The Dowry System and YOU!

[bnashier]

This message is directed at all the members of Jatland.com. Every person has a special liking or distaste towards something particular. The dowry system in our society pinches me more than almost all things in life. And when you talk to people, they seem to agree to rid of the problem and they generally pretend as though you are talking about some other folks out there. So I have a suggestion for the elite class of Jatland.com members. Those of you who are bachelors, would you resolve to yourself that your self-respect will prevent you from accepting anything other than simple/tasteful food provided by your party when you get married. Such examples by highly educated people will certainly have a greater impact than anything else. Poor people don’t set examples - it is the class of privileged ones that must demonstrate the courage to pave a path which would be followed by less-privileged. The Jatland.com membership is reasonably large to make an impact once each one of us and our friends can join this drive!

Dear All,

While going through the archives I noticed something strange. Actually I was serching tha archives in response to comments by a respected member that there is a lack of any new ideas on the forum.

I wonder how we would change the community when we can't even SAY NO TO DOWRY IN PUBLIC & PRIVATE? Not one reply? Unbelieveable!!!

Any takers?

Regards,

JS Malik

The new generation has a responsibility to eradicate the dowry system. Here is the joke which I have also posted in 'Humor' section.

Dahej mein “Ladki ki Maa”

Ladke ki shaadi thi. Dahej ke lobhi baap ney Chhohrey ko kaha: “Beta, jo kuchh bi chahiye, us se ek paeri (step) upper hi maangna. Jaise cycle ki jaroorat ho to motorcycle mangna aur motorcycle chahiye to car.”

Ladka dahej ke khilaf tha. Phere hone ke baad us-se poochha gaya. Woh kahna to chahta tha “ Mujhe to sirf ladki chahiye”. Par baap ki baat ka dhyan rakhte huye bolya: “Mujhe to ladki ki maa chahiye”.
