I was born in a highly religious family. Prayers and fasts were parts of our daily life. Everybody used to pray and read holy books everyday n night. But soon I realised that my mother was exempted from praying for 4 – 5 days every month or so. She was also privileged to leave fasts in those days while everybody else was fasting. After few years I observed that she was actually not exempted but barred, and also she was barred from touching holy books or visiting shrines in those days.
With time and with more intelligence in my head, or I must correct that with more intelligence in my friends’ heads as they were the source of all these information, I got to know that not only my mother, but most of the women were barred from holy duties as those were ‘dirty’ in those days.
More knowledge I gained – they discharge dirty blood from their bodies thus they become filthy and untouchable in those days and we must stay away from them in those days.
More knowledge with time – when they become pregnant, this discharge stops as that blood is used in the formation of child’s body. That blood starts running in the child’s veins.
The final outcome – that I know now that the same blood is running in me. If that blood makes a woman dirty and untouchable, I am an untouchable by birth. Please stay away from I.....

This is entirely my personal opinion about myself. I am not talking about anybody else in particular or in general. Thank you.
