as a person from NE what are your opinions on gender roles and patriarchy especially in the current discourse surrounding the movie ‘Mrs’ which mainly sees it through ‘mainland’ lens (simply implying a different culture)??
I am from Sikkim. I have a lot of friends from NE, Darjeeling and a few from other states. Now, most of my friends I know have moms who work and have more or less, help at home. There are very few whose moms are home makers. Regarding that movie, ‘Mrs’ some people I know told me that that’s what they’ve seen their mums go through…. Now they were all non NE.. My grandmother worked and so do all my aunts and my mother. The cooking is done by moms usually and dads do help a lot (at least among my family members). And in get togethers and all, the work is done by hired helps. Now I understand that economy and class can be a factor as well but I don’t see the extreme as much as in I’d say other cultures. At least not in Sikkim. What are your opinions on that???3
