Unmarried rural youth in Maharashtra plan stir demanding help finding brides

Unmarried young men in rural Maharashtra are planning a statewide agitation seeking government help to find brides. Led by Solapur's Kisan Nanaware, 28, who staged a dharna at the collector's office in September, they want an all-religion marriage bureau under the Social Welfare Department, direct financial aid, steady rural jobs and fair prices for farm produce.
