March 2007 In many conservative Indian families, widows are seen as a liability. Cast out of the family home, they live the rest of their lives in poverty and isolation.
"She becomes a zero and all her powers are lost", states Dr Giri, explaining how some women's status change when their husband dies. With no where else to go, thousands come to Vrindavan, city of widows. It was the childhood home of Hindu God, Krishna, who championed downtrodden women. "They come here in search of death", explains Dr Giri, in the hope they will have a better afterlife

★☼♥ ☺☠♫☆ HEY! Many Indian problem came from stupid traditional . We indians can make our country better(modern), if we can stop the old traditional and his stupid stroys. Dont fight for your religion instead fight for your nation. Religion don't unite india! The fact is thinking rational. We need a change of mindset in indian people! Indian tv shows are shit like the Indian government.They do not anything to educate the indians.The only hope is a strong indian economy! Copy paste!
its a heart breaking reality of the women..... i blame the unliterate society for leaving the widowed women in such a pain........... god bless them.......
I cried during the whole video!! Its a sad story and I hope people help these widows!! I feel like killing the children of these widows. They cant take care of their mothers. They should burn in hell!! Its a sad story and I am definately going to go this place and help them!! Its my promise and I always fulfil my promise!! There are still some backward people living in India who have low life and dont know shit!!
I am happy being christian. My God does not make distinction of people. we are equal before before the only and true who is the Father of Jesus Christ.
This must be a fucking joke because last time I checked Christianity has caused the death and persecution of both Homosexuals (O' but wait they aren't people like you) and Jews. Also, lets not forget the pain they caused to African Americans during slavery; and your God made this world to protect the chosen people, who are the Jews.
This slump is unfairly blamed on Hinduism...Nowhere in our text is it said that one is to abandon their mothers and grandmothers to death...Look at the Ramayana and Mahabharata...Look how the Pandavas worshipped their mothers till their death...This is OUTRAGEOUS that Hinduism is blamed!
