mother back to you allowed her to study and suddenly what happened is my uncle he started beating me. it's just because a few. the love commandos saved seduce alone they called her family repeatedly threatening to go to the media if any harm came to her they didn't have any fear from posts but to begin to fear from media because they have a political background and a good image and a heart so they were like no we can't make this and so little girl. seemed to have returned home to persuade her family to let her marry. having fallen in love at university she hoped they would accept their relationship despite him being from a lower caste i was trying to convince them but suddenly one of my uncle. told me that that boy. so hey comes the thing he was like if even if

the love commandos help the couples realize their dreams of getting married yet. i mean they've been on the witness had been i guess but. once the couple's families discover they have run away they often try to find them and force them back so getting married gives the couple's legal security. and inevitably lead to the was a muslim and it got them was. that i was. on of the album was on. and this is the. middle of the. course i think that i then i.

started with the large part of what the they heard and the cost of love and. we've got to give them. and. over seventy percent of india's population live in rural areas where the caste system matters the most. governing this vast landscape are hundreds of powerful village councils. they are becoming increasingly for their brutal forms of

punishment and the sanctioning of. offer you one. hundred. twenty lend us a. lot of them. some use can buy them here and at the year mark taken. up any egypt will. give it. ecomog the senate nominate that's wishful that i meant by that hey wolf anybody

have a hot phatic up the last film it will school monica missing some us kim i didn't fund. some of the fan of i. just say that making you must go to hook up you've got them all kind of. back in delhi the love commandos phones are still ringing. not. not not i was going to. ask i'm angry i'm not. going to pay my internet any minting i'm not going and i'm in a corner and i'm tempted to come out when i'm going to. join i really wanna gotten it done right.

there i was. getting got very much like what activists here. they say death threats are just part of the job. there's only con i've done that they have the guy you have one of the local man without any warning. but it's. a law that's only limited or move on you're running the show again this is a middle dealing with this. stuff which is on the other the family any of. the games. it all again. of winning a little in the wind on the. weekend when the.

j.n.t. who just got married the day after they arrived in delhi. who just parents had arranged her marriage to someone else so are desperately trying to find her. and listen to this. a little bit just. tell. it like this is you don't want. to leave. her parents have discovered she is being protected by the love commandos and keep calling the hotline. here but if you got in from yonkers and you are. here give them their name when they get out of here but you're one hundred nineteen and i think you know.

i don't hear from me i'm. very very very sorry. if you want. but i don't know. jayenge says the love commandos were the only people they could turn to for help to be put on a student bodies who knew you. didn't wish when it. was just wish you were good in your life we need to make a move to see you. it's a good season. sanjay fears pujas parents will now come to the shelter and try to force her to return home. with me and.

i. think. india already has the largest number of young people in the world. as their numbers increase so do their voices and they don't just want love. they're demanding freedom from oppression. of. women. that is if you. like. but with hindu fundamentalism on the rise and heavy moral policing there is still a long way to go before they will be allowed to even kiss in public.

but as you can imagine mother the son of the family government then it funded them them going to just put it beyond the family with young americans. today is sanjay's birthday another year spent helping desperate couples. but it costs the love commandos dearly hope the orders from the jail where you'd like to live they get that. down the years that i look up and they get you on the put boat is big enough what it. them up on the. football that the number that they've been listening to tell you that number doesn't do well. but money worries and death

threats can stop their passion to help goals in large. cities. because love is on display in this slow. justice society. and it will be monitored by. the celebrations over it's back to work pujas family have not yet found a shelter but they're keeping up the pressure. what are you all about. what about it one hundred. and others are like you're not going to we're going to give them the most i read

about what they're going to murder and we're going to then if they're going to die like we're going to do i remember her father says because she didn't go through with the arranged marriage she will have to repay the dow remember anything other than what i make may take me to one of the places this for just enough to get one with the dealers out of the price to pay you back and he gets he's given up for a good enough in my mind is on the side of us but some of the ones that he gets because our little. tutors are going to go there. they're us with the five c.d.'s of em why we did you know cause we need money and eight minute aikman is me when i started to want to be is not maybe getting out of line to get ideas where that would be cause everything was a bit of a favorite case and i didn't want to but i just. i think we're there's one other thing is that i'm going to do with what i look at. what about is what i.

was doing was going to move. you believe by proxy. their future is unclear but pooja enter new husband jr we don't have any regrets till miller has gotten he gave a movie i. put that on there had a little bit when i said. no commando i just thank you meghan so forget about me and. good to us because of these words that is because i've decided to doand let me see because. thirty percent of marriages in india today are love marriages. if young people continue to choose their own partners there's a chance that the country might one day become the caste with society the love commandos dreamers giunta in the country especially boldly love. their wives is a big issue of cost for spam and illegitimate damages got fed up with it.

and the new generation has moved toward the nonconstructive. especially when love commandos is spending with. my little i also believe that the us get other. leg am i that i'm going to. give you all i know i might have lived with for years i'm buzz it will only have when was where near i'm in love gone under good it's doing many embassy boulevard. painting. still on the glue is gone which can. was very well really dark energy but i have grown just to keep my eyes to what i
