Sure, so what is your point exactly? That local customs trump women’s right to be treated as humans? Really, please look into the practices and then tell me you

Sure, so what is your point exactly? That local customs trump women’s right to be treated as humans? Really, please look into the practices and then tell me you could ever want that for another person. By that logic Hindus should still encourage/force widows to burn at the pyre with their dead husbands. It was truly disgusting to see the entire left lobby, the self proclaimed champions for human rights shamelessly protesting the repeal of triple talaq.

You seem to be conflating the issue back to the usual axis of islamaphobia. So why aren’t marital rape laws not enacted in India? Or for that matter how come there was such a furor when the court decided that all Hindu pilgrims regardless of gender could visit Sabarimala? Do note - the vast majority of Indian laws have moved progressively despite political pressures. The divorce laws in India were regularly opposed by political parties for example - including the BJP. Any progressive movement in laws have been by your vilified liberals. The only reason triple talaq is on the BJP radar is because it dovetails with their happy topic of islam bashing. > https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/bjp-leaders-express-displeasure-over-supreme-court-ruling-on-sabarimala-1370938-2018-10-19 https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/bjp-leaders-express-di... Laws in America and the west did not recognize gay marriage, until the idea carried enough cultural weight for it to be enacted. India on the other hand, is a combination of modernity and medievalism (gotra). The progressive work in our courts and laws is precisely because Ambedkar and a slew of people fought for it. Otherwise our laws would be far more basic than you would like to believe. In this government we already instituted laws to persecute minorities. Imagine where we would be if it weren’t for the years of work by your hated “liberals”.

  So let’s campaign for those? Let’s try to change those policies? Why should we go back on a good step to keep everybody in a shit place?
