Of Ramkumars and the MCP Brigade
Ramkumar killed Swati because she spurned his advances and thought he was not worthy of her. As a normal Indian adult woman, I think it is her birth right to choose her partner. Or is it not that obvious anymore or even as simple? Even as I write this, several Ramkumars would dream of luring innocent Swatis and move up the social ladder. Ramkumar wanted a girl like Swati to love him and marry him. Didn't he, even for a second, think of his status, a daily wager for a father, is he even in his right mind to think he could be in the league of women like Swati? So, is Tamil Cinema to blame, one might ask. Cinema, especially in Tamilnadu, often portrays a Brahmin girl falling for the Dalit or the poor farmer's son and eloping with him, thereby balancing the equation. Growing up on a steady diet of such puke-inducing cinema, Ramkumar would have also dreamt of bedding a Brahmin woman or even a upper class fair and well educated urban woman....
