Only those who have lived in India know with certainty what life is like there, and I realize you are reporting from your perceived experiences. I believe that many women — some knowingly, and some unknowingly — sabotage the rights of themselves and other women. But, I also believe that women are not the only culprits today, as many men also still speak against womens' rights. In my thinking, some women AND some men are culpable for the state of things today — no single gender, religion, or culture shoulders the blame alone.
I applauded your writing in my earlier comment because it certainly gives us things to consider, whether one subscribes to those beliefs in the end, or not. But, I definitely believe that your idea holds some merit, no doubt. It is ONLY by considering other viewpoints in a serious manner that we learn and grow as human beings. To do otherwise is to become stagnant in our thinking and that stifles growth. Namaste!
