@Chinmoy the reason the et tu Brutus occurred to me was because I gained the impression from your and @Gulshan's posts that in past you have complemented each other's views. Thus the vicious attack launched against @gulshan by some members including you made me feel, that is how he must be feeling especially about you. But with your clarification it now transpires that he does not feel so. So my premise was wrong. I apologise if it has caused you some misunderstanding which was not my intention. but if @Gulshan thanks me that should not cause you so much hurt.

Dowry is an initial investment to enable young couple to begin married life. This is like initial capital in a business enterprise. The system has become very undesirable because of greed.
Marriage is not a business that there should be some capital investment and that has to be made by the bride's side. A groom must be worthy to maintain his family. Some may not have a huge money to set up a house filled with all the essentials and luxuries but one can start with the most essentials through his own income (nowadays mostly both earn) and with time all other requirements can be arranged. There is an immense satisfaction when a family is set up through one's own income and not through money from wife's family. Gift is altogether a different matter. In marriage gift can be given by either side and if both the families gift a bit sensibly then it helps the newly wed in their expenditure. That's it but dowry is not a gift but a demand which is highly unacceptable.

This issue of a smart phone will die soon. The couple have made a tidy sum and now it will be bye bye.
The cheapest smartphone is from China and retails at rs 2800. Obviously there is a catch here. The couple may supply a few phones, but aim was to make money. They collected 78 lakh. Just keep a watch, you won't hear of this phone in another2 months

Those who love reading fiction, often remember the book by its fascinating characters. So let us check your knowledge, how well are you able to match characters and the books in which they had a role to play.

The hatred for Modi is crystal clear, emanating from the Congress and their allies the left and Lalu Prasad. They do not not accept the verdict of the people of India. Modi won fair and square and i hope he rules for another 20 years to bring sanity in India.

Now the situation is changing. It is true,groom's parents demand dowry and the Bride's parents have to oblige. But do you know that there are parents who offer dowry, even if the groom's parents do not demand dowry. Such parents think not offering Dowry is below their prestige.
In my case, I neither gave dowry for my two daughters nor accepted dowry for my son. There may be people like me who married their sons and daughters without dowry.
@rambabu There are many such families who fix marriage without dowry and among such weddings many of them are traditional arranged marriages too. I got married without dowry and my brothers too got married without dowry and all these were arranged marriages. We need to change our mentality and dowry system will get abolished.

Yes. let's wait for the final decision. There is no meaning in jumping to conclusions before the court's final decision.
As the issue pertains to Delhi, the position taken by Delhi government is significant. Delhi government gave clean chit to the accuse, Kanhaiya during bail proceedings although Police opposed bail. Bail was granted. Delhi government is contemplating legal action against certain T.V. channels for telecasting doctored videos.

Anything Kejriwala does is suspect because he would go to any extent to malign Modi and BJP , so also this so called inquiry conducted by him cannot be taken seriously...By now everybody knows how very unreliable he is ! Let the right people come out with their probe results and not some crazywalas report ..

I know about this issue. Balakrishna already apologized for his comments. The issue is closed.
i am a huge fan of Balakrishna, but i was shocked to hear that, but still he apologized i think that's over. he is human only, i think the word slip out of his mouth
Balakrishna certainly deserves punishment. But he has realized his mistake and apologized. His own Party warned him. Now what's the use of dragging the issue.
Heavens a lot of hue and cry on a off the cuff remark directed at his fans. I remember the famous James Bond star Sean Connery said women are dumb and just meant for...... or something similar. Let's not make an issue of a simple remark. Connery never apologised, but Balakrishna did it. Kill the issue.

Undoubtedly, Modi is the best thing that happened to this country. And I don't have any doubt about his conviction. Modi should be given time. This country after the misrule by the Congress for two decades, he's repairing the country's damage done by Congress one by one. " Achche Din " are not far away.
