O Universal God, please lead us from untruth to truth, from darkness to light, from death to immortality, OM let there be Peace, Peace, and Peace” said my Vedic ancestors 5000 years ago in Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (1.3.28). *** Excerpts “A rebuttal to Abul Kasem – Women in Hinduism” by Raju Maliger *** Without further ado, below are excerpts from Raju Maliger’s essay. The rebuttal is well-referenced and will be invaluable in countering mis-conceptions and distortions that are peddled under the garb of “Hindu” religious practices or vedic references. I would put this essay by Sh Maliger in the category of *Must read*. While I was still trying to compile references and source material to refute the claims made in the article, Parama Karuna-ji introduced me to Raju Maliger who forwarded me his rebuttal to Abul Kasem. I was first alerted to it a few weeks ago by Jagmohan. Some of you may have come across an article on Islam-watch recently that contained several derogatory references – supposedly from vedic texts – towards women and their position in ancient Hindu society.
