[QUOTE="dalsingh, post: 47275, member: 2883"] I recall watching AlphaPanjabi channel recently and one Panjabi girl (speaking about the female foetus fanticide issue), said that she believed that when women in the Panjab themselves value their daughters/daughter-in-laws as much as boys, the men will soon follow. One big factor contributing to the problem to my mind is the greed for having sons. Historically it can be understood in terms of security for the parent(s) where daughters get married and move away. In an environment where there are no social welfare systems, parents rely on sons to support them in old age in many ways, although truth be told, from my personal experience, women often play a big but unrecognised role in nursing for elderly parents so the picture is more complex than this. What is strange about this situation is that being a "kurimaar" was a serious issue during the early days of the Khalsa which resulted in instant excommunication with no contact with the persons who committed the crime. So how we have regressed so far from ideals that we as a society once held is a big question in itself. Some will cite Kalyug as the cause whilst others will point at the general decline in religious beliefs in society. With the dowry problem, greedy in-laws play a big part, dowry is something that should have ended a long time ago but sadly some sections of our society seem to consider not having expensive and ostentatious celebrations at their daughter's wedding some sort of personal insult to the "honour" of their family. This needs to stop. Mother-in-laws are also commonly cited as problems when some see the growing bond between their sons and their spouse as threatening and try and jeopardise this causing unnecessary friction. I don't agree with all of what Kaur has posted. One mistake I think females with foreign origins make in the west is to equate equality with the womens liberation movement started in the west. This is problematic in that often it seems to have gone down to women having the rights to do all of what men do, including the really dumb stuff, hence the "laddette" culture that many westernised girls now aspire to. This is sad, if women want equality, don't follow models of male behaviour but develop your own otherwise it makes no sense and seems like women want to basically be men, which smacks of an inferiority complex. Try and aim higher...lol! Don't let white society dictate your mode of progression, by all means learn from it, but don't blindly replicate it, it can be done better. Whilst the East is generally accused of suppressing women, the west can also be held accountable for promoting the depiction of women as purely sexual objects, where looks, style and careers account for all. This is very handy for western men both sexually and in terms of capitalism which largely props up their society. Women have a great power in their roles of mothers on how their children think and develop. Infact they can change society in this manner by collectively changing the mindset of a generation, hopefully for the better. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
