[Reader-list] WHO WILL PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF INDIAN MUSLIM WOMEN??

[S Datta]

the original message from vedavati jogi (waise, kya hardcore naam hai!)
doesn't seem worth responding to, but sometimes it's fun to (not)  let
sleeping dogs lie.

maybe ( i speak, before everyone decides to pounce on me, with jihva
(since we're being all hindu here) firmly planted in cheek (for which the
sanskrit word eludes me), but only just) we could pack her off to a
mythical hindu paradise where she could commit sati, or live an
abstemitious life draped in white, or be regarded as unclean during her
period? just a few options. she certainly would not be able to access
email (or perhaps even be able to read/write)  in said place, so we'd
be spared her moronic emails.

hopefully she'll send another one out after this, fuming and all.
amusement is always good.
