They live in an America that is not yet sullied by the draconian laws of Gilead, where women are classified by the purpose their bodies can serve for the men who control the country. June still has her job at the publishing house and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/survive-visit-bank-seventh-circle-hell\/\">bank account<\/a>. Luke\u2019s biggest worry is having someone pick him some AA batteries, and their eight-year-old daughter Hannah, not yet separated from her parents, just wants more waffles.\n\nBut there\u2019s one disturbing detail to this normalcy, that foreshadows their bleak future. Before heading out for the day, June asks her husband to sign off on a form before she heads to the pharmacy. The request is matter-of-fact; the words aren\u2019t explicitly spelled out, but it\u2019s apparent from their behaviour that the elephant in the room is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/earth-humans-population-children\/\">birth control<\/a>.\n\nAs we soon learn, a husband\u2019s signature on a release waiver approving his wife\u2019s decision to take birth-control pills is mandated by law. \u201cThey actually ask to see it?\u201d, Luke asks exasperated, even as he exercises his power by signing the form. Remember the flashback is set in the 2010s, and not the 1950s. Instead of being upset about June\u2019s \u201cofficial\u201d lack of agency in the matter of her own body, the couple indulge in a coy exchange culminating in an adorable moment where they decide that they should ditch the pills altogether and try for another baby.\n\nThe sinister undertones to this moment are hard to ignore. Hypothetically, if Luke wanted a baby and June didn\u2019t, he could very well withhold his signature, and have his way. It\u2019s only his decision that counts; the law wouldn\u2019t take her wishes into consideration for a second, for it has been introduced with the sole purpose of being in control of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-experiment\/letter-to-body-parts-body-positivity-self-love-mumbai-artist\/\">women\u2019s bodies<\/a>. It\u2019s difficult not to see this as an extension of the the state of America right now, where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/2018\/3\/28\/17173872\/abortion-pro-life-anti-groups-today-explained-podcast\">anti-abortion legislations <\/a>are at an all-time rise.\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>I did not wish to be accused of dark, twisted inventions, or of misrepresenting the human potential for deplorable behaviour.<\/p><\/blockquote> \n\nWhat\u2019s even more frightening is the fact that both June and Luke appear to ignore the implications of this law \u2013 they\u2019ve normalised a smaller, venomous iteration of Gilead to exist in their own home. It\u2019s proof of the fact that the crimson cloaks and the damaging beliefs that make up Gilead didn\u2019t magically come into existence overnight. Instead its traces have been around, and adhered to in the real world for a very, very long time. Except, we\u2019ve ignored these silent warning calls.\n\nIn a recent essay on how she came to write her award-winning novel, <a href=\"https:\/\/lithub.com\/margaret-atwood-on-how-she-came-to-write-the-handmaids-tale\/\">Margaret Atwood<\/a> claimed that Gilead and its twisted dictatorship wasn\u2019t just a figment of her imagination. \u201cI made a rule for myself,\u201d she writes. \u201cI would not include anything that human beings had not already done in some other place or time, or for which the technology did not already exist. I did not wish to be accused of dark, twisted inventions, or of misrepresenting the human potential for deplorable behaviour. The group-activated hangings, the tearing apart of human beings, the clothing specific to castes and classes, the forced childbearing and the appropriation of the results, the children stolen by regimes and placed for upbringing with high-ranking officials, the forbidding of literacy, the denial of property rights \u2013 all had precedents, and many of these were to be found, not in other cultures and religions, but within Western society, and within the \u2018Christian\u2019 tradition itself.\u201d\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1525953250.jpg\" alt=\"handmaids tale\" width=\"724\" height=\"407\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-34363\" \/>\n<figcaption>\n<p>Come to think of it, Gilead isn\u2019t all that different from India in how society forces young women to be child-bearers immediately after they are married off.<\/p>\n<p>Image Credits: George Kraychyk\/Hulu\n<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\nIf the show\u2019s masterful first season delved headfirst into dissecting the aftermath of a world-altering catastrophe that paved the way for Gilead, its searing second season dwells on how the spirit of Gilead has always been alive in the real world.\n\nLast year on <i>The Handmaid\u2019s Tale<\/i> (adapted from Margaret Atwood\u2019s eponymous novel), we came face to face with the horrors of a world where women were made prisoners of their reproductive system; devoid of agency, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/consent-aziz-ansari-sexual-assault-me-too\/\">consent<\/a>, and their right to choose. The chilling fact that the bodies of Handmaids are treated as mere objects was routinely reiterated in the show. Any rebellion by the Handmaids is ruthlessly killed: Ofwarren had her eye gouged out, Ofglen had to undergo a forced clitoridectomy for being a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/live-feed\/handmaids-tale-lgbt-storylines-explained-samira-wiley-alexis-bledel-interview-997564\">\u201cgender-traitor\u201d<\/a>, and Offred\/June herself was beaten up for trying to escape.\n\nAt that time, we\u2019d read this helplessness in isolation \u2014 as a product of a world that was racist, sexist, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/homophobia-transphobia-biphobia-idahot\/\">homophobic<\/a>, and believed in the powers of state-sanctioned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/politics\/asifa-legacy-rape-political-tool\/\">rape<\/a>. With season two however, the show\u2019s creators are asking us to rethink this very assumption by showing us that the desire to control women\u2019s bodies and thwart their sexuality isn\u2019t just a kink of a few power-hungry, emasculated men. It is instead, the greatest universal obsession of our time. If this season\u2019s first episode is any indication, the decision to control women\u2019s bodies is rarely triggered by any event; in fact it is a weapon that countries, governments, and people in power are always waiting to exploit.\n\nAnd it isn\u2019t America alone. As Atwood pointed out in the essay above, her references were drawn from the world over. Watching the series at a time that caps the year of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/harvey-weinstein-me-too-sexual-assault-rape-women-safety-office-environment\/\">#MeToo<\/a>, and the very public battles women have been fighting at home over the last couple of months, it\u2019s terrifying to absorb how seamlessly this visceral horror translates into the lives of the women in India. Take the gruesome rape and murder in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/politics\/asifa-rape-kashmir-kathua-murder-hindutva\/\">Kathua<\/a> for instance, a violation of an eight-year-old\u2019s body that was swiftly communalised and politicised. Where rape was a tool to extract revenge. The polarising reactions to the incident guaranteed that even in her death, the victim was denied any semblance of control over her body.\n\nBut this lack of control is a familiar subject in our country, where women are routinely denied assertion over their bodies in myriad ways: through moral policing, the mental conditioning that sex is a pleasureless duty, or in the government&#8217;s hesitation in criminalising <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/marital-rape-india-child-minor-consent-supreme-court-ipc\/\">marital rape<\/a>. Come to think of it, Gilead isn\u2019t all that different from India in how society forces young women to be child-bearers immediately after they are married off; even when they or their bodies might not be ready. Like Gilead, child-bearing and rearing responsibilities forced on women are disguised as a sacred responsibility.\n\nTotalitarian regime, the mistreatment of homosexuals, and the curbs on freedom&#8230; it is a reminder that Gilead is never far away.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Handmaid\u2019s Tale has returned with a searing second season that dwells on how the spirit of Gilead, where women have no control over their bodies, has always been alive in the real world.
