Impact of dying social values on matrimony

Haryana is a state known for its laborious people. For centuries this land had been a land of war,turmoil, external aggression and mutual mistrust. Different tribes and communities inhabiting had to face hostilities of variegated kind for their survival. These peculiar circumstances made the society typically rigid .Castes and gotra rules the roost. Not only higher castes but also lower castes are infested by the disease of gotra determining the fate of young couples.Every now and then we come across such ugly incidents and instances in our society. Recently a new such case surfaced in village Siwaha of Panipat district where this time a lower caste couple was dictated to dissolve their solemnised marriage or face the consequences. It seems that a influential section of lower social star ta aping its counterpart and by doing so they are not only appeasing their desires to be leaders of tier castes but also trying to equate themselves with traditional head of so called forward castes. We find typical contradictions in behaviour of these leaders who are otherwise totally opposed to tier counterparts in each and every walk of social life. It amply proves that in hypocrite behaviour both segments of society are comparable.Miseries and atrocities propounded on females particularly on young couples pleases both. The so called guardians of society are hell bent upon to destroy the social fabric and; to preserve their constricted pseudo ideals and say, playing with the teeming young lives.Should the right thinking people keep mum or they raise their voice? Will the common man living in today's Haryana register his anguish? Lets think.................
