I've been reading some postings here about religion and wanted to write my views on hinduism. Hinduism is a very sexist religion. A woman's place seems to be at a man's feet. Most hindu religious practice blatantly put a woman's place like a man's slave. A wife is supposed to bow to her husband's feet every day. In some cultures even drink the water off the man's feet. They even wanted widows to burn in funeral pyres. Although hinduism teaches some good points about family life, it scorns and condemns the women as a man's slave and that's what I don't like about hinduism.

Nilasha, I agree with much of what you have written. But us sisters need to talk about the solution also. We can't always just keep complaining about the problem and expect the men to solve all of the problems. This is disempowering to the women. Instead, we need to figure out the solution and then tell them how to act and what they should do. But few women take the time to see what the solution should be. Women like you and I need to step forward. There is a whole other generation of Western educated Nepali women like us that can make a difference. The traditional minded Nepali men might not like that. Oh, well, you can't make all people happy all the time. Right?
