Dear Roshni,
I am surprised that you took my post as personal attack on me. The BABA reference if you read carefully is directed at people at large who are appreciating Baba's efforts and not at you at all. At least this was not my intention.
Of course, you did not insult women, I never meant it. Please read it again. It is said in the context, the modus operandi of getting women married off by begging--it is an insult to women and womanhood, not by you and perhaps Baba also did not do what actually he is doing, but it still remains an insult--the very act of begging for marrying daughters and sisters off.
So please remove this impression that I am out to personally attack you. I will never do it. You and me and others are discussing issues and expressing opinions, we may agree on so many things, we may not agree on some or many issues--but personal respect for each other what keeps us in interaction with one another.
However, my apologies if something in my reply gave you the impression and thereby hurt you, without myself intending it, that my posting was a personal reply to you. In some past thread also I have written about the discrimination a girl child faces in her own home in terms of making her own choices, property rights and having full agency( decision making power) of her life....do read my reply in the same light.
Had I not respected your feelings, I would not have spend time to explain myself...so please take it as a sincere explanation from me..
Cheers
