India Part 3

The sound levels at the end didn't transfer well after the upload, so here is the transcript of the voice-overs at the end:
Great strides have been made in revolutionizing the way women are viewed. Although arranged marriages continue to be a common practice, it has become more and more standard for young adults to have a say in the matter. Though this is not always the case, many families now allow their children to have a short courtship before agreeing to the marriage.

In addition, the payment of dowries was outlawed in 1961 in order to protect women against the potential violence and harassment they faced if the dowry could not be fully paid.

There are a breed of women in modern day India called Draupadi Women. These women work to gain liberty and success in their intensely patriarchal societies by combating the sexism and reforming the way women perceive themselves, their worth, and their destinies. These lucky women are ones whose parents believe in the equality and value of women. These are the daughters who are being raised with education, fair say, and the hope for a life independent from men.

Draupadi Women who take pride in their independence from man. New waves of feminism are reaching India and reforming the way women see themselves, their worth, and their destinies. They are ones who are kept and raised by their parents for higher education and successful careers.
