Whatever the status of women was, is subject to debate depending what eyes you are looking at, my problem is why just concentrate on Hindus, does Christianity or Islam afford equal status to women ? Do they highlight such issue with them, is it ok to bash Hindus but appease the rest.
We Hindus are supposed to honour nari, the highest status, all women are looked upon as either daughter sister (or wife if you married to one) or mother, manu smriti says
3.55. Women must be honoured and adorned by their fathers, brothers, husbands, and brothers-in-law, who desire (their own) welfare.
3.56. Where women are honoured, there the gods are pleased; but where they are not honoured, no sacred rite yields rewards.
Dharma is quite clear on this if men fails one can not blame dharma for it.
If anyone wants a proof that Varnashram is perfect or not should question wisdom of Krishna to establishing it. I would also ask what society is classless and devoid of exploitation?
Varnashram has nothing to do with that, when the head, hands , stomach and legs works in harmony the body is balanced and work perfectly similarly when society function in that manner then there is perfect harmony only this is Kali yug everyman for themselves, the jungle law.
EM is right the focus in the west from the onset has been to obscure SD, it is the biggest challenge for them in more ways then not.
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.
