7. How is your modern culture different from Sawi tenants?

In India, it is perfectly legal for a Muslim man to have four wives. This is the 'modern culture' that I have been brought up in. Being a part of upper-middle class Indians, I have not visually experienced polygamy, however I am certain it is practiced in the lower illiterate classes.

“Swami” is a Hindi word which is a synonym for God. Surprisingly it also means husband. It is quite evident that even today men remain the dominant sex in society in India. Sawi culture can be described as an exaggerated version of certain Indian traditions. Even though society is changing there are still numerous countries where men are considered superior.Arranged marriages contribute massively to Indian culture. It intimidates me how a woman can marry a man chosen by her parents. How can she make the decision of spending every night with him when she does not love him? (or KNOW him as a matter of fact). It is depressing that something so intolerable happens everyday in my country. Similarly, in Sawi tradition daughters were 'gifted' (to men) by their fathers. Daughters were used as objects of trade between families, in Sawi culture. Hence it can be observed that Sawi culture mirrors aspects of Indian society.

Maybe we don't cannibalize or fatten our friends. Maybe we are blessed with technology and education. Maybe we have the 'idea' of right and wrong yet we choose wrong, which makes us no less of a 'sinner'.
