>You also nicely glibed over questions about moral values and asked me to look deeper. This is the standard cop out answer given when pointed to out all immoral things. I don't think if a sixteen year old girls asks me that question (how come one wife being kept by 5 guys? or multiple wives for one guy ) I cannot tell her to look deep other than saying that that's how those barbarians lived thousands of years back and those moral values do not apply to our civilized current society. >

Lighten up. If everything you read is colored by anti-brahminism, you are going to miss out.

If you think that Draupadi having five husbands (whether literally or as a writer's twist) is the big morality issue in contemporary or ancient Hindu society, then you are missing the point.
