I listen many people talking about dowry cases in social functions,I see a lot of sharings of misfortunes related with dowries on Facebook walls and pages,I even find laws implemented against dowry promoters! But If, just for a change,I ask how many of you really took interest in this evil practice that is still progressing in many places and it's growing on daily basis? To be frank,none or a few. Yes,I know this too that many of you are not even aware of the fact because you believe it's 21st century and who is so outdated to follow such an old ritual?
I, too wasn't so aware but I got frozen when I found that the rate of the dowry misfortunes has actually increased in last few years.Our industrialized Orissa has top the charts and this crime has grown unabated! The number of deaths due to the dowry system has increased from 338 in 2010 to 525 in 2014! I mean,how,why? We are growing,getting advanced,we talk about having global mindsets and where really are we?I am from India and my country has topped the chart of evil practices,especially dowry. Feeling proud,Indians? I am not!
I get in touch with people talking about changes but these questions messes my head up-" Are you, yourself,really changing? Are you taking the step first? Are you really developing good in your own house? It's a shame that you see marriages happening in your own family with exchange of dowry and sarcastically posting on FACEBOOK walls "PRAY FOR HER SHE DIED BECAUSE OF THE DEVIL OF DOWRY."

Recently,I got amazed when I encountered a girl who denied to marry because she came to know that her father was asked to pay an amount of Rs. 20 lakhs and a Duster automobile as dowry to the boy who is a submarine engineer. The most shocking stuff is that the girl is a software engineer and is earning twice as of the boy! The girl was taunted for breaking the marriage and for her statement which was"I DON'T NEED TO PAY HIM TO MARRY ME!"
Her father and her family even got insulted in the society .Why? Just because their daughter did right. Wow,The great Indian society! And they say they are developing globally!Holy Shit!
Don't you think enough is enough? Don't you think you should stop this evil practice in your own circle first? How can you expect the surrounding to be clean when your own house is full of dust?I am a girl too and I raised my voice in my house and I am going to raise every time this dowry is going to interfere in my family. You raise too in your house,in your circle and see how we get rid of this evil!
I don't say don't promote for dowry stoppage on social media.Do it,no offense. But,raise your voices manually in your own circles first. Go louder everytime you see dowry exchanges happening in your known reign " I OBJECT!"

girl is not a material , she is a human , u cant take money to keep her with u.... just think once wat happens to the parents of the girl , and if u have a sister u will also have to suffer from the same ...................
ReplyDeleteI appreciate ur support :) my friend! (y)
ReplyDeleteExactly first we need initiatives
ReplyDeleteYes,u r right.
ReplyDeleteThe dowry system puts the bride side to be always on search rather than fly without wings !! But , where there is no dowry system , or where it is decliniing , the bride and the bride side have started flying without wings !! Now, even a lower middle class , middle class dream of marrying the wealthy and rich guy !!
ReplyDeleteIn the hope of getting married to wealthy and rich guy , they keep on rejecting the guys who are at their level !! This results in the social unbalance in the society , where the groom belonging to the lower middle class , middle class does not gets married because they fail to recieve enough proposals from the bride side.
ReplyDeleteIt's nothing in relation with my topic of dowry but still to answer you, everyone has their choices and I don't think the middle-class Boys are not getting married! It's completely another assumption people are making. marriages can't be stopped no matter what. People fall in love and they marry. Don't u love is above all matter even money.80% of people today do love marriages. A rich girl can fall in love with a driver too! love has no boundaries,dowry has nothing to do with boys not getting girl's proposals.
