OPEN MINDED - WHAT DOES IT ACTUALLY MEAN?

Open minded are not those who say that they are open minded in today’s open minded world, but never let their girls wear small cloths thinking it provokes rape. Open minded people are not those who say they are open minded but do not let their child marry a girl from another caste. Open minded are not those who say they are open minded, but after knowing a girl’s best friend is a boy, they think she sleeps with him. Open minded are not those who say they are open minded, but never want to marry a non-virgin girl thinking that she is a slut. Open minded are not those who say they are open minded, but have problem with their children who want to follow their dreams, because their dreams are impossible. Open minded are not those who say they are open minded, but never accept homosexuality thinking mentally retarded people do that.

In the society, a lot of people pretend being open minded, but only when it comes to other people about whom they do not care, about whom they don’t give a damn. When it comes to them, they are conservative, reserved, closed minded about some issues, especially those which puts people in minority, out of flow. When they see other girls wearing short clothes, they think this is today’s generation, the world is changing. When their own girl asks for permission to allow her to wear skirts, they are not allowed. The explanation is what will people think or it provokes rape? They don’t realize that when they were the ‘people’, they didn’t care. And only rapist mind is responsible for rapes. Women are raped in full clothes. It doesn’t matter what kind of clothes they are wearing, what matters is our attitude towards it. It is all about attitude. Some guys date those girls who think they are open minded, but do not want to introduce to his parents, because according to them, she is not that type of girl. What type of guys they are? They work with the female colleagues, but never want their wife to work outside kitchen. Why does everything change when it concerns us?

If it not acceptable to wear small clothes, then we should not pretend that we are open minded. We are asking someone to compromise their individuality, so we should not have problem when someone is asking us to compromise ours. If we are dominating others, we should not expect freedom of choice. If we have a bad attitude of looking at others who are open minded, we should not expect them look at from a good point of view because we are closed minded. In the name of tradition and culture, we are putting restrictions on them. Indirectly, we are not only putting the restrictions, we are depriving them of their birthrights.
