IN INDIA THERE IS A SAD STORY THAT MUST BE TOLD. WOMEN ARE BEING SHUNNED BY SOCIETY. WHY? BECAUSE IT IS A TRADITION IN INDIA. LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN. IT IS A TRADITION IN INDIA.
THE WOMEN THAT ARE BEING SHUNNED ARE WIDOWS. THEY ARE CONSIDER TO BE THE POOREST INDIVIDUALS OF THE COUNTRY. IN INDIA HINDU WIDOWS CAN NOT REMARRY. THEREFORE, WHEN THEIR HUSBANDS DIES THEY ARE SHUNNED FROM SOCIETY.
THEY ARE ALSO SHUNNED FROM SOCIETY BECAUSE THEIR SOCITY KNOWS THAT WHEN THEIR HUSBANDS DIE THAT THEY WILL BE A FINANCIAL BURDEN ON THEIR FAMILIES. SO INSTEAD, OF THE FAMILIES TAKING CARE OF THEIR MOTHER OR SISTER THAT JUST TELL THEM TO GO AWAY. THEY HAVE NO COMPASSION FOR WHAT THEY ARE GOING THROUGH. IT IS LIKE THE FINANCIAL BURDEN IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR OWN FLESH AND BLOOD.
THE HINDU WIDOWS CAN NOT REMARRY. THEY CAN NOT WEAR JEWERY. THEY ARE FORCED TO SHAVE THEIR HEADS. MOST ARE FORCED TO WEAR WHITE ONLY. MOST WALK HUNCHED OVER WITH WALKING CANES. YOU CAN SEE THE PAIN IN THEIR FACES. IT JUST BREAKS YOUR HEART WATCHING IT UNFOLD. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT INDIA HAS 40 MILLION WIDOW'S. I JUST CAN NOT IMAGINE THAT MANY PEOPLE IN THIS CONDITION. IT MUST BE STOPPED.
MOST OF THE WIDOW'S GO TO A CITY CALLED VRINDAVAN. THE WIDOW BELIEVE THAT THE CITY WILL FREE THEM FROM THIS TYPE OF LIFE IN THE AFTERLIFE.
WE CAN NOT ALLOW 40 MILLION WOMEN TO SUFFER LIKE THIS. WE NEED TO REACH OUT TO THESE WOMEN. INDIA MUST BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE WOMEN. WE CAN NOT ALLOW THIS TO BE THE MIND SET OF THE GOVERNMENT TOWARDS WIDOW'S IN INDIA. IT IS AN OUTRAGE. IT HURTS TO HEAR IT. IT HURTS TO WATCH IT. IT HURTS TO IMAGINE THESE WOMEN WITH NOTHING. WE MUST STOP THE PAIN. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD.
