Tamil girls, Punjabi adult males: The most effective matter for India
As a subaltern, I experienced the privilege of currently being posted in the Tamil Nadu point out. To be specific, I was posted at the Air Drive Station at Tambaram and the device was Air Drive traveling Instructors Faculty (AFIS). It was a baptism which I have hardly ever forgotten. To start by advantage of becoming a member of an elite assistance. I was immediately supplied the membership of the Madras Gymkhana., 1 of the leading golf equipment in India set up by the ‘Goraji’ throughout the times of the Raj.
Getting into this elite Institute was like the opening Ali Baba’s cave, it provides us the magical critical to social intercourse with the elite of the city of Madras, the identify Chennai arrived significantly later on. I was not new to the state of Tamil Nadu as I have experienced my early training at the Stanes Higher College at Coimbatore. Later on as Squadron leader, I had the privilege of attending the Defence Companies Team University in the Nilgiri mountains at Wellington shut to the hill station of put Ootacammand.
Associations
I observed a different significant social much more, my flight commander and the CO of AFIS experienced the two married Tamil ladies. Later I came to know they ended up Brahmins. Naturally, they had been really pleased. This was my very first brush with the social conversation where by I observed that quite a few Tamil girls ended up marrying North Indian Punjabi adult men or boys. This phenomenon is not confined to the movie entire world, whereby correct from the time of Vyjayanthimala to Sridevi, not forgetting Hema Malini have married Punjabi gentlemen. Just one can say that there is some fetish for Tamil ladies and Punjabi adult males. Through pretty much two decades of my support in the Air Power, I have the distinction of observing this singular component wherever lots of officers had married Tamil ladies. I will insert that as significantly as the Airforce is anxious an equivalent variety have married girls from Meghalaya, which has the Japanese Air Command, at Shillong
Chatting about individual encounter, I had the fortune or staying introduced to some of the leading echelon culture ladies. My facilitator was a regional Tamil friend of mine who experienced studied with me at the Stanes Substantial university and was now a fairly massive service provider included in export-import in Madras. It is not significant to choose any identify but I can add that this was the most relaxing time of my everyday living. I had a senior colleague a Flying Officer and he confided that he was likely to marry Tamil woman brahmin. I recognized to be his witness at the court marriage which subsequently took spot. The girl’s parents have been in opposition to the match but later relented and give a massive reception to their friends and relations. Now that so a lot of decades have handed, I have been asking yourself as to what could be the cause that so numerous girls from Tamilnadu who arrive in make contact with with Punjabi men finish up remaining their wives. Mainly, I truly feel this is a superior matter and a indication that these unions aid the so-called north-south language divide to weaken. I imagine this an superb recipe for nationwide integration. I hope in the years to occur, the query as to which state or which caste you belong to will go away. India would be one particular massive Cauldron like the Usa.
Mutual attraction
Just as Tamil women are captivated to Punjabi males, so also North Indian Punjabis have a fascination for Tamil ladies. There is a large language divide but this is prevail over by the normal attraction that exists between these two classes in India. I ponder If sociologists can review this component of the associations in India. As now pointed out there are also a good deal of youthful Khasi ladies from Meghalaya who marry Air Pressure personnel although in the military Naga ladies marry numerous army officers. Most of these marriages endure and that is the ideal component of this overall situation. My own memories have been the subject matter of lots of of my tales which have been posted overseas and in India, I will just say that there seems to be a mutual attraction in between Tamil girls and Punjabi men. Why must it be there is a problem that is not worth answering and one particular can only say India has a nation has to transfer forward. Nearer household my nephew just experienced a adore relationship with a Tamil female who a university student from the IIT at Madras.
This is just a mild coronary heart post, and I hope a lot of will study it with an open up mind.
