Menstrual taboos are one such issue that has been exaggeratedly linked to Hindu Dharma. This forceful correlation established between the existence of menstrual taboos in Bharatiya society and the tenets of Hindu Dharma makes no sense and evades logic. You routinely get to see such articles where Hindu Dharma is said to consider menstruating women impure and dirty. https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/menstruating-women-cooking-food-for-husbands-will-be-reborn-as-dogs-says/article30852624.eceAn article published recently by CBC News Canada also perpetuates the stereotype of Hindu Dharma propagating menstrual taboos. It’s high time woke media gets this point and stops portraying Hindu Dharma as some kind of originator of all menstrual taboos.
