In response to a question about why women have to adopt their husband's surname after marriage, Acharya Prashant explains this practice by drawing an analogy to property ownership. He states that just as people put their name on a house they build, like 'Mittal's', to declare it as their property and warn others not to enter, the same principle is applied to other possessions. In the past, people would engrave their names on utensils, spoons, and trunks to inform others, 'Don't take it, it's mine.' This is a way of informing the world that the property is theirs and touching it will lead to fights. Acharya Prashant directly links this behavior to the question, stating that for anyone who engages in this practice, a woman is nothing more than a substance, an object like a spoon, a bowl, a house, or a trunk. He asserts that any man who adds his name to a woman's has not considered her more than a substance, comparing her to a cow, bull, or buffalo that provides milk. He humorously illustrates this with the example of 'Tinu's bike,' suggesting that when Tinu marries, he would want to engrave 'Tinu's wife' on her forehead. This stems from a single mindset that seeks to possess and enjoy, viewing everything as property, a 'thing.' This mind does not see a human being; it only sees a body, an object. He further elaborates that this objectifying mindset is not limited to women. Historically, in India, wealth was counted in terms of livestock ('pashu-dhan') and women ('stri-dhan'), treating women as a form of wealth, just like cattle. He points out that this is a global issue, citing examples of countries where women's testimony in court is valued less than a man's, or where it was believed women had no soul and were mere objects. However, he also holds women accountable, questioning if they have ever known themselves as anything other than objects, as they too participate in their own objectification by focusing on adornment. This rapist mind, which sees the entire world as an object for consumption, is responsible for the exploitation of nature, leading to climate change and the extinction of species. The speaker concludes by warning against this mindset that sees the entire world as just a thing to be devoured.
