13. Speech on –“Evils Of Dowry” By: Tariq Ahmad Malik (BHS chountiwari ) Worthy headmaster BHS Chountiwari Machel , Respected teachers, dear brothers and sisters- Asalaam alikum . Today I am going to deliver a short speech on the topic “Evils Of Dowry” Listeners: Dowry is such an evil that has eroded the fabric of Indian society to its core. Due to this menace the girls from poor families alone are compelled to suffer the burns. Their parents fail to amass the wealth to be passed over to the grooms. In many cases girls from this section of the society remain unmarried for the whole life. Liteners : Sometimes ,owing to the social pressure, some grooms remain from staking the claim for dowry, and bring home the brides with out it. Such grooms ,soon after the wedding, start their high handedness, and pressurize their spouses to bring dowry.Such girls are brutally tortured, and in many cases compelled to commit suicide. ( continued…..)

14. Speech (….continued) Listeners: In the country where people perform the puja of Durga , Sita , Radha and Yashuda,but they don’t shy away from burning alive the daughters of the poor families in the name of dowry. Listeners: among scores of the evils prevalent in India, murder in the name of dowry is the worst. And it is the youth who have kept a price tag on their heads.The biggest irony of Indian society is that the student in IAS exam writes a thought provoking essay on the topic “ Evils Of Dowry”, qualifies the exam, and becomes IAS officer, and when he is to be married ,he demands the dowry of one crore rupees. Listeners: It is the youth of this country who has to change himself for the good of the society. Youth need to come forward and set precedence by performing simple marriages. They have to float the message that how sheer injustice it is to demand from a father both his beloved daughter as well as property. Can’t the education given to the daughters suffice for their dowry

15. So,dear listeners: Lets unite to make the society groom on moral values. The law enforcing agencies have also a dominant role to play in this direction. Lets hope our society awakens to the seriousness of this menace. (thanks). …………………………………………………………………………………………….
