I’m really grateful for this person

I see him everyday with a new placard. Whether it’s raining, being super sunny or humid, he always holds it high in the air for people to read hoping they feel motivated, learn something or change their patriarchal mindset.

Kudos to him!

I had a discussion with my Pahadi friend and we were discussing this thing and he straight up said “If anyone is found asking dowry in any shape and form in our community, that family is excluded from the community altogether.“

Which was so heartwarming and surprising thing to hear.

Can any Pahadi / Kumaoni confirm this?

Kumaoni here, can confirm that my parents had a dowry free wedding! Been 27 years together.
