Fyodor Dostoevsky and the single Indian man on hell, loneliness and suffering

The renowned Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky had once quoted

"What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love and be loved by someone"

Me and many single Indian men of my kind are currently experiencing this hell. It is not clear whether we chose single hood or single hood chose us but whatever the case be we are living a life of hell as per the quotes of Dostoevsky.In a society where everyone loves and cares for each other , we  are the ones who are unloved.This is the suffering that we are going through on a daily basis.

What was the reason that our life became a living hell?Was it a tragedy? A series on constant rejections on the matrimonial front?Was it a miserable marital breakup? Was it a case of unrequited love? We don't know.

Over the years we have become wise and made our choices, we have made peace with our decisions.Life goes on for us. Events, birthdays and festivals does not make any difference to us.There is no excitement associated with any such events.

As the sun sets and the night resumes, loneliness takes over.We don't have anyone with us.Everyone around us seems to be happily married and living a wonderful life. It is we who are the miserable lot.

Basic necessities like love, care and affection is denied to us. Feminism, materialism , gender biased laws and a new world order have made it difficult for us to seek companionship.Emotions have been stored within our hearts, emotion of love and affection that we would like to share with someone. Unfortunately we have to one to share our feelings with.

No one understands how deprived we are of an emotional touch. The denial of this touch makes us less human.

This is the life of many single Indian men in this country.This is something that the Indian society should know about them so that they can be treated in a humane manner. No pain is greater than lonely suffering and inability to share one's feelings.
