Guest guest Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Dear Sister Usha (are you a nun?) Hindus in general may not conduct large charities (yet – I am personally working in that direction), but they have never committed genocide or persecution against anyone. And the same thing can be said about Pagans. On the other hand, it was Muslims and Christians who brought casteism and mistreatment of women into India. In Puranas, Upanishads etc there are heaps of stories about people who changed their caste very easily, and about the respect for women.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 This is important information, very similar to what was being done in South American also. Do you have the name of the book or article it comes from? -- Max Dashu Suppressed Histories Archives Global Women's History http://www.suppressedhistories.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
