The Changing Role of the Mangalsutra
For many women of our mothers' generation, the mangalsutra was a symbol that they were expected to wear daily. It was a constant reminder of their role as wives, often dictating how they presented themselves in society. However, as times have changed, so too have attitudes towards this piece of jewelry. Many mothers of the millennial generation, who dutifully wore their mangalsutras in the early days of marriage, have since abandoned the practice. The reasons are varied—some feel that the traditional designs are outdated, others see it as an unnecessary marker of marital status, and some simply find it impractical for everyday wear.
This shift raises an important question: Why should a piece of jewelry, often made from precious materials like diamonds and gold, be relegated to the back of a drawer after the wedding day? Why invest in something so significant if it doesn’t resonate with who you are today?
A Tradition at a Crossroads
Given how much our lives and styles have changed, it’s surprising that the tradition of the mangalsutra persists in its conventional form. The global Indian woman of today is a dynamic blend of tradition and modernity. She is educated, ambitious, and fiercely independent. She balances her career, personal life, and household responsibilities with grace. Yet, when it comes to the mangalsutra, many still find themselves conforming to a design and symbolism that no longer aligns with their identity.
The question then arises: Why should the choice of a mangalsutra—an important and deeply personal piece of jewelry—be dictated by outdated norms or the preferences of often non-progressive in-laws? Why should a modern Indian woman wear a piece of jewelry that doesn’t fit her style, or worse, one that she feels compelled to hide away?
