Proud To Pawn 'Draupaties'!


The government of India has always stood for 'the pawnning of Draupathies' by which
the Yudhishtiras can get a hard kick in the stomach from those who accept this pledge!
This is how the governments have been running the financial things all these years!
This is how the banks and financial institutions and money lenders were "forced"
to lend by the finance ministry all these decades since our Indipendence!

The respective governments and finance ministers all these years have not done anything
to stop this as all the financial institutions, including banks, have been asking
those who are in need of money, to put their mothers, sisters or wives as guarantees or
guarantours for the amount they take as loans from these financial institutions,
most of the times at inexorbitant interest rates! And millions of people have already
pledged or pawnned "their Draupathies" and millions are waiting to have thier turn!

It is great that all the governments we had since our liberation from the foreign rule
in 1947, have taken a great leaf out of the great book Mahabaratha, that everyone in India
can have their own "Mahabaratha Yudh" as and when they pawn "their Draupathies" and lose
badly, as the present day "Yudhishtiras" can never afford any other one of the Pandavas
or a Krishna to fight in "the great battle of Kurukshetra" they fight in their lives!

One of the great advantages the modern day Yudhishtiras have is that they get plenty of
opportunities to 'Pawn Their Draupathies" as the original Yudhistira had only one chance
to pawn 'His Draupathi"! Let us thank the governments which made it possible for
the modern day Indians/Yudhishtiras to pawn "their Draupathies" a million times! The governments should be saluted as the financial systems of the developed world, which we assiduously follow, dont have this sort of a great opportunity infused into them for the people who take loans from their financial institutions; and they pay low interest rates too! But, dont ever think about an Indian "pawnning his Draupathy" at lesser interest rates! It's a shame to him to "pawn his Draupathy" at lesser interest rates, as for him, "Bharat Nari" is to be considered Goddess, according to 'Our Great Indian Tradition', and in India Gods and Godesses are never cheap!

And, hence, in thousands of places these godesses are giving thier thumb impressions and signatures on the stamp papers to get themseleves "pawnned" and thousands of these godesses are waiting in wings to grab this great opportunity of turning themselves into "Draupathies" that they can serve "their Yudhishtiras"!

Foot Note: In the Indian Epic 'Mahabaratha', all the troubles started when the eldest of the Pandavas, Yudishtra, pawned and lost his (and other four Pandavas') wife Draupati to the eldest of the Kauravas, Duryodhan, in a Royal Game of Gamble!
