Dear JGN, I think you are talking ahead of time. What you are saying sounds theorotically correct but is very difficult to make understand to the common people & religious leaders. Perhaps you can think like this because you might have grown up in the free enviornment. But though I have grown-up in an educated family, what I am seeing since my childhood is a very strong grip of the religion over the society. I think in all the religions the most opressed class is the female. Unless girls & women in the society are educated, it will not be possible to release the grip of the religion over the society. I still wonder why all religions have been founded by men only! No religion is talking about equal status of male & female. Indian constitution is superior to all religions in this aspect.
