Dear Editor,
Oh what silence! It is said that “silence is virtue” also “innocent until proven guilty”. It is a pity that those who were so quick to pen their letters in the newspapers and the internet have been judging and condemning an innocent man. Why didn’t they voice these opinions publicly in condemning real criminals?
One such female columnist predicated a recent piece by saying that she didn’t know the Doobay family. Well, she should have left it at that and not continued to wax philosophically about the ‘lonely life’ that the ‘housewife’ and victim supposedly lived. To make the inference that a woman who chose to ‘stay at home’ was somehow a ‘slave’ is both rude and insulting in the extreme. Devotion to home, children and husband is admirable and honorable, not something to be ashamed of.
Many women choose to work outside their homes; many choose to exercise their right to work from their home. Why must there be this false dichotomy between the two? Often women are their own harsh and unforgiving judges. The value of being a ‘housewife’ is immeasurable, incalculable and fulfilling in ways that are quite inscrutable.
The couple mentioned in the article is our dear Uncle and Aunt, people that we have grown up with and have shared close family ties. They had a loving, understanding relationship, one based on shared responsibilities and mutual affection and devotion to each other.
To Uncle Doobay, who is in so much grief and pain and has had to deal with the overwhelming negativity from those who were quick to judge him we who know you, say we love you!
And, to all who have been hasty in penning letters: we say “In your face!”
The Lall Family and others
