Festivals such as karva chauth and symbols such as mangalsutra and sindoor are subtle signs of male domination in society and its disgusting.
At one point, even sati was considered a tradition but it was inhuman and therefore faded away... same should happen to KV and stuff...😡
And though some husbands do it its mainly the women who are expected to do it and some are even forced😡😡 Touching your husbands feet is even worse😡
These are nothing more than superstitions and means of male chauvinism in society😡
Well said - I just hate the fact that they expect a woman to touch the husbands feet !!! its basically total submission !!! The husband could be a womaniser /wife beater / but it is still considered patni dharam to touch his feet and put sindoor and mangalsutra 😡 just makes me sooo mad. I remember when I got married I had made it v clear that I am not touching my husbands feet - lkuckily my hubby and I think a like - so he was very clear that I will not keep karva chauth either considering he is a punjabi and I am a southindian... tho my in laws reminded me its karva chauth they did respect the fact that I dont believe in all these medievel customs...
