Patels ‘buying’ tribal brides for their boysThursday, 02 November , 2006, 17:13 Ahmedabad: The Patel community in Gujarat, known for their entrepreneurial skill and hold over agriculture and business, is facing an unusual sociological crisis — a skewed male-female ratio and having to “buy” tribal brides for their boys.
Skewed male-female ratio in the Patel community — especially among the Kadva Patels — has created a severe sociological problem. As a result of declining female ratio, the Patels are going to tribal areas of Vadodara, Bharuch, Panchmahals and other district of Gujarat **to “buy” tribal girls by paying around Rs 50,000 to Rs 1 lakh. **
“There are not enough Patel girls to marry the Patel boys. As a result, they are forced to buy girls from tribal areas of Gujarat to get their boys married,” said Gaurang Jani, a noted sociologist of Gujarat University.
Now Hindoos think they can really buy girls for their boys in order to balance the male female ratio. That is too bad. What about the disturbed male female ratio they are creating in areas where they are buying the girls.
Damn Jahiliyat is also rampant in Pakistan. We are no different. Stop spreading hate retard. Look at your own home. Atleast they are doing something about it. We have a longer distance to travel.
jahaliyat is in this response of yours too.
The manner in which you are speaking and mud slinging.
Pointing out flaws in other cultures is one thing, mocking those flaws is another.
Yes, it is true that Pakistan, or any where else, some groups or individuals practice ill ways in which they maintain control of the vulnerable people in the population.
our task, task of the people who can see beyond the recurring humiliations and deceptions, should not be to over look any of it, ot to just sit by and say, "its so sad..."
but on the contrary, we should do something constructive to effectively eliminate or at least minimize the fall out of such social injustices.
different. Stop spreading hate retard. Look at your own home. Atleast they are doing something about it. We have a longer distance to travel.
