Please refer to my previous blog "Girls Are Responsible".
Sabeena & Charu have pointed out that it is very tough for a girl to against her family and society.
I do agree with them.
But does it mean that girls should keep quiet and bear the brunt of dowry, tolerate the curse of discrimination, prepare themselves for the ordeal they might go after their marriage ??
Look dears, In India ( like everywhere else ) money still talks.Infact it talks much louder than anything else. You ask any kid,teenager or youth and he wants to be next Anil or Mukesh Ambani or as rich as Bill Gates.No one wants to be Mother Teresa ( other than Miss India/World contestants because they are fed these lines in such a manner that whatever be the question,they know only one answer and that is this.No one wants to be a dedicated Indian citizen.
Sorry I got drifted away from topic.what I was sayiny is that in India money still rules.Power is still held with awe.And post is still respected.If one possesses all three,he is a super boss.If he possesses two,he is a big boss.And if he possesses just one,he is still a boss.
Only that girl can dare to refuse the marriage,who possesses at least one of these qualities.If she is financilly strong,even her family members can’t force her to marry against her wish.Work and financial independence inculcates extra confidence.And this is what a girl needs.She needs that extra confidence through money,post and power.Then only she can show doors to dowry dogs.
