Hitting Dowry for a Six by Kalpana Sharma SUBSCRIBE for more Videos COLLEGE LECTURES Hitting Dowery for a Six Written by Kalpana Sharma, the article is based on the anti-dowry movement started by Nisha Sharmain 2003 and compares it to the 1970’s movement started by Satyarani Chaddha. This article is an approach by Kalpana Sharma to encourage modern women to fight against such evils and tell the world the importance of women in human society. Nisha Sharma’s case is widely different from Satyarani Chaddha’s case but always reminds the public of the anti-dowry movement started by her. Nisha Sharma continued to meet her laws’ each and every unreasonable demand until they could not afford it so with the help of her parents, Nisha was able to fight those demands. On the other hand, there is Satyarani Chaddha who only took a step when her daughter was killed because her family wasn’t able to meet the martial family’s demands. Nisha’s courage was widely acknowledged by the whole country. The writer says that all the women who have become the target of dowry shouldn’t mask their faces as they are not alone and should stand up for themelves against dowry otherwise there would be no use of Nisha’s and Satyarani Chaddha’s efforts, Kalpana Sharma discusses the reasonable and unreasonable demands and that why a bride should meet them. Why are there any reasonable demands that the bride has to pay even after providing the additional domestic help to the martial family. A bride is asked to bring a scooter, drawer, washing machine, TV, fridge, furniture, cupboards to her martial house otherwise she becomes a burden. The article questions this perspective of Indian mentality that how a woman who works all day long to serve the laws’ family becomes a burden for them. In some cases, the bride is expected to bring unreasonable amounts of clothes like 21,31,51 sarees and all with different matching petticoats. All these demands are not reasonable at all and in the end becomes a price for the bride’s family which they even have to pay in advance. Keep watching college lectures for more lectures
