It is highly necessary to bring down such social evils and bring some joy to the lives of these unfortunate women. Hope we will see more of these in the future.
Kudos to the organizations helping and promoting these changes...

Widows break taboo ....
by pankaj butalia on Mar 23, 2016 11:46 AM  | Hide replies

This is complete nonsense. Every year this item comes out and claims it\'s the first time. I made a film on the widows of Vrindavan in 1992 and in it the widows play holi as they\'ve been doing since. Can\'t understand how we forget so easily what we read last year and the year before .... and so on

you are correct, and I am sure the number of new inmates in this ashram has not been decreasing too.

A small step for womankind

In a nation where women are not allowed to enter temples and dargahs, this is a small step towards emancipation of woman.
