As we know, this attidue will not fly well in the modern world, regardless of "justifications" about India's socio-economic condition.

I have stated several times that I am not a member of the Hare Krishna (ISKCON) movement. I am a Gaudiya Vaishnava, however, and there is no "degradation of women" in Gaudiya Vaishnavism.

One would naturally assume that since Sanjay is critiquing Sathya Sai Baba, Sanjay would have a more moral and common-sense view regarding women and their place in society. Or so one would think....

But then of course, I understand why Moreno feels the NEED to portray me in such a way. It suits his need to malign me. :-) Unfortunately it doesn't work since this is board is meant to discuss Sathya Sai Baba and not Sanjay Dadlani. So much for the ad-hominem way of doing things. :-)
