This 98 yr. old man gives hope to battered women!

All for women

DB Kulkarni, 98, continues his crusade against atrocities on women. Daughter Asha has also been chipping in for the cause, helping women fight for their rights

 

 

At the grievance cell of the Anti-Dowry Movement headquarters here, this 97-year-old has been the guiding light to scores of women with complaints of dowry harassment, domestic atrocities and even forced marriages for the past 37 years. DB Kulkarni, lovingly called ‘Mamasaheb’, has not given up his fight yet.

 

 

He says his movement followed an intuitive sign from his SaneGuruji. “We see atrocities on women everywhere, even among the rich but we choose to be quiet about it... They are being treated inferior to men in one way or the other; but we go about our daily lives as if nothing happens. Rather everyone should be a guardian of the society.”

 

 

Daughter Asha Kulkarni, 59, who helps him in his efforts, is also a member of the organisation devoted to the cause of uplift of masses, especially women, and to eradication of dowry through social revolution. The movement operates through street plays, drawing competitions, debates and the like.

LET US START A E-MAIL CAMPAIGN TO NCW TO DECLARE  2011 AS NO DOWRY YEAR . NO GIRL SHUD AGREE TOO A MARRIAGE WITH A BEGGAR FAMILY.

I praise your efforts. In genuine and truthfull cases of harassed women, I will definitely help you on legallhelpp@yahoo.in to further your cause and it will be a practical and very usefull help provided the complaining woman is truthfull and is really harassed by the man.Because women are in fact the shape of Godess if they are truthfull and genuine in their nature which God embarked on them.Women fulfilling their vanity and harassing their husbands to exploit them and to make them cut off from their parental duty it will be difficult for me to help them because then it will not be justiying. We should safeguard both because somewhere the husband is wrong and somewhere the wife also is wrong.

women' interest must be protected, in thier happyness and wellbeing, our happyness is incorporated.

Every marriage must be registered and statement of both the parties should be taken that this marriage is free from dowry force or coercion.

May  rays of his mind reach among the present male generation who are waiting  to get dowry .
