......The fourth line has to be interpreted in conformity with the theme of 
the first three. It might mean something like: “Thus, women are not really 
fully free/independent at any time and need support and
protection from others. That is OK.

I am sorry but i do find that rather hypocritical. To interpret one line of 
a sloka you seek shelter of teh other three. Many a time people have pulled 
out a single Sura from teh Quran and have beaten it to death.

Well whether you have done it or another is immaterial. It has happened on 
this forum and all who subscribe are guilty

I think we have dragged this to death and back, the one thing I would say is 
it matters not what religion we come from, what faith we have whether we 
believe in God at all, our women - Indian women - enjoy far less freedom, 
respect and rights than the male and that is shameful.

The only difference in teh way Islam and Hinduism treat their women is one 
has a book with a written code and teh others have it etched in tehir mind

Freedom will come only with a better understanding of teh value of 
education, like Kerala.

Until the day that a woman is able to choose what she would like to do wish 
to do we will just have to hang our heads in shame.
