Since you have brought the topic about earning dollars and position of your dad, myself, a distingushed biomedical scientist working in an academic institution which ranks continuously among the top five universities in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. now you can compare the standard of education of USA and Canada. I do not only earn huge amount of dollars, but I hold a very respectable positon in USA at a young age. But I also know my tradition and culture very well.
I didn;t read your complete post, lest I write something more. If you had the intelligence to make out the meaning of the example from Ramayana, I have given you, you wouldn't have brought up your father's bank balance statement. Your citation of father's earning in dollars and comaparing my income with his is indeed an example of how modern you are... Great !

sweetyi dunt wanna argue with you. we have different opinions. you are old fashioned who believes in stiking to traditions and culiture, which is good for you. but i am a modern women. i live in canada and i am studing law at one of the most top universities. i am 21, and yes i do have some indian values. but i am also very open minded. i keep my self up to date with time. and i do not believe that women need a men in their life to be happy or every women should achieve one goal, and that is to get married. Men and women are equal. therefore the only important thing iin life is a snese of achievement through higher education and wealth and status. ofcourse having a loving family or caring about other ppl is a a bonus. ok and the stuff u worte, just shows how anti post-modern u r. ok but sweety here is a wakeup call, it is the 21st century. and as for ur credentials, my dad is an engineer who earns a lot of money than u prolly do, as he earns it in dollars. ok and guess what even my dad is more modern than u. he has 2 daugthers and he has never so far made any difference between daughters and sons. he even tells me and my sister that our goal in life should be gettting education and having a career, not marriage. and what does most indian shiows show us, that girls go to college and get education, but after getiing a degree they get married and remain dependednt on a man. so in many ways, indian shows have not really changed. i dunt wanan argue with u, but i just dont agree with how u view the whole vasu and ambika's relationship. and how it was ok for ambika to touch her younger sister's feet. ok by honoring certain relationships and tradition, you cannot loose your self respect in the process. SELF RESPECT is one of the most important thing in a person's life.

I agree with you in this statement....
I am not saying Ambika has to touch Vasu's feet.
But I just gave an example, when the old ladies were saying that , for them, sasural relationships hold equal meanings. I have seen many people taking blessing from their sister-in-law who are younger to them. Because they dont consider themselves old fashioned, but they know their roots well. In our culture we consider women as the supreme, because she is "Janani". God has given more power to women than men. But its all how you treat a person after all, because even if someone touched someone's feet, there might not be any respect. I was just trying to give an example from Ramayana, but your modern views think Ramayan is old fashioned, good...

dude maybe ur not intellegent enough to get my post. u started the whole thing by telling me about ur credentials. so i also told u about my father's credentials. and what i am saying is that if u want india to be all old fashined and like ranyan and stuff, then a lot of things wont happen. women would still be opressed and their only job would be in the kitchen and child bearing. ok i dun wanan go around in circle with this topic. all i am saying is u cant copare mytological relationships to modern day relationships now. i just dont like your justification for vasu slapping ambika and more importantly, hoe its ok for ambika to touch vasu's feet. if u r a man, you obviously wont understand a woman's point of view of how ambika felt hurt and lost her self-respect in the process. and if u r a woman, then all i will say is shame on you for condoning such actions and as a women u have failed to understand the most important value in a woman's life and that is self respect. thasta ll i wanna say. and yes i have limited knoledge of ramyan and other sutff, because perosnally i dun have time for mythological stories. and i will tell you this i am proud to be a modern independent woman who does not give into tradition/cultures that to many extent discriminates and opresses people or tears down ppl's self respect.
