor brother visited
Her sister, a government servant
For one and a half day, the brother stayed
And asked sister for return ticket
An earthen money saver pot, the sister broke
The money, exactly the bus fare,
A warm farewell, brother-in-law forbade.
Thoughts dawned on way back
But, he realized, struggle of an Indian women
To keep sister happy, never, he asked further.
A realistic picture of Indian society.A married woman has little control over property in India.Though it is not the case with all women and it is in many cases found that even working women have no control over their earning. Thanks for sharing

Interesting poem. Goes beyond conventional thinking of man being the protector of a woman. Tables are turned here. Thanks for sharing.
