Irrelvant to the topic

Rahber Raja in one of the earlier comments has posted the following evils of Hindu society..
he said..

It is a shame that an attack against Islam is being waged by Hindus when for millenniums, Hinduism is the most oppressive system on record in its treatment of women. From conception to death, woman had to suffer in uncountable ways (details after the basic section) :

Child Marriage - Girls are to be married when 5 years old !
Dowry - Vedas prescribe this pracitice
Bride-Burning - if the dowry is insufficient
No Property
Mass Wife-Burning (Jauhar) - Often 100s are burnt at a time.
Widow-Burning (Sati) - Sanctioned by the Vedas, Puranas, practiced by Krishna%u2019s wives, it still continues.

I don't know how much Vedas you have read to make those comments but I know one thing that all of the above evils of society has vanished over the last century..We have made laws to curb those..and the change is rapidly happening as of today...But did you have any change in your society since it was born..thousands of year back..Do you even discuss the change and the evils of your society? And if someone does that he gets a fatwa..Can you give me a time line when you think Islam will allow women to not wear burkha and when this fatwa system wil go? Also, when you'll guys will put law of land before religious laws?
