Even if we turn a blind eye to all of this, the atheists and anti hindus will read it out loud to our children few generations down the line. Going around with notion that any form of discrimination is evil, they will have no defense and will lose faith.
I am not advocating for reestablishing our Puranic society in any way. But atleast let us faciliate for the future generations to be able to read our Puranas with ease and continue on with their spirituality. Let not woman suppression be hurled on the ancient men who would lower their bow and voice seeing a woman.
Your worry is not unfounded nor those who argue against varna( even though misguided) are not wrong to raise their voice, after all we all Hindus have respect for our Dharma in our own way.
There is different world view out there, there is no place for crusade rightly so just as Lord Krishna having instructed Arjun he leaves it for him to make his choice.
Seems Brits are at it again, divide and rule, why bring caste into an equality law what is their purpose, is there a caste discrimination in UK ?
You talk about future generation well let me ask you what kind of respect do we hold for our ancestors, did they give in to equality did they give up their choice of Varna?
No instead they chose to die, there were piles of sacred thread they prefer to die then to convert. Both this so called religion would have given us the opportunity to Be equal in their myopic view, yet they chose otherwise why?
Because they knew, Vivek (discrimination ) in the Puranas and ithihas are source of harmony in this unequal world, there is no democracy on earth that is on par with our dharma and shastra.
In the name of equality are we going to question the ethics of Bhismapita not wanting to kill a woman did he not know Maa Kali is a woman? Or do we see in our tradition,the morality of man, not wanting to fight a woman!
Shree Krishna also address your worry he says;
The wise should not unsettle the mind of the ignorant who is attached to the fruits of work, but the enlightened one should inspire others by performing all works efficiently without attachment. (3.26)
Jai Shree Krishna
Rig Veda list only 33 devas, they are all propitiated, worthy off our worship, all other names of gods are derivative from this 33 originals,
Bhagvat Gita; Shree Krishna says Chapter 3.11 devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah parasparam bhavayantah sreyah param avapsyatha Chapter 17.4 yajante sattvika devan yaksa-raksamsi rajasah pretan bhuta-ganams canye yajante tamasa janah
The world disappears in him. He is the peaceful, the good, the one without a second.
