Aryan men had the right to cut off their wives’ ears and noses if
they left their houses without the permission of their husbands.

This practice still continues in less developed parts of India. 43
-Irrespective of their caste, all women are prohibited from reading
the major part of educational textbooks. Women are also prohibit-
ed from reading or learning the Hindu scriptures, the Vedas in par-
ticular.
-The drahoma, or dowry received by men is another example of
cruelty. This practice was outlawed in 1961 but is still a common

practice in India. What makes it so significant is the fact that it is
used to oppress, hurt and violate women. During the marriage cer-
emony the bride’s family pay the groom’s family a huge sum of
money and even after marriage, the groom’s family will continue to
demand money or property and often resort to violence in order to
obtain it. Some men seek to remarry in order to receive another dra-
homa and burn their young wives to death for this purpose. These
killings are covered up as suicides or accidents, which explains the
exceedingly high rate of accidental deaths in households. 44
In India, families that have girls, live in gloom because of the

Drahoma, they have to give, as well as turning a blind eye to their
daughter’s treatment. The possibility of determining the sex of the
child during pregnancy, forces the anxious people to unspeakable
barbarism. The Times of India newspaper printed articles to the ef-
fect that pre natal tests are increasingly accurate, bringing in its
wake rising numbers of abortions. The same year, research con-
ducted in Bombay revealed that out of 8000 abortions, carried out
45
after such tests, all aborted fetuses were female except one. The
new centre for eugenics, a “science” developed by Darwinist theo-
rists and cruelly implemented in Nazi Germany, is India.
