Gender treatment in Hindu sects
Even after some of the most impressive reforms by Swami Dayanand Saraswati and others in the 19th and 20th centuries, sects like Swaminarayan and even the Sankaracharya of Kanchi hold some of the most backward notions about gender equality in the 21st century. A very sad story indeed.
