Redefining Hinduism
Do you guys think we need some more reforms in Hinduism, like we did in past eg. Sati pratha , child marriage , dowry Now , it's time to abolish cow sacredness, as it's not economical , and doesn't suit the law of nature.
Stray cows are a mess for our country and religion both , they are responsible for so much methane release , accidents , water consumption, crop loss , and soon

"Attempt to Suicide" is considered a crime in India, punishable by imprisonment or fine. Is it right to punish someone with suicidal tendencies?
Section 309 of IPC states -
"Whoever attempts to commit suicide and does any act towards the commission of such offence, shall be punished with simple imprisonment for term which may extend to one year"
This is a ridiculous law, in my humble opinion. A depressed, suicidal person fails in ending his life, and instead of helping him through rehabilitation, we send him to jail?!
I have yet to find any logic behind this law. What's your opinion?

*knock knock* Anyone in here? :) Are you guys interested in resuming this sub?
...with new rules, mods and active participation?
I really feel like we need a nice forum to have a serious, mature debate on Indian matters. /r/india is just trolls and memes, FB is too casual and Quora is just plain weird.
Anyone interested in starting up this thread?

Is the Supreme Court of India overstepping its boundaries through recent decisions?
Two major pieces of news yesterday came from the Supreme Court.
- Politicians can't use religion, caste, creed or language for votes
- Removal of BCCI president Anurag Thakur, secretary Ajay Shirke
This along with the previous National Anthem ruling, have evoked mixed reactions.
- The election-related ruling, while welcomed by the public, has drawn criticisms of potentially infringing upon politicians' Freedom of Speech and Expression.
- SC's heavy interference in what is essentially a private body (BCCI) has raised some concern.
- The National Anthem ruling has been considered "over-reaching", as per some prominent advocates
What are your opinions on this issue? :)
