Acharya Prashant argues that much of what is currently defended as traditional Indian culture is actually a byproduct of foreign invasions and historical slavery. He points out that practices like the veil (ghunghat) and honor killings are not rooted in Vedic traditions but were adopted from Islamic invaders. He highlights that regions most affected by foreign invasions show the worst treatment of women, including female foeticide. He critiques the hypocrisy of those who quote scriptures about respecting women while domestic violence and dowry remain rampant in reality. He explains that invaders viewed women as property or 'spoils of war,' a regressive mindset that has unfortunately seeped into Indian society, leading to the objectification and suppression of women. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that true Indian culture, as seen in ancient texts and figures like Draupadi, was liberal and respectful toward women. He notes that India produced female leaders like Indira Gandhi long before many Western nations because a faint memory of female dignity still exists in the Indian psyche. However, he warns that modern media and consumerism continue to treat women as objects of consumption, which contradicts the Vedantic principle that life is for liberation, not indulgence. He asserts that men cannot be free if women remain enslaved, as their fates are interconnected. He urges people to prioritize the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita and Vedanta over regressive family traditions or 'grandfather's' customs. Finally, Acharya Prashant calls for a cultural evolution led by women. He rejects outdated practices like child marriage, Sati, and restrictions on women's education or healthcare as remnants of ignorance and poverty. He advocates for a new spiritual culture based on Vedantic values and higher principles rather than narrow-mindedness and historical baggage. He encourages a shift away from traditionalism toward a culture that seeks liberation for the consciousness, regardless of gender.
