Right on the first two counts! It needed the British for us to get rid of practices like Sati and cults like Thuggees. Our own social reformers were usually treated like Mr Dabholkar(the trend continues).
But who're you to talk about all this, you pseudo-secular NRI ?
In kerala hundreds of Women are forced o remain unmarried due to astrology. If they have 'chova dosham' they are believed to bring bad luck to their Husbands.
Whilst I lived in Kerala, a laborer, who was a neighbour of mine who lived in a shack with his mother, wife, sister in law, her husband and their two children, spent Rs. 25,000 in getting a Pooja done by a priest.
Never mind the fact that it was his wages for possibly another 4 months.
Ob by the way these same hindutvavaadis don't mind if the criticism is directed against Muslims or Christians.
