Talk:GRSJ224/Menstruation: Perspectives In India

WOW, thank you for this cross-cultural perspective. I wasn't aware of the contemporary Menstruation politics in India at all. First of all, I really loved the way you divided your topics. It was very easy to read (I am now going to edit my Wiki lol). The content was also very concise and consumable for all. I too, am shocked by the 'Blood Tax' as it seems more of an inconvenience to even create the Tax in the first place. I definitely can relate to this irrational idea that a period is "impure" in western society, but now that I am older I have learned it is a biological cleansing process. So, maybe the opposite of impure? Thanks for the great read!

Hi,

First of all, through I was reading your wiki page, I was very shocked. The fact that Menstruation is portrayed as "impure" although it is natural cycle that human cannot choose or deny. Since I am Atheism, it was interesting reading background information of menstruation as each kind of religion. I was also furious and sad at the same time when I realize there were thing such as "blood tax" which is meaning of 12% of tax occurring at sanitary pads. I was relief when it stated that at 2018, GST have been scrapped, however I was also wondering at the same time what is meaning that is scrapped? Through what process and from who? I think it would better to elaborate about the 'scrapped' part for better understanding towards readers.
