Sania and Shoaib

Sania marrying Shoaib should not be anybody’s business. They are two adult individuals who have all the right in the world to choose their own path. However a look at the environment around them brings up lots of questions.
Sania is considered a role model for lots of girls growing up in India. As India moves towards gender equality in real sense, the role models will play a huge role. The girls need to be assured that “Yes, they can”. For every Vijayendra, Yuvraj, Dhoni, we need to have a Sania, Saina, Shikha. In a country obsessed with boy child, these are the heroines who make parents believe that even their girl child can do something.
So, I am not particularly thrilled that Sania is marrying a Pakistani and settling in Dubai. Pakistan is a sworn enemy of India and does everything possible to harm us. And Dubai, an arab emirate is not a place wherein women rights are respected.
So Sania, you have broken hearts of many a parents like me who want to quote you as a role model. Anyway, the last word is that its your life. Go ahead and screw it.
