Every human being has come to this earth to enjoy its beauty and learn to live with others happily. But most of them think that they are permanent settlers of this world and they should encroach its land and earn a lot of money. As a result of it, selfishness, jealousy, and greed occupy their minds. Every individual wants to posses what the other has.
Another evil the society has is treating the womenfolk as slaves. All such thoughts have brought the evil, the dowri system in the society. Dowri system has been followed only in the royal families not on the basis of compulsion. Two such families exchanges their valuables as a foundation for friendship. But this has slowly corrupted the poor and exploited them. The wore of its is that it has resulted in deaths.
A bride is considered as Goddess Lakshmi or an Angel by all families. But if the bride does not bring gold, silver and money, she is done to death. Who does it Many such cases reveal that women are behind dowri system. When a society strives for the uplift of women on one side, they start destroying their own set on the other side, all thanks to their greed for gold. That is why Edwin Muir says in his poem, ‘Castle,’ ‘We have no arms to fight it with’.
The Central Government has passed laws to imprison the victims. Social organizations educated the people about it. Films and Television kendras project this the evil effectively. Despite all this evil persists because people fail to repack their own kith and kin. Every individual is important in this world. Live and let live should be one’s motto. ‘All men are brothers and sisters’ are Gandhiji’s words. One should not desire for another’s property as desire is the root of all evils. So the evil, the dowri system should be rooted out.
