India priests step on women for fertility

I understand your POV. However in certain cases it is difficult to draw a line between what is culture and what is exploitation. In this case for example, we cannot say for sure how many women are here because of free will. It is possible that they don't care about bearing a child in the first place, or if they do, they don't want to be a part of this ritual. There could be various reasons for participating in it - Coercion, emotional blackmail, imposed shame for not being fertile, or indeed free will. Are we trying to pretend that all these are impossible reasons and that women can act 100% of their free will? I cannot bring myself to believe that all is hunky dory and 'sab maje mein hain'. People tolerate lot of stuff for various sakes. Doesn't make it right.

This is not just about women either. Poor children work when they should be studying. Maybe no one has explicitly forced them to work. Doesn't make it right. That is why we had mid day meal scheme to incentivise children to attend school. There is no shame in acknowledging a problem. However those who benefit most from the status quo have little reason to challenge it.
Sure, there might be instances of some women from that group who are not there of their own volition, or all 100% of them might be there of their free will... impossible to say either way.. but more importantly, how is that any of your business ?

I mean you could walk into any super fancy rich people gathering and hypothesize just the same.. Gucci ki ghadi, Louis Vuitton ka purse, Hermes ka shawl, chauffeured in in a fancy *** big league German car but there's sexual exploitation and general unhappy marriage things going on... how is that anyone's business ?

about this temple fertility ritual thing.. it's obviously a local thing that is unique to some random place where people go and do this shit.. who cares ?

let them be, even if they're doing retarded things.. it's not being forced upon you

lol all you want but end of the day if they're not harming you in any way, shape or form.. let them be ?

How shameful that this forum that doesn't allow religious discussion and bans members promptly if they say anything against Islam , allows insult to Hinduism on a daily basis.


Someone makes a thread about "Hindu women" getting "raped" by Priests and the orthodox members jump on the bandwagon.


Have you guys got guts to comment on news of mosque rapes of children ?

Care to talk about why only Muslims blow themselves up ?

Or how Chinese eat dogs ?


Nah. That will get the moderator's panties in twist.

Mocking Hinduism is cool here but say a thing about Islam or the Dog Eaters and you are banned.

Yes, this was last year I think. A Pakistani member, @User, seems to have countered the sister on Twitter ( when that account wasn't banned yet ) on a particular issue and this member somehow connected the sister to Andhadhun.

Follow back this post.

bad solutions, you mean

or

solutions without the means to implement them

we here in India aren't sitting on gazzilions of tonnes of light sweet crude, or any crude.. no we can not give everyone everything for free, sorry.

1. As one example, as of 2019 I think, 21 of the 30 most polluted cities in the world are in India. And India is among the three top polluters in the world, the other two being China and USA. What is the quality of life in India ? Is all this required ? Can it not be avoided by doing some simple changes to Indian society ?

2. If India doesn't have light sweet crude it still has mined minerals, agri products, finished products and human services. A simple googling outputs this :
Real GDP or Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at Constant (2011-12) Prices in the year 2020-21 is now estimated to attain a level of ₹135.13 lakh crore, as against the First Revised Estimate of GDP for the year 2019-20 of ₹145.69 lakh crore, released on 29th January 2021.31-May-2021
I didn't bother to convert how many billions that is but seems enough to do lot of simplifying and harmony-bringing things.

weren't you arguing in a thread a while back that some kid with a rare disease should have been given a jab that costs millions of dollars for free ? :crazy:

no point arguing with you on these things though, sigh.

And India let that infant and another such infant die because of miserliness and apathy. Can anyone argue with me on this ?

And I don't expect you to understand.
Well, I am not the kook. Science and non Scientific belief shouldn't be equated. From a scientific point of view it certainly doesn't enhance fertility. Superstition or religious belief is different matter.

We are letting them be. What is so bad about verbal condemnation by keyboard warriors like us? It is the rationalists whom people don't let be and the rationalists who get killed. It was another Indian who made personal attacks against me and called me by a half a thesaurus full of adjectives when all I did was condemn a practice and not him personally. Even then I did not respond with personal insults. It is clear who is letting whom be.

Anyways, we will just have to agree to disagree on other points.

he was just making a joke

relax

Indos is a good man

why is everyone so crazy all the time ? fuk...

Is that so ? then relax, I too am a good man and was making a joke too.

So why are you speaking for him ? You his spokesperson now ? I am pretty sure he can speak for himself.

You are "letting them be" ? oh how mighty GENEROUS of you.

I was not aware we mere mortals lived by your generosity. Thank you for reminding us.

Oh I see.

So now Religion, Faith and belief has to be viewed through the lens of "science".

That sound very "scientific" and "rational' of you. LOL.

If you bothered to check, it was a response to another post, where the writer said 'let them be' and the 'let them be' was an important part of the discussion, so I thought it appropriate to carry forward the same words.

No one is living by anyone's generosity in this world. I have no such illusions. Thank you

How predictable. Chinese boasting of white man's approval and asking us to do that same. :lol:
It is not the recognition of whites, but the recognition of modern society. It is not only recognized by European and American countries, but also a popular medical skill in East Asian (yellow) society. Of course, we don't want the recognition of Indian Brown people.

it's a pointless waste of anger to lash out at people who are not out to needle you in ways malevolent.

I am religious and also rational. I understand what is science and what isn't. From a scientific point of view there is no possibility of enhancing fertility by walking on women's back. Heard of medical doctors advising it?
