At least Canadian isn’t based on a state-sponsored religion which encourages rape and violent subjugation of women.
And before anyone tries to ban me, please go examine Hindu religious texts and wider Indian male predilections.
Wonder how their indigenous peoples feel about that.
Funny enough, hindus are not indigenus to india. they came here during aryan migrations, the real indigenus people are dravidians.
I don't think indigenous has particular meaning after four thousand years.
Being if dravidian descent, like most of south India, they definitely identify as Hindu and have the same range of fervor from barely religious up to religious nationalist as the rest of India.
Hinduism amalgamated a lot of local religions and philosophies as well, so proto Hindu beliefs and traditions are also part of modern Hinduism.
Yeah, European colonists were real shits, I agree.
Can you give more details please? Is it as bad as Islam?
I didn't read all of the articles, but the last one is local folklore. You can find stories about succubi or other framing of women as people who weaponise sex in a lot of cultures, it's not something unique to local Indian folklore.
The second to last was basically saying that patriarchal values are encoded into religion and used to enforce a patriarchal hierarchy which is true with every religion that is practiced in a patriarchal society. Also, do not understand how they included Draupadhi's SA as an example of something pro rape. That whole incident was perpetrated by the story antagonists and is framed as something so bad a god intervened on her behai to protect her.
People talk about rape culture and patriarchy in the US, but I can see it far more clearly here. Goddam.
