Uttarakhand Village Limits Gold Jewellery for Social Equality
In a village in India, the people decided to make sure everyone feels equal.
They noticed that some people were getting into debt to buy gold jewelry.
To fix this, they made a rule that women should only wear a few simple pieces of gold jewelry at parties.
This is to stop people from feeling bad or unequal because of how much gold they have.
The villagers hope this will make everyone feel more connected and avoid money problems.
