5 Things Girls Hate About Indian Society

By Anirudh Narayanan

We Indians love our country. Patriotism is deeply inscribed in us. The best example of our love for our country would be every time it plays Pakistan, no matter the sport. Still, there are some things that are trivial in nature but are so widely practised that people hate them. This is especially true in case of girls, as they are the most affected by it.

India is necessarily a patriarchal, sex-obsessed country. It is strange, as we worship women deities who are all powerful but the women in India today are far from powerful. They are constantly looked down upon, harassed, raped, killed in the womb and judged. All these things about India make the girl child hate it. The reason can be attributed to the male mentality, their ego, their upbringing, the obsession with a male child and the society.

Freedom With Limitations
Freedom has an entirely different meaning in India, especially for girls. Another one of those things to hate about India is its limitations in case of a girl's freedom.

Dowry
Indians have reached Mars but still some things seldom change. Dowry has been around since ancient times and it continues even today. It is so rampant that people believe it to be a part of marriage. Girls hate this thing, this evil, because they feel like a commodity who is being sold at a depreciation!

Shut Up About Abuse
Seems like Indians haven't heard of Sir Francis Bacon's famous quote, "Silence is the virtue of fools.", as they insist a girl to remain silent about any sexual abuse mete out to her, be it by the neighbourhood family friend, the uncle or the teacher. And all this in the name of honour! Add this to another one of those things girls hate about India.

Male Chauvinism
The whole of India has this belief that men are superior to women. The worst part is that some women seem to think so too! This makes girls hate the Indian society even more. The patriarchal system is widely accepted and makes things much worse for the girl.
