Deepa Mehta’s film ‘WATER’ starts with the mention of text from the ‘Manusmriti’ which is slightly edited.
Today on the ‘Women’s Day’ I had an informal chat with an upcoming Marxist-Feminist activist. In the small little chat she was expressing her frustration against Indian culture as she felt that it is unfair to women and her descent disapproval of Hinduism in context of women could not be ignored by me.
Manusmriti was written in 200 BC when people preferred to count the years backwards and when many civilizations around the world weren’t even born. The intriguing part of our great Indian feminists is their strict reference to the negatives of Manusmriti towards women and constantly trying to snub the good parts of Manusmriti towards women.
For decades Women under the name of Feminism have deceived their real cause for emancipation and will continue to do it. Even philosophers have been consciously misinterpreted to suit the assertive statements of Feminists. Friedrich Nietzsche, the great 19th century philosopher, who still attracts the 21st century folks, was also misinterpreted for his views on women. The problem with Nietzsche’s philosophy is his blunt frankness which makes people hard to comprehend the real meaning behind his thoughts on women, his references towards women are often funny, sarcastic and also stunning.
Nietzsche in his masterpiece ‘Beyond Good and Evil’ starts with
It can be quite possible that the hatred towards Nietzsche by Marxists-Feminists is due his love and admiration for Manu Smrithi and Upanishads.
Ayn Rand, perhaps one of the rare species of women which many of our feminists try to bash for her Anti-Feminist views has been deliberately misunderstood as the time in which she gained popularity for her works coincided with the feminist uprising. She was verbally attacked by feminists in reference to her novel ‘The Fountainhead’ where Dominique Francon was raped(According to our great Feminists) and her views on a women sitting in the White House. Strangely, the same feminists who are critique of Ayn Rand’s works do not respond when referred to works of Nobel laureate ‘Rabindranth Tagore'.
The imprudent philosophy called Marxism was not inclined to Feminism in the early stages, but later as time passed and the evil of Marxism has spread to considerable parts of this globe it evolved to be a manufacturing factory of Women-less souls. Women, who felt that their gender has been strangled by Men got infatuated to the baseless theory of ‘Equality’ by Karl Marx and thus led to the destruction of the real causes.
Recently a small incident narrated by a friend just refreshed my gray cells, he told the religious conversions happening in his village.
Targetting women for religious conversion is a clever idea and can be a good case study for Harvard University. Coming to the point, women has been seen as a inferior in the religion which the above conversionist was referring but does one know about the harassements and humiliation which women faced in other religions?. The amount of freedom which Hinduism offers to living being cannot be equated to any religion and the core essence of Hindusim is the development of an individual. Like the words ‘Secularism’ and ‘Liberalism’ even the word ‘Modernity’ is seriously molested. What is modernity? Just a FCUK T-Shirt or a Levis Jeans or a Fastrack Sunglass or visiting 21+ Pubs define the modernity of Indian women?
On this women’s day I spotted a interesting situation, the female colleagues in our office celebrated Women’s Day-- female colleagues who usually wear Saris and chudidhars for office came in Jeans and who usally wear jeans and other western outfits came in Saris, this is a perfect snapshot of Feminism.
I don’t recommend Manusmriti, I don’t stop anyone from being converted to a different religion, I am not against women wearing any outfits, if men can enjoy alcohol so can women and I don’t force my opinion on others. Just one question to all women- What did you achieve in the name of ‘Feminism’.
Anyway. Happy Women’s Day. Even though, it doesn’t make any sense to me.
By violating her duty towards her husband, a wife is disgraced in this world, after death she enters the womb of a jackal, and is tormented by diseases of her sin.

Suppose that truth is a woman – and why not? Aren’t there reasons for suspecting that all philosophers, to the extent that they have been dogmatists, have not really understood women? That the grotesque seriousness of their approach towards the truth and the clumsy advances they have made so far are unsuitable ways of pressing their suit with a woman? What is certain is that she has spurned them – leaving dogmatism of all types standing sad and discouraged.

Women are asked to ditch their present religion and are advised to get converted as their religion provides freedom to women, unlike the other religion where women are subjected to harassment for centuries and does not allow modernity in women’s life.
