I do know there are instances that are written in favor of women, and its not only in India, in other countries too. I have highlighted the fact in bold toward the end. look at the last para. My goal was to concentrate on the history aspect of the Hindu code of conduct. I will have to dig into all religions to actually highlight the pros and cons, but that was not the intention. I am Christian and the wjole old testament is anti women, then came new testament and they tried to rub off what was written in the old, but no one can erase thw written word or what has already been embedded in the minds of the people. Thanks for reading.
