Show HN: Created an "Indian Dowry Calculator", Calculate How Much You're Worth?

Hello everyone,

Recently, I created a fun little website: the Indian Dowry Calculator.

Based on your age, occupation, skin color, caste, etc., calculate how much dowry you can get in the Indian marriage market. The results might surprise you.

Of course, this is just a satirical project, aiming to make more people pay attention to the deeply - rooted dowry problem in India. I hope you all have fun while also doing some thinking.

Welcome to give it a try and see your "worth": [https://dahejcalc.in](https://dahejcalc.in)
