The world is not eligible for you
Dead body of a victim killed by her in-laws for dowry. She lived in a society where the nation claims “Assamese never had culture of Dowry”.
This is the culture of Assamese nation, happening daily. No media, no organization bother to shout for a moment for these cases. Police takes bribes, Doctor takes bribes for manipulating post-mortem report and victim always remain waiting for justice for endless wait, even after her death.
Times of Assam condemns this incident and appeals to provide people of Raha, Nagaon to provide us information got in this issue. Times of Assam seeks for help to fight against these social crime which are being neglected by all other media and organizations. Let us fight against this crime, by our every end.
Times of Assam pays tribute to the soul of the victim and condolence to her family: Your daughter was too good that this world was not eligible for her.
Dowry was really not a culture of Assamese society….. but eventually this shameless practice is increasing day by day in Assam! While the rest of India is slowly getting aware of this evil practice and raising their voice against it, Assamese society is witnessing increasing dowry-deaths and dowry related problems….. The most shameful part is that it is not only increasing amongst the poor, and the lower-middle classes society, but the so-called high-class people are also tending to take dowry from their daughter-in-laws or from their wives or whatever the case may be! Rather they are taking pride in following the practice of dowry in their son's and daughter's marriages! Yes, the victims, us and our society, of course, do need the protection of laws and support from the judicial system… and of course the media has a lot to do with this! But as far I can see law only is not going to stop this crime…. What I feel is awareness in our young generation has to go a long way with this…. If we vow to ourselves that we will not give and accept dowry then only I guess there could be a solution!
Miss Bordoloi,
Times of Assam was initiated with such aim to remove these social evils. We do need active co-operation from peoples who are really intended for such good will.
Regards-
Times of Assam
We should have Capital Punishment for People doing such Crimes. Nothing Less is desirable for such Lowly Creatures.
Moreover, we the Common People should stop sleeping & fight against such Social Evil .
Blindly following some of India's worst cultures have grossly polluted the Assamese society recently. Marriages with other Indian communities particularly among the boys and girls studying outside Assam have slowly but steadily introduced the dowry system to the Assamese society as well. Although denied, I know many rich families paying huge dowries in cash and kind for their daughters' marriage to non-Assamese boys. Only love and respect to our own community and culture can save us from such degradation.
The institution of arranged marriages within Indian culture is responsible for this coupled with the increased affluence and correspondig greed in Indian society. The male-dominated attitudes are also part of this malaise.
Social change is the most difficult one and will only take place when young men and women are able to free themselves from their blind traditions and able to make free choices – economic dependency goes hand in hand with social dependency.
