Btw I always wanted to ask you, in that pic of yours did you put Gullak in stocks because he was being naughty or was that his favorite place to catch a snooze?

😃No his favorite place to sleep was IN & ON my chappals-that day I was wearing keds,so he gave me a very reproachful look,wandered around most disconsolately & finally rested his head on the stays of the table & fell asleep.We have a very Kodak moment series of photos of him trying to get comfortable & finally fell asleep!
I would NEVER put an animal in stocks,wouldn't hesitate with many a human!!😃

very well said... infact South India especially a state like Andhra Pradesh who lures their daughters to get married to people employed abroad are very high in number... everyday one or the other girl's story is being covered in the news paper... i think the SMJ shud also focus on rest of India apart from North. And yes i agree that not much research or statistical data is being show on the episode (may be this is because of non co-operation from the authorities).

read the entire thread

some point of my own

when a woman stands for herself, she is given names by her husband, relatives and society. there arent many people who would look up to the woman who would dare to answer back to the torture being given to her by her own family or someone else's family for that matter.

Today I was watching the scene from the movie Lajja where Mahina Chaudhary kicks out the In laws for being horrible people. though th grand ma and the like minded people agree with te character or even in the movie. the father ends up weeping helplessly that WHO will ,marry my daughter now.. which was sad and regressive
Like the case of Rani from mumbai, so proud of her.

@bewafa

Thank you :)

Yes women who answer back are not looked very favorably by society, but I also know that the same family that disparages and mocks them, turns to these very women whenever there is a crisis.

And yes Mahima in that scene is brilliant and that scene my all-time favorite. Only had I been in her place I would've put her threats to action. 3 cousins who are 6'5" plus give me the confidence that we would've done it too.

Chitrashi is right about inter-caste marriages the parents who raise their children kill them just to save their honour thats really ridiculous after all if we hate if someone tell bad things about our parents then why our parents cannot support us just we want to marry someone we like thats insane those parents should think about the moments they spend with their children just for loving someone does'nt mean other people have right to kill somebody a boy or a girl does'nt matter the subject that, matters is killing these parents should think that if they had a choice to live their life with their loved ones did they kill or had a suicide no they been happily married to, thier loved one and then give, their children to do so is this right no one should have the right to kill someone
