Traditions - Mutaide Bhagya and all. Married women are supposed to wear 5 symbols of womenhood or whatever bangles, chains, bindi etc etc. Hate and anger at such things? I realised why it was probably mandated.. if u look at western women in their 40s and 50s most of them take care of themselves, use makeup and make themselves presentable. but Indian women in their 40s and 50s? their whole world is their husband and children...they dont give a damn about their looks many times.. if not for such mandates their husbands would leave them! LoL!! :-D Now seriously, just look at an Indian Hindu woman and an Indian non Hindu woman.. Hindu women look attractive because the bindi -adds color to the face.. in the absence of make up. especially when they are getting on. (OK This seems a bit racist/religionist/agist without context but that was the feeling at that time and I am not going to be politically correct about it! ) and as for gold..Jewellery is the only wealth the women posses..so! Having rules is not great but they were probably made by good intentioned nice clever people no? with no malice?
