I completely agree. This "tradition" bullshit is too much and
questioning it is a big taboo. Isolated pockets such as this mailing
list cannot change this sickness. And this cancer is so big, it needs
organized effort to eradicate. People have been trying since centuries
(Raja Ram Mohan Roy, for instance) to fight this and have failed. How
about putting together something collectively to fix this?
