Reply #59: A post by one person does not tell you the WHOLE SITUATION...

[smitra]

The links you posted (and the one source from boloji.com you quoted) hardly tell you the whole truth. Like another poster on this thread, you selectively quote from sources that do not tell you the whole truth, but only pander to your pre-conceived biases and prejudices.

For starters, improve your reading, and get to this article on Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_India

FYI, India had a woman as its Prime Minister way back in 1966 (compare that to the US where in 2008 a lot of people were asking if it was ready for a woman as head of Govt.). The current constitutional head of state in India (the President) is a woman. Women have been judges in the Supreme Court, police officers, etc., and have fought for women's rights in a big way and continue to do so (Google 'Kiran Bedi').

At the VERY LEAST, this should make you THINK about the statement you made a few posts ago, and I quote you: '... there is talk of taking away ALL RIGHTS for women in India...'. To anyone with half a brain, it should be obvious that a country with a woman PRESIDENT could hardly be thinking of doing something on those lines through the political system.
