As a result the family of bridegroom tortures the bride. It’s a
shameful act. It violates human rights.
Teacher: Very good Ishmael. Radhika, do you want to say something?

Radhika: Yes, sir Deuki is such a social practice in the far western region.
Where a young girl such as me usually is offered to the god.
This religious superstition has spoiled the life of girls and has
violated humanity and human rights of the girls.
Teacher: Well said Radhika. Neema, can you tell me the causes of such
evil practices?

Neema: Yes, sir. First of all, there is illiteracy and poverty. They also
have blind faith on such practices. A few months ago, a boy
died with snake bite. He was taken to a Dhami instead of
hospital. Poverty and illiteracy were the causes.
Teacher: Very nice Neema. Accusing
someone of being a Boksi
and torturing her believing in,
superstitions, giving preference
to the son, are some examples
of social evils. Similarly, child
labour, class, caste and gender
discrimination , domestic violence, etc. are a few other serious
evil practices. Rama, tell me about your ideas to avoid such
evil practices.
