மனைவி விஷயத்தில் மோடி கடைப்பிடிக்கும் 2 அற்ப தந்திரங்கள்!
திருமணத்தின்போது மோடிக்கு 18 வயது. அவரது மனைவி யசோதாபென்னுக்கு 17வயது.
மோடியின் இனமான கான்சி (GhanChii) சாதி வழக்கப்படி இது குழந்தைத் திருமணம் அல்ல.
ஆனால், மோடி இதை #பால்ய விவாகம் என்று சொல்வது, உலகம் அறியா பாலகனாக அவர் இருந்தபோது நடந்த கல்யாணம் என்பது போல மக்கள் நினைக்க வேண்டும் .என்ற மலிவான யுத்தியின் காரணமாகத் தான்.
18வயது பூர்த்தியாகி இருந்த மோடிக்கு அந்தத் திருமணத்தில் இஷ்டமில்லை என்றால், அந்த திருமணத்தை நடக்கவிடாமல் மோடியால் தடுத்து நிறுத்தி இருக்க முடியும். யசோதாபென்னை உயிரோடு வாழ்நாள் முழுவதும் தனிமைச் #சிதையில் எரிந்து சாம்பலாகி தன்னுடைய பெண்ஜன்மத்தை விரயமாக்க விடாமல் காப்பாற்றி இருக்க முடியும்.
இந்த திருமணத்தை அவரால் 40 ஆண்டுகள் அவருடைய அரசியல் சகாக்களுக்குக்கூட தெரிவிக்காமல் மறைக்க முடிந்தது.
அதன்பின், அவர் ஆர்எஸ்எஸ்ஸில் சேர்ந்து #பிரச்சாரக் என்று அழைக்கப்படும் ஆர்எஸ்ஸின் முழுநேர ஊழியராக செயல்பட்டார். #பிரச்சார்க் என்ற பொறுப்புக்கு ஒருவர் ஆர்எஸ்எஸ்ஸில் நியமிக்கப்பட. வேண்டுமென்றால், அவர் திருமணமாகாதவராக இருக்க வேண்டும்.
.
தனக்குத் திருமணமாகவில்லை என்று # #பொய் சொல்லி மோடி ஆர்எஸ்எஸ்ஸில் ##பிரச்சாரக் ஆனார். திருமணமாகி விட்டது என்ற சொல்லி இருந்தால் அவருடைய அரசியல் வாழ்வு குஜராத் மாநில எல்லையைத் தாண்டி இருக்காது. இந்தியாவிற்கு தற்போது நேர்ந்துள்ள துர்பாக்கியமும் தவிர்க்கப்பட்டு இருக்கும்.
நிர்தாட்சண்யமாய் மறுத்திருக்க வேண்டிய சமயத்தில மறுக்காமல் ஒரு அப்பாவிப் பெண்ணின் வாழ்க்கை அநியாயமாய் பலியாவதைப் பற்றி கவலைப்படாமல் #மௌனம் சாதிப்பதும்,
திருமணமாகாதவன் என்று #பொய் சொல்லி .அரசியலில் முக்கியமான பொறுப்பிற்கு வருவதும், தன்னுடைய 18 வயதில் இருந்தே மோடி கடைபிடித்து வரும் இரு அற்பத் தந்திரங்களாகும்.
கல்லைக் காலால் தொட்டு #அகலிகையை சாபம் நீங்கி பெண்ணாக்கிய ராமன் ஆண்ட நாட்டை, தற்போது ஒரு பெண்ணின் ஆன்மா கதறுவதை துளியும் செவி மடுக்காமல் தன் கையால் தொட்டு #மரப்பாச்சி பொம்மையாக்கி வீசி எறிந்துவிட்ட #மோடி அதே #ராமனின் பேராலேயே ஆட்சியைப் பிடித்து ஆள்வது தான் தான் விசித்திரமான #நகைமுரண்.

Abandoned as a child bride, wife of Narendra Modi hopes he calls
NEW DELHI — She’s waiting for him, as she has been all her life. But when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi dined with Barack and Michelle Obama at a glittering banquet Sunday night, his wife wasn’t by his side.
Modi, 64, kept his teenage marriage a secret for decades during his political ascent and only last year admitted that his wife exists.
The wife, Jashodaben Chimanlal Modi, is a retired teacher who lives in a small town in Modi’s home state of Gujarat. Although she had not heard from her husband in years, she says she still hopes to join him one day in the capital as his spouse.
“If he calls me, I will go,” she said in an interview. “I hear all his speeches on TV. I feel very good when I hear him speak. I want him to fulfill all his promises to the people. That’s my prayer to God.”
Narendra Modi, the son of a man who sold tea in a railway station, comes from a lower caste called Ghanchi. He and his wife were promised to each other as young adolescents in keeping with the traditions of their community. They were then married in a small ceremony when she was 17 and he was 18.
“He was very young,” said Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay, the author of the book “Narendra Modi: The Man, the Times.” “The exact nature of the ceremony we don’t know. Nobody who has spoken about it is willing to talk. There would have been a ritual that joined them together as man and wife, but they would not have lived together. The family said that the two of them never cohabitated.”
Child marriage was and remains common in India, although it is technically illegal. More than a third of the women who married as child brides live in India, an estimated 240 million, according to the U.N. Children’s Fund.
Narendra Modi left shortly thereafter to wander in the Himalayas with little more than a change of clothing in his rucksack, Mukhopadhyay said. A devout Hindu, Modi was contemplating religious life. Instead, he returned to Gujarat and became a volunteer, or “pracharak,” in the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, or RSS, a Hindu nationalist group. The young workers, pracharaks, are discouraged from marrying or maintaining close family ties.
“He joined RSS without divulging he had been married,” Mukhopadhyay said. “Without it he could not have become a pracharak. They had to be unmarried. Questions would have been asked.”
Modi never returned to his wife but never divorced her, even as he became the high-profile chief minister of Gujarat and, last year, India’s premier. He never publicly spoke of his wife, and journalists who sniffed around on the topic as Modi’s fame grew were privately discouraged from doing so.
Jashodaben Modi saw her husband only once when he was chief minister, at a ceremony at a local temple, according to her brother, Ashok Modi. She lives with her brother in the small town of Unjha, in the northern part of the state.
“He had come to the [goddess temple] for a prayer. They did not speak. They did not even say a word to each other. They just met for five seconds,” the brother said.
The prime minister only officially acknowledged his wife’s existence when he filed his affidavit in April as a candidate for Parliament in the town of Vadodara. His family said at the time that the couple had married as teens because of the customs of the time and that the union was never consummated.
During the election, the wife disappeared for a time, reportedly on a “barefoot pilgrimage,” in her husband’s honor. After he became prime minister, she was assigned an official security detail. But it has not been a happy experience.
Nearly a dozen guards watch her around the clock and follow her in a shiny car as she takes auto rickshaws and public transportation, they say. When she visits friends or relatives, they have to cook for the guards, she said.
“The security travels in an air-conditioned car. But my sister takes buses, trains and auto rickshaws. What kind of justice is this? Should a prime minister’s wife not get a car?” her brother asked.
In November, Jashodaben Modi filed an official request under India’s right-to-information act asking for information about who assigned her the guards and what their duties were supposed to be, saying she was “scared” of them.
“I am the wife of the prime minister of India,” she said in the affidavit. “The security personnel tell me that they should be welcomed like guests. Which law makes provision for the same or which portion of the protocol prescribes this?”
The police eventually responded to her request, saying that the security comes from the local intelligence service that is exempt from the right-to-information law. The family is appealing.
Meanwhile, she subsists on a small pension from her time as a teacher. She keeps a small photo of her husband tucked in her prayer book and spends long hours in solitude.
“I wake up at 5 a.m. I pray at home. I go to the temple. My life is spent in prayer now,” she said.
Her brother says she gets depressed from time to time.
“When she feels dejected, we try to lift her mood,” the brother said. “We say, ‘The morning will come soon.’ We try to tell her that he will call her one day, soon. She has full faith that he will call her to him.”
