This applies to marriage, career, dress, etc., etc.. Girls/women are worse affected than boys/men.<br /><br />We cannot do anything about the past. We can do something about the present. But, we can do a lot about the future by giving our own children the freedom of choice. Are we ready to walk the talk?<br /><br />Reached here via A-Z. My A-Z theme, ‘26 Positive Takes on Life’ generally focuses on positive, truly heart-warming, real-life incidents involving ordinary persons whom we can all emulate.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146178816838612718.post-75659303020496161782014-04-16T21:33:37.445-07:002014-04-16T21:33:37.445-07:00'Being different and standing out and against ...'Being different and standing out and against is all good and revolutionary on papers, but, in reality, it feels a lot less heroic and mostly full of bad shit.' - Loved this line. You have so brilliantly laid out the truth behind fighting everyone to choose the person I want to marry. Guess what, I am still fighting.

And it's not just in marriages - it runs deep in every single aspect of society. The only answer that I can think of is to raise a generation of kids who just don't know what caste or religion is. So long live love and inter caste marriages! :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00958967078339516202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146178816838612718.post-6141551029832000662014-04-14T12:26:20.414-07:002014-04-14T12:26:20.414-07:00Yes I had a love marriage but I know what you are ...Yes I had a love marriage but I know what you are saying.

While our country has moved so far forward on so many other domains, esp in the areas of women's rights and choices, this is one really strange area.

Well written, and fingers crossed. xxxUdita Banerjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00319922744252378061noreply@blogger.com
