VEDIC FEMALE INFANTICIDE (Genocide of Women in Hinduism)

[Guest guest]

There is a book called "Virtue, Success, Pleasure, and Liberation: The Four

Aims of Life in the Tradition of Ancient India" where the author Alain

Daneilou tries to argue (unconvincingly) in favor of female infanticide

(pages 97-98). He lived in India for something like 20 years and converted

to Hinduism. However, he did write a great scholarly book on the gods and

goddesses of India ("The Myths and Gods of India") and very complete

translation of the sex sutras ("The Complete Kama Sutra: The First Unabridged

Modern Translation of the Classic Indian Text by Vatsyayana" including the

Jayamangala commentary from the Sanskrit by Yashodhara and extracts from the

Hindi commentary by Devadatta Shastra). ==- Jai Ma=-=- Nick
