A ticket to heaven

India, the land of rich cultural heritage, the land of varied cultures and traditions, has carved a place for itself in this world as the land of values and principles. I am proud to be an Indian and would do anything for keeping up the name of my country is an emotional outburst we hear of every partriotic Indian's mouth. Good to see that spirit ruling your senses and reminding you to persist with your goals. India is thriving hard to compete in every field and it is in fact standing out to be the best among its competitors. We, Indians are considered to be a group of intelligentsia who would face any challenge given to them under any cirumstances. Great to hear the news of our Indians thriving in foreign soil. But did we really stand out unique in the finer aspects which have got nothing to do with the engineering skills but the skills to structure your life? Amidst this concrete world we are leaving a few stones unturned. Certain issues have never been dealt till date and are still persisting unheeded by many.The major issue concerns the evil which brought together many revolutionaries, the evil which has ruined the lives of many young married woman, and the evil which has spanned generations, the Dowry system. Every parent knows about this system, but when it comes to the marital bliss they forget everything and are ready to offer or take dowry as a token of gift. Well, a good way to rename an evil, thanks to the language. This is an evidence to the fact that money rules the world, money takes the place of love when it comes to uniting two souls in heaven, as said by many. It is common dear, you need to offer dowry, or else you are not fit for marriage is the trend that has been followed by many parents for generations. Parents of the bride are ready to offer and parents of the bride-groom are ready to take, to hoard it for future purposes. Marriages are made in heaven, but money is the key to heaven, well a ticket to heaven...Hurry up offer may close if anyone who offers more dowry comes and grabs it. Sounds silly in this 21st century, but you do have a few cases.
