Which community in Dehradun district opposed a Gram Sabha decision restricting women from wearing more than three gold jewellery items?
JaunsariWomen from the Jaunsari tribal community in the Jaunsar-Bawar region of Dehradun district voiced strong opposition to a Gram Sabha decision in Kandar and Idroli villages that limited women to wearing only three gold items—Mangalsutra, nose ring, and earrings—during weddings, with a ₹50,000 fine for violations. They argued that such restrictions infringe on personal choice and misrepresent the path to gender equality. Community members emphasized that gold serves as financial security in emergencies and criticized the one-sided focus on women while ignoring male-related issues like alcohol consumption. Activists and local leaders urged other panchayats not to replicate this rule, advocating instead for education and mutual respect as true foundations of equality.
