Environment and Energy Conservation issues have returned to the forefront of the media with the Earth Hour day approaching on March 26th. Among all that is being written about it, it made me very happy and proud to read that the demand for solar panels in India has doubled in the past year specifically in the regions parched for electricity (Bihar, Uttarakhand etc) But as I read on, I realized that there was a ironical twist to the tale. Turns out that most of these purchases were because ‘Ladke walon ne TV, AC, Mobile sab ek taraf rakhke woh solar panel maanga hai… Waise dekha jaaye toh sahi baat hai .… TV chalane ke liye bijlee hi nahi hogi toh TV ka kaa karenge….?’
And this is how a social devil called Dowry contributes to Energy Conservation and thus Save the World!
