social mania- issues

Everything seems good when we discuss about growth of india, when we look at Sensex and the GDP. Irrespective of downwards movements of worlds we keep growing at some constant rate, are enough to feel us satisfied. But same when we come to know about few followings-
1. Child marriage of girl with the man age of her father. (It's a ritual in TN )
2. Khap panchayat (dark side of democracy)
3. Non realistic boundation for widow.

In TamilNadu near the Jambumadai district many district have beliefs of marrying her girl child to the man age of her father. This ritual is not comes under government law as child marriage is crime but here this is allowed. These areas are also among most cases of AIDS effected areas. I am not writing here that we should feel sorry for them, but it is the time when some of us have to come up and took an initiative. Atleast petition should be filed in supreme court by some higher authority as N.D. Tiwary has filed for not giving his blood for DNA test. Think little bit because nothing will be automatic.

Khap panchayat are made for dictatorship, for more details google it or click here.

In india there are too many laws for providing freedom to widows, but still the situation on real earth is not good. If a girl become window at early age, she had to go with the process of her new family. There should be common understanding among families that she needs some good support for her life, so she should also have the right of choosing her new partner (if she wishes). In metro cities the culture has adopted it but in rural and backward areas the situation are worst. Needed some movement like Anna hazzare did for Lokpal. it should not be against anyone, It should be for making awareness among people about this issue. Some initiative may improve the scenario.
