Almost two weeks into my Daniel Kaluuya obsession, I can't believe how little this website talks about him. You guys are crazy about the plainest, most boring guys, and what is there not to like about him?? Is his skin too flawless? Are his brown eyes too big and expressive? Is he too funny and charismatic and smart? Is he too insanely talented as an actor?? What is the problem?? Why are y'all not obsessed with him too???

My interpretation and mad ramble about the Widow Curse;
Curse description
-Where a player dies after or causes the death of their allies
-Can be allies from previous seasons but not from future
Cursed individuals
-Grian (since 3rd life)
-Scott (since 3rd life)
-Martyn (since 3rd life)
-Pearl (since Double life)
Explanation
-Grian killed Scar in Third Life, Mumbo and Jimmy in Last Life, Joel and Etho in Double Life, Scar again in Limited Life, and Martyn in Secret Life
-Grian directly caused Jimmy’s death in Limited Life, and Etho and Cleo’s deaths in Secret Life
-Scott died after Jimmy in Third Life, he won in Last Life after Pearl and Cleo had died, died after Cleo in Double Life, he was betrayed by Martyn in Limited Life (technically would’ve broken it if not for Secret Life), and he died after Impulse in Secret Life- although he died to Gem
-Martyn killed Ren in Third Life, Cleo in Double Life, and Scott in Limited Life
-Ren died permanently before Martyn in Third Life, Mumbo and Jimmy died before Martyn in Last Life, Cleo died before Martyn in Double Life, Scott died before Martyn in Limited Life, Jimmy died before Martyn in Secret Life
-Pearl died after Scott and Tilly in Double Life, Pearl died after BigB in Limited Life, and Pearl died after Mumbo, Bdubs, and Joel in Secret Life

The Plight of Indian Widows
A woman's dignity is not her own possession. Her life is at the mercy of men around her. She is a commodity to be owned and sold first by her father then her husband. Her entire existence is tied to her servitude to those around her. After giving so much to the world, there is little life left inside of her. Yet, the world still demands her forfeit of this little life after the death of her husband. In India, a woman was expected to burn herself alive in the holy pyre of her husband's body as a show of loyalty in a practice called Sati that was outlawed in 1929(yet it is still rampant today in many rural parts of India).
With her husband no more, she must have no reason to live.Widowhood is the harbringer of acute discrimination for women in South Asia. Widows are ostracized by society and shunned by their family to live a destitute life in "Vidhwa Ashrams". Even the shadow of a widow was believed to inflict depredation and brought. They are called witches and man-eaters. They are forbidden from wearing anything but white clothes and are expected to practice strict abstinence. Widows in Afghanistan are called besarparast, meaning "household without a head". It is customary for a woman to shave off her head to appear undesirable. Her sexuality is confined, her needs and wants must die alongside her husband. Widow remarriage-although legal- is deeply stigmatized as a grave sin.
Widows are not considered to be a part of society. They can neither celebrate festivals nor travel without a religious purpose. In some extreme cases, they are made to drink the bathwater of their husbands’ dead bodies and have unprotected sex to "cleanse themselves of the sin of causing their husbands" death. Young widows also fall prey to the leering eyes of men. Child brides especially are prone to fall victim to manipulation by people around them. Men consider that since marriage has taken away her "innocence", she can now be sexually exploited.
Barring a few states, married women cannot inherit their husband's property. This lack of financial stability is the root cause of their exploitation. Most husbands leave their wives penniless. What little savings he might have had are spent on funeral rites. Relatives do not want to support her financially, considering her children and herself as excess baggage. Her parents also close the doors on her face for it is often said - "only a woman's dead body should come out of her husband's house."
This new found vulnerability makes her an easy prey for prostitution. A primary form of survival for widows is to sell their body through pimps. However, in most ashrams, they are forced to perform sexual favours by the heads of the ashram to gain money. The heads use their political power to silence the widows from raising their voice against this rape. With nowhere else to go, this cycle continues. The widows who get pregnant from this rape are "mauled by quacks for a painfully searing abortion and If that’s not done, then they would have an extra mouth to feed and an extra pair of hands to beg."
As of today, India is the abode of 42 million widows-a social class that is woefully exploited. Widows are often forced to dedicate the remaining parts of their lives to their religion. They must have no desires or wants except singing the God's praise. Widowhood for most women marks the death of their happines and social life. Although with changing times the attitude towards widows is turning positive, it is the bitter truth that the condition of widows from orthodox regions live a terrible life.
Laws protecting women are scarce- let alone widows. In India, widows are considered to be the class 1 heirs of ancestral properties. However, most of them are uneducated and unaware of the laws surrounding them. They are easily manipulated by relatives to give up their rights to the property. As for self acquired property, most men do not mention the name of their wives in their wills. After 2005, women alive on december, 2005 have a right over their father's ancestral property alongside their brothers. One must not forget that women inheriting property is still not socially acceptable in India and women who recieve property are few and far between.
To uplift widows, one must make them aware of the rights around them. Government and local NGOs should work together to organize awareness campaigns on the rights of widows. Women without capital left behind by their husbands should get a monthly stipend. "Vidhwa Ashrams" should be heavily regulated. More so, the social stigma shrouding widows must be removed. Treatment of women belonging to marginalized communities are a reflection of how dire the situation of women's rights are in India. Opening women owned women only shelters is the prime solution for the upliftment of women.

Sons should not suffer the sins of their fathers... What a foolish thing to say. Everyone knows it is the wives who are punished first.
