| Summary, etc |
This article examines dowry deaths in Kerala through the lens of Nattukar (local community actors) and their role in shaping responses to gender violence. It reassesses the adequacy of existing interventions and highlights the limitations of institutional mechanisms in addressing the persistence of dowry-related deaths. By foregrounding community practices and the lived realities of women, the study calls for reimagining social needs and policy frameworks. The analysis situates dowry deaths within broader questions of gender justice, cultural continuity, and the responsibilities of both state and society in combating systemic violence. After Cyrus ministry’s death in a car accident, National transport minister Mr Nitin Gadkari posted a video on twitter on 9 September 2022, emphasizing the importance of airbags in cars. The video, which starred Akshay Kumar and carried a logo of the 75th anniversary of Independence, ‘Azadi K Amrit Mohitsav, showed a performative bidaai ceremony, which is a ceremony organize dbythe family of the bride to overtly bid Farwell to their daughter as she levees fo the marital home. – Reproduced |
