Raji,
Dowry is a menace, and such a shame..no second thought about it.Period.
But your updates are quite out dated. May be in 80s and the 90s this was true. Things are changing....rapidly and never like before...there is already a prominent wave of thought amidst the educated male generation of the present that asking dowry is a such a shame...to the extent of being a question of self dignity.
Well, if you are targetting the uneducated and backward sector where these thigs may still prevail, I can agree, but blogs don't reach their ears.
But, on the other side, let me tell you that there are increasing number of girls who want to have a life-partner who is financially stable...secured with a heavy wallet and they are quite vocal about it...wat do you call this, a "reverse dowry"..? If a guy wants to marry a rich girl, it is a crime but if a girl wants to marry a rich guy it is a social revolution and a contemporary thought! I hope we don't enter into reverse discrimination. I am not at all a misogynist but this is my thought.
I always wanted to post this comment here but I am all the more motivated now after reading the article below (including the comments):
