Dear Ram,
Thanks for posting Patricia's article at
assam.org. the net. I am very hopeful that the women of the Northeast,
with support from their menfolk, will lead women of the rest of
India to find freedom from oppressive customs.
With the best wishes,
Himendra

Dear Patricia,
I am happy to read your article in "The Statesman"
about women in the Northeastern part of India where there is no dowry
system.
Since this is something unique in India where
25,000 brides are "killed or maimed" every year over dowry disputes, will you be
interested to participate at the "Eighth International Conference Against Dowry,
Female Feticide & Son-Preference in India" to be held on December 27, 28
& 29, 2006 in Kanyakumari ?
Please contact Professor Werner Menski of the
University of London (School of Oriental and African Studies) and Dr.
Gopalakrishnan Karunanithi of Manonmaniam University, Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu
about the content of your paper. I am sending a copy of this letter to them, and
also to the organizer of the Conference.
I'll be very thankful if you contact me as soon as
possible.
With the best wishes,
Himendra Thakur
