What Jimmy Carter said

This is not exactly that recent, and Jimmy Carter is certainly not much of a heavyweight in world affairs or the kind of person who can create a groundswell of opinions -- at least in comparison to serving US presidents, but it still makes for good and thought-provoking reading.

Truth be told, all religions discriminate against women and Hinduism also doesn't really score very high when it comes to being "equal opportunity". Which is a bit surprising considering that there are so many Goddesses in the Hindu pantheon and the "Mother Cult" is an intrinsic part of the Hindu faith and way of life.

Truth also be told, Hinduism has been crying out for reform (and renewal) for ages now and Hinduism can do with some women Shankaracharyas as well...

Meanwhile, what Jimmy Carter said.
