When I was young I was not really impressed by M.K.Gandhi.
But As I grow older and read more of his original writing i am amzed at his rational and revolutionary thinking.
Marriage among Hindus is no simple matter. The parents of the
bride and the bridegroom often bring themselves to ruin over it.
They waste their substance, they waste their time. Months are
taken lip over the preparations in making clothes and ornaments
and in preparing budgets for dinners. Each tries to outdo the
other in the number and variety of courses to be prepared.
Women, whether they have a voice or no, sing themselves
hoarse, even get ill, and disturb the peace of their neighbors.
these in their turn quietly put up with all the turmoil and bustle
all the dirt and filth, representing the remains of the feasts,
because they know that a time will come when they also will be
behaving in the same manner.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
