An Indian Wedding and Happily lived forever/ever (Domestic violence and Dowry system)

-


 It is very obvious if the topic raises a question in your mind. India is a country where marriages are celebrated like festivals and people spend a lot of money. The environment turns out as spring season. you can literally smell the beauty of the environment. It is the happiest day for many. Not only the bride and the groom but the two families are also happy that day. Because for parents, it's like a dream come true if their children become successful and well settled and marriage is the start of their children's journey with their partners.

Have you ever attended any weddings? If yes is the answer, do you think that why people spend so much amount of money on a single day of their life? It can be justified if the families are rich and belong to a high-class society. But if a middle-class family or lower-class family spend much, then it is not a proper choice, because according to a study families take loans to spend it in a day and fall into a debt-trap. Just think in a way that, if you are not able to spend a lot of money, are they gonna affect your marital life in any way? No, then why we all follow the same trend going on. 

When a girl is born in a middle-class family or lower-class family, people around them suggest that they should start saving money for their girl's marriage. Firstly, we should change this mentality and start thinking in a way that if a father spends on his son's education, then he has nothing to spend during the marriage. While a father invests in his daughter's education, it is not at all over because he has to spend a large sum again at his daughter's wedding. This mentality can never lead us to emerge as a developed country and we will always be the same developing country fighting for gender equality. The younger generation has to overthink this topic and make a change in it and the way it has been going these past years.

Marriage is a reason to connect two people and their families. This should not be only for saying, it should be implemented in our society. But the actual scenario is that the way weddings look is totally different behind the scenes. Dowry is the main reason behind this. It is a common headline in the Indian newspapers about domestic violence. Think from the father's perspective who sends his daughter away from him and wishes her a happy married life, but what if it never ends in the way it should have been. What if happy married life forever changes into happy married life ever. It is a shame for our society if these things are happening nowadays also. It raises a question about our education system.

Myanmar: Democratic pillars fall apart

  This is not the first time when democracy had been murdered in Myanmar. So, it is unlikely to say that Myanmar is an example of Democracy. They gained their independence from the British Empire in 1948 and became a democratic nation. But it never lasted long in their history as, after 10 years in 1958, they were under military control for the first time. It lasted for nearly more than 50 years. Finally, the military dictatorship was officially dissolved in 2011, followed by a general election in 2010. Aung San Suu Kyi emerged as the leader of democratic Myanmar. But again 2021 was the year to be specially mentioned in the history of Myanmar. On February 1, 2021, the Myanmar military arrested the civilian leaders of the national and state governments and announced a one-year "state of emergency." The military arrested leader Aung San Suu Kyi, President Win Myint, and several dozen other senior officials in early morning raids in the capital, Naypyidaw. The officials were in ...

"The democracy of India represents the world's biggest democracy." This statement is justified because of the Indian constitution, which provides every citizen of India with various kinds of freedom. Indians enjoy those freedoms which are protected by our constitution and have the power to dethrone any government after every five years. All these years, the three bodies Judiciary, Legislative and Executive have been deployed to protects the rights that we enjoy. Earlier Jammu and Kashmir were given special status according to Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, which conferred them to have the power to have a separate constitution, a state flag, and autonomy over the internal administration of the state. The only reason behind the special status was the dispute between India and Pakistan, since 1947. On 5 August 2019, the government of India issued a Presidential Order making all the provisions of the Indian Constitution applicable to the state. In addition, the Jammu...

Supermarket: The Paradox of Choice

  Do you ever wonder that when you step out of a supermarket, the purchased item is the same as the list you thought before stepping in? "Two-third of what we buy in the supermarket we had no intention of buying," says various consumer experts. You need not get very much surprised because supermarkets are the ones who encourage you. From the point of your entrance to the place where you exit, every aspect of the store's layout is designed to stimulate shopping interests. When you enter a supermarket, you will find mostly fresh items near the entrance such as flowers, vegetables, milk, and their products. These are placed there because when you walk in and find something that smells great, and simultaneously builds the notion of 'fresh' that attracts us. Then we can find bakery products and grab-to-go items such as snacks, bottled water. These items get your salivary glands going and start feeling hungry and intended to buy more food items. In the middle of the sto...
