Haryana govt proposes ‘Right to Bride’ bill because of poor sex ratio



“FSB has given the food grain to the household but if there is no woman to cook, the purpose of the bill would not be served. It is in order to complete the loop of hunger alleviation that we drafted this bill. It supplements the Right to Food Bill and is called FBS (Foreign Bride Scheme) on the lines of FSB.” were the opening remarks of Chief Minister of Haryana, Bhupinder Singh Hooda, while announcing the ‘Right to Bride Bill’.
“Our young vice president has guided us towards motivating the youth of the country to take over the reins of nation and this is one important step towards achieving his dreams.”  Mr. Hooda added while looking indulgently at his son and Member of Parliament,  Deepender Hooda.
Giving details of the scheme, he said, “Under the scheme, the government will take the responsibility of arranging brides for all the young men between 16 and 60. These brides would be sourced from countries having negative human sex ratio (More females than males). The delegations of MLAs and ministers would be sent to different countries to conduct road shows and meet the leaders of society.  We were inspired by Finance Minister’s visit to US trying to attract foreign investors while the local one’s were running away and this scheme has been drawn on similar lines.”
Responding to a question on reaction of Khaps to this bill, Mr. Hooda said, “The Khaps have been unnecessarily castigated as being mediaeval and feudal and what not. They have not only welcomed this progressive legislation but have also given some constructive suggestions to improve it.  One of the suggestions given by Khaps and under active consideration by the government is on reserving a particular country for a specific caste in order to retain the social hierarchy of the communities. So while brides from Austria would be reserved for certain castes, other castes would be allotted Somalia and Ethiopia.”
He was happy to respond to questions on cultural and ethnic differences the future brides would need to surmount in order to get accepted in the typical Haryanavi household and declared, ”We have planned for training programs for the potential brides which would include buffalo maintenance, dung cake production, hukka upkeep in addition to standard skills of cooking, washing, cleaning & working in the fields. There would also be optional programs on ‘how to avoid/survive molestation’ etc.”
To another question on wisdom of spending foreign exchange on such schemes in current economic environment, he responded, “This scheme is actually foreign exchange accretive. The brides will bring dowry in dollars thus contributing to foreign exchange reserves. Further, when our boys visit their in-laws, they would also get Neg which will be recurring dollar income for the country.”
“The skewed sex ratio has resulted in finding a bride becoming a bigger problem the youth of  Haryana  are facing. With introduction of this scheme over 3 lakh bachelors of Haryana would be able to contribute to Bharat Nirman,” he concluded.

Most of us would have heard or read this story before but its relevance to the current situation makes a retelling necessary. A sword smith came to the King’s durbar (any King, let’s be secular) and declared that he had the world’s best sword. It was so good & sharp that it could pierce any shield, repeat any shield in the world.  The claim was tested on the few shields available and when found to be true, the King became happy, and as usually happens in such stories, gave a lot of gold and other jewels to the smith and sent him off. A year or two later, the smith came to the King’s court again, this time brandishing a shield which, he claimed, no sword in the world could pierce. The people were simple in those days and he was believed.  The King was about to be relieved of some more gold and gems but then, one smart Ram Singh remembered the sword that the smith had sold earlier. He got up and reminded the king of the impossibility of both claims being true and a...

"I am quitting" said God

“I am quitting, with immediate effect.” said God. I was hit by the suddenness of it. God appearing to you can be quite a shock. “Quitting .. What?” I blurted out. “Quitting from the position of God” He was looking sad, weighed down by something. A fraction of a moment later, the realization of what He had said and the implication that the world was coming to an end dawned on me. I felt as if I have been thrown over a steep cliff into a bottomless abyss.  I stammered, “What? You can’t do that!” “Why on earth not? I am the master of my freewill. Are you telling me I am not?” God retorted. “I mean..  I mean, the world would come to an end.. Where would we go? What would we do? Oh, no. Would we survive? I don’t want to die.” I pleaded. “Don’t be melodramatic. Nothing is going to happen to your world.” God dismissed my pleadings. “Nothing will happen? How would world survive without you?” I persisted, still pleading. “Don’t act dumb. I gave you...
