My ancestors have passed me down 0.00 acres of land. I live in a rented house.

How typical,” another noted. “According to the Manusmruti, girls should stay at home all the time , take care of their husbands , and do nothing else.

Dr Ambedkar (both for the constitution and the Hindu code bill) and a series of other progressive voices for decades,” another said in agreement.
