Reply #71: Wiki is as much a trusted source as those links you put up

[smitra]

And the fact that the Wiki link I told you talked of ordinary women becoming pilots and Lt. Gens in the army meant nothing to you, right? The fact that a so-called Untouchable woman is now the head of the state govt. in the biggest state in the country means nothing, right? It is all in the class of Elizabeth I and Catherine the Great.

Freedom of any sort is enjoyed only by the women in the aristocracy in India? That idea is so LAUGHABLE to someone who was born there and lived there for 23 years that the only conclusion one can draw about the person who puts forth such claims on the basis of a few links is that the poster is prejudiced.

And yes, while Wikipedia is not an authoritative source, the article I posted does a balanced treatment of the subject, as should have been obvious to anyone with even the minutest capability of analytical thought. Obviously, your prejudices have hidden any analytical skills you may have had.

The response to your first post on the thread was certainly well deserved.
