Absolutely, men do not hesitate to demand dowry and see, those women who get married to such men wilfully, is really a pathetic state.

I pity these ladies and have no words to describe the so called educated men who take dowry.
Recently there was a cricket player who was proudly displaying the Audi car or some other car given to him by his would be father in law. Giving a gift is of course personal choice the father in law may be a very rich person and may want to share part of his wealth with his daughter.But making a show of it and advertising it only sends the wrong signals and the fellow came in for a lot of negative criticism n twitter and elsewhere ..
If father wants to share his wealth with his daughter, what is wrong in it. On one hand we are talking equal right for female. on other hand we are saying that it is wrong to give gifts in marriage to daughter. If son have right of wealth of his father why daughter have not?
Anil, before jumping in to respond, please read the last part of my response...it is not about rights but the impression created in a country where dowry giving and taking is a crime..
Yes I read it, can you separate dowry and gift.
Well if you have understood good or else leave it...
@usha manohar You are correct that the act of the cricketer is extremely condemnable. People believe in show which is so repulsive. Gifting is fine but it should not become a matter of exhibition and when people give importance to expensive articles then it seems like dowry. It must be criticised and these popular figures must learn to be within a limit. They must take responsibility in curbing social evils like dowry and so on.
Exactly, that is the whole point !

No luck is required to nail Congress, only strong will. I wonder whether Modi has that will as despite tall talk for last 2 years nothing happened to Robert Vadera.
Inquiry is continue in Rajasthan against Vadera. he is high profile person so it will take some time. Read it for more information.

Yes gur is useful in cleaning windpipe and stomach. Not only chemicals gur is effective in cleaning windpipe and lungs of persons who are working is cement and other industries like it. Gur is also rich source of iron.

It is wrong to say that the cricketer was showing off his new car. Thw press took photos and splashed them. Why should you be always critical. Please spare the cricketer. Congress bashing is enough.

If you visit old forts and palaces and old city areas, you will see no neglected but once functional water storage and drainage systems which were multifunctional, to catch rainwater and bring it to a common storage which was then carried to various places by way of aqueducts with inbuilt filtration and heating systems wherever it was required. In Pune, there are many such systems which were built by the Peshwas but have now become derelict because of unuse and neg;lect. Even in Mandavgarh fort we visited a while back, the water storage and drainage system was very much intricate and advanced, cleverly built. If these old systems were repaired and revived in the proper manner it was devised to be used as, it would solve many water problems.
I have seen the step wells in Gujarat and also similar underground ponds in Hampi and Vijaynagar and even in some houses in and around Mangalore. They have all been well preserved so far . One particular household close to Udipi has been helping out people who are facing water scarcity .
True...but not very few such systems might be in use today, most have fallen derelict owing to neglect. Especially the ones that exist in various forts and similar heritage structures, since they fall under jurisdiction of the Archaeology department, lack of proper maintenance and repairs etc. they are no longer used.
Agree, it is not a bad idea at all to have individual storage units rather than keep cutting down trees to build huge dams and make thousands of villagers homeless. If everybody contributes and pool in there will be effective ways of conserving water. I had visited a small town in Bidar which is a very dry place. An educated farmer with a Bachelors in Agriculture has gone in for a unique method of rainwater harvesting in his 12 acre plot which is not at all level and has small hills . Now after 7 years he grows fruits and other crops on a rota basis and his land looks lush and green.He also helps other farmers in his area to implement rain water harvesting.

Goa decided to continue with the laws introduced by the Portugese when it got its independence in 1961. In 1962 apparently it was modified to a certain extent and continues to be followed to this day.. Even Hindus can marry a second time under certain special or unique circumstances according to the law, not sure how this got included in it..
