It's amazing how you have interwoven discussions on sartorial and food choices with the blatant display of patriarchy during Holi. Happy that I could enjoy all these (shopping, eating, discussing gender) with you recently :-) Your point about the dialogue in 'Jhimma' reminds me how such acts often get appreciated and applauded for the "magnanimity" of the husband - long way to go indeed, from de-normalising these "deeply embedded" ideas to problematising them!!

Yes, magnanimity of the husband. You pointed that out right. How 'lucky' that her husband lets her.
