Oh, Bride-shopping? I thought it must be something to do with sarees, jewellery, accessories so on... but No, it was actually men shopping for a 'bride herself'.
Can you beat that???
On the same day I heard some politician talking hours together on how the western influence is spoiling our women and why valentines day is against our culture. huh, what an irony!!! I wonder what kind of justification these leaders give for such practices? I still cant digest, one woman marrying 7 brothers... Sheeeesh...
what a world we live in...
Oh I forgot, Happy women's day!!!
Sigh!

hi there,
nice post....Women had been and are being depressed and harrased throughout the history.Its high time we do something about it.
There is actually an initiative taken by the blogging community to help women fight for their right.You may be not aware of it so please visit:

Great ! This is just what we needed to portray women as commodities! Tchee tchee...
Jay,
Ya :(
coolvir,
Hey,
shall surely visit the same :)
chitra,
hmm :(
Hey...i read this article too...
and yes it is disgusting to c how women continue to b treated as commodities in sum sections of r society.
But i do believe tht by and large their condition is improving,and the average indian woman today is much more empowered than most of her counterparts in rest of Asia.
Still there's much scope for further improvement.
ROL,
Ya right!!!
howda??? I dint know...
Tonight??? Duffer, women's day was on 8th and I was waiting so much for a date from you...
sigh! should wait till next year!!
This is indeed a sad thing...while on part of the populace is living in opulence and comforts, the other part of the story is extremely sad. Such evils need to be paid immediate attention. We call ourselves a civilised society, but we have many such evils like this one that mock us. A united effort is needed..great post khushi..this post is short, but it makes a point:-)
Hmm...this is very appalling to read..but most of what is happening is India can be attributed to poverty..Only way to stop all these is to work hard and harder !
i remember my grandmother educating me how her father went in search of gal during his age as there was a high scarsity of woman born in his sect. And how the mix of tamil and palaghat really took place. your story remainds me of that.
my graandmother used to say her father brought her mother by giving the really dowery to the gals father as there was lot of men ready to marry her.
just imagining how piety i am now.. not a single gal looking up on me. hieheihe. - just kidding.
Sudarshan, Naveen,
Hmm...

ha ha ha!!!
There is a prabhava of mahabharat...people might forgot love of women and its power for just one.
i came to your site after somee time and checking this post. hmmm
in tamil " dowery means "
VARA DHATCHANAAI
exact menaing
vara - to come
dhatchannai - present
In fact the vedic script in hindu brahaman way of living ( as hindu is not a religion but a way of life) says when a guy wants a woman in his life - he should pay the present to the gals father as he has brought her up in the world to be his woman to support him and to have their child.
Now the concept has changed by the male chauvenist society for which the woman also does the drum beats
