00:06Still in small town India and rural India, the day a daughter is born, at least the financial
00:12purpose of the father's life is decided, cast in stone. Now I have a daughter, so all I am doing
00:19is saving for her wedding. And the expenses that you quoted do not go merely towards celebration,
00:26a lot of that is actually towards dowry. So what is the poor father doing for the next 25 years
00:32since
00:32the girl is born? Just saving, saving and saving. Think of his predicament. Before you understand why
00:39weddings mean so much to us and why there is so much clamor and such a big flow of money,
00:46you'll have to understand who we are and therefore what is this wedding thing in the first place.
