Bangles and braid twisters are being presented to the male counterparts by the female political workers to embarrass and mortify them.

These days, women political workers are often being found enchanting the slogan, ‘Agar Hain Majbooriyan… Pehno Kaanch ki chooriyan’ (If you have compulsions, wear glass bangles).

According to the regional customs and culture, the varicolored delicate and fragile bangles are women’s favorite ornament which she wears with proud and zeal but it becomes reason of humiliation and dishonor if being given to a man to wear them.
