Was watching a clip where a woman spoke that a child "deserves to have a different father, a sugar daddy, if he isn't satisfied with the current one." This too might get acceptance in the equality circles given the current scenario.

Took a flat in Delhi where you have to switch on water pumps at 3AM (which continues to fill for an hour) and then the supply goes at around 4, or otherwise perish without even a single drop of it for 2days. Here I am awaken up at 3 to switch on pumps.
.....
The supply comes for a day that too from 3-4AM, and then comes again after 1 day, and thereafter again after 2 days.
This just naturally feels absurd to someone who has never confronted such situations (a resident of eastern Bharat).

Progressivism if at all, should come taking along the ritualistic practices. Today, things antithetical to societal norms and scriptural basis are lauded as modernity, and subsequently, 'unnati'. Apart from the ingrained colonial servitude evident here, we need to look within.
This comes from ignorance and an already accepted (submission) belief that rituals lack logic and they need be 'altered' by anyone as per occasional whims.
As @RahulEaswar had mentioned, this needs to be tackled by weekly satsangs and likely things.There's (maybe) no other way.

Prafulla Chandra Roy, the father of chemical science in Bharat, argues that Europeans tended to shift every achievement of Bharat to the west. This was in effort to "avoid the establishment of originality of Hindus" and thereby, "not compromise with the Greeks."
Thereby, despite multiple evidences from the Rgveda, Atharva Veda, and early Buddhist literature,"Haas is anxious to prove that the Hindus borrowed theri notions of humoral pathology from the Greeks & originerd of Ind Med are to be looked in the writings of Galen and Hippocrates.

Rabindranath Thakur on Bharat in his essay 'The History Of Bharatvarsha':
"Our real ties are with the Bharatvarsha that lies outside our textbooks. If the history of this tie for a substantially long period gets lost, our soul loses its anchorage. After all, we are no weeds.....
or parasitical plants in India. Over many hundreds of years, it's our roots, hundreds and thousands of them, that have occupied the very heart of Bharatvarsha. But unfortunately, we are obliged to learn a brand of history that makes our children forget this very fact......

Do not support the fakery regarding bookshelf. But we need to think beyond that, in actions, in policies. Let her whatever she wants in her private life. But who cares to analyse policies!
Also, there are certain sections who fail intent/unintentionally to see through words.
****Let her read/do anything in pvt life until it doesn't harm anyone.
We need to develop critical thinking skills (try to see through words at the actions at least), else no party will wish to save Bharat from any kind of tragedy.
Let's wake up.

No more crushing blows have ever been struck at the roots of Indian National evolution than those which have been struck, often with other, and the best intentions, in the name of Education... The most crushing dictment of this Education is the fact that it destroys........(1/n)
In the great majority of those upon whom it is inflicted, all capacity for the appreciation of Indian culture. The ordinary graduate of an University... is indeed a stranger in his own land."

You can feel the onslaught.
Had he criticised other contemporary religions the same way, he would possibly be killed rather than him succumbing to his disease.
Derozio is hailed as an epitome of instilling rationalist ideas among the Bengalis. 1/n
For those who might not be knowing, he belonged to Christian parents, a Portuguese (Indian based on nativeness) man, Francis Derozio and Sophia Johnson, of British origin.
