Intergenerational caste-patriarchal trauma hollows the very substance from our relationship with our fathers, generations after generations. The collective emotional hijacking of our fathers by the caste-patriarchal forces have badly crippled our emotional development in turn. The deliberate dumbing and numbing of the self, as a response to either obey or tolerate these casteist and patriarchal structures is our own inherited unhealed trauma too. Across the social spectrum, extra-familial patriarchal personalities as father figures occupy the vacuum left by emotionally absent men within our families who were already kidnapped away or baptized by caste-patriarchal systems for its own agenda. Strong savior icons with political and spiritual persona, figuratively come to occupy this vacant/inactive position of a father figure and ultimately to rescue his followers. There is often a risk that these father figures would reinforce similar paternal and hero-worshipping hierarchical norms. On the other hand, Dr Ambedkar, as an ideal father figure, with incredible grace and compassion in his imagery, has been easily accessible to his follower through his ideals. Yet, the complete lack of substance in my relationship with my own father continues to tremble me. As I am approaching my father's age when he had become a father himself, I realize that I have been growing into a similar emotional space as he already had. I am reciprocating the inactivity in the bond and contributing to it's hollowness in similar ways. The father-son/daughter crisis is our collective wound and still there is so much scope for individual nuance as well. I invite you to move the photo-pieces in my story and see if it turns into yours.
