DOWRY
....and
he walked away. She was running behind him and shouting his name loudly, crying her heart out and turn her back and started walking back to home.
This is our country. A versatile country with top notch knowledge fond
people exists here. We eat, digest, poop knowledge on a daily basis.
This is our nature. This is a good nature but modifying a great quote
for the time being we get the following lines; 'with great knowledge comes a great
personality and power'. If the personality and power gets mashed
together than most probably the birth of dowry occurs. Dowry a man made
tradition, a virtual happiness, a disgusting truth we face till date.
Hence i personally feel that whatever knowledge or personality you gain
over the year it gets smothered eventually. Our country is diverse.
Diverse with religion, ethnicity, faded cultures yet we follow western
tradition. A dowry is a process of narrow mentality a person performs on
the virtue of acts performed by the elders of same family. But isn't it
a crime? Do you think taking something or demanding a big amount suits
your that blackberry suit you're wearing? The plethora to mock or tease
and to start an argument is nostalgic. It is not wrong with any of my
words. Indeed it is nostalgic because it is been performed by our elders
from the time of independence and we're still hanging onto it. I'm not
being feminist here. A wrong is wrong, whether you accept it or someone
from your group come out and take a lesson out of you, just to make you
understand the depth. A girl is a goddess, becomes a mother , someone's
sister, a lover and so on. You can't count on their random nature and
cohesiveness with us, meaning the man's out there. Taking dowry and
showing your subtleness in front of everyone will just sell you and your
inner self to that of the girls family. Everyone wishes for the stars
but no one have that audacity to go and get the stars, this process
should stop. Stop to make our nation stand still, should stop for our
future generation, stop to make an impact on society, should stop with
you. If you're reading this article than you're a mature guy, please
don't let someone's family to suffer for you. Walk freely, earn a little
and spending all your earning to a beggar will just make you a fool.
Stop dowry and let you be the change. Many girls die or thrown out of
the family for money or the high class demands made by some of our youth
or their families. It is wrong. We can't be happy even though we have
crores of rupees yet we ask for more. More money, more demands. But on
the contrary earning less will also make your inner you sour. The real
happiness or love can only be seen when someone breathing his or her
last breath. When every body cries and offers the respect of love. Money
can't buy Respect or love. Hence please try to make yourself happy
first and walk toe to toe with your family and find some love on the way.
