Pandita Ramabai Sarasvati - Pioneer in the movement for the education of the child-widow of India
By Clementina Butler
Published by Fleming H. Revell Company, New York - 1922
People can be so cruel, they were just little girls.
Disgusting MALE made laws.
Shame on them....MEN...
Camellia, this was back in 1800s, show me one "child-widow" now.
Hemendra ji, there are still atrocities on little girls but at least now the society doesn't accept it so readily as it did then.
It's unimaginable at any time
I would like to know how this all came about? This was not Hindu tradition in all history until this time. Makes me sick and sad.
Ufffff...how sad ..
This is hinduism
This is your poor comprehension of Hinduism.
Seriously, ignorant people should shut up than blame it on religion.
we must read n know about d atrocities
