India, May 23 -- A rtists often observe what is happening in the society and question what doesn't sit well. That's what compelled spoken word artist-poet Nayab Midha, 29, to gather, upload her sentiments in the poem titled Dahej (left) as she like many others also feels affected "emotionally" by the recent death of 33-year-old Twisha Sharma at her marital home in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. Disapproving the social stigma of dowry, Nayab's verses vociferously penned in Hindi, begin this way: "If you want to give something to your daughters..." She mentions how she is married "in an amazingly supportive family", and shares how the paradox of the situation is that she feels "grateful" for it. "Shouldn't it be the norm to have supportive in-laws," she questions, adding, "Then why do girls like me feel thankful when we get a family that understands the difficulty of leaving behind everything to start afresh after marriage? It's because we are conditioned to think like that while growing up!" Nayab confesses, "I don't know how, but not speaking up about dowry deaths would have impacted my mental health." She further insists that we all "collectivity need to speak" about this immoral social taboo, and "educate whatever is left of our youth, to speak up as well". Mention how cases of dowry deaths and women abuse are higher in urban cities vis a vis the rural areas, and Nayab is quick to comment: "I'm not surprised!" Ask her to elucidate and she shares: "Umeed zyada hoti hai bade shehron se because these have people with higher education, growth and industrialisation. But that doesn't make these places better! I still remember how I came to Delhi in 2014 to study in a college and my classmate asked thrice in shock, 'Tumhari mummy kamaati hain?'... This is because of patriarchy and misogyny that have become a part of our DNA. This is what makes me worry." To those using the "comments section to justify the heinous acts of dowry deaths and troll her", she doesn't shy way from stating: "The whole point of feminism is equality. It doesn't aim to divide men and women, but intends that both share the load - emotionally, financially, and physically."...
