Durga the subaltern power

Durga Puja never had any special effect in my life, apart from lots of painful incidents I dont remember anything important happening in my life during this puja. But Durga is very special, not only in my life but in the life of every subaltern living in my part of world. Once upon a time I did lots of pandal hopping. That time durga used to be like hema malini , fair, bulky and more motherly love and affection on the face than feminity. She used to be a total housewife , who has lost the charm of attracting anyone and that is why she is happy with her family and husband does her job without any protest . It used be the kind of male dominated propaganda spread at that time in our subaltern society. But I sharply remember , five or four years back, I saw a durga which was totally different from any of the durgas of our time . I found her extremely attractive, and told my friend that it was the sexiest sculpture I have ever seen. And this time I saw one in Suruchi Sangha. For guys like me, confused and totally dominated by the west , she is the perfect dream partner. She was petite but curvy, wearing a working women black saree in the most sensual way, she was dark and sindur was there on her forehead, her face had multiple layer of expressions, as if she can tell us the stories of all dark and bright temptations of human beings. When I saw her I was not spellbound, as I have seen lots of its kind in my life and somehow I secretly appreciated their beauty.

Durga, indeed, is the strongest sub altern power. First of all worshipping a total feminist power is really non western and non aryan . Secondly , there aren't any better potrayal of the largest subaltern of this world other than durga , powerful, with family, and also few pets .

Let me list out few of the women who ?I found closer too durga. I will not take this oppurtunity to name anyone whom I know personally, as again beauty should be appreciated silently. First of all the woman whose physical features matches with my conception of durga are

sobha de
naomi campbell
madhuri dixit
deepika padukone
bipasha basu
to some extent sania mirza ( she and mallika is more like saraswati than durga for me)

And as far as power is concerned, i think gayatri chakravorty spivak is the best example for me.
