• To avoid having your post removed &/or account banned for shitposting:

    • r/religiousfruitcake is about the absurd, fringe elements of organised religion. Posts about mundane beliefs and acts of worship (praying to God, believing in God, believing in afterlife, etc), are off topic.

    • We arent here to bash either specific religions or religion itself, because there are plenty of rational actors who happen to be religious. So if your post is "Christians are sTOoPid", or "Religion = dUmB", you're in the wrong sub and your post will probably be removed.

    • Dont use the title or body of your post to soapbox personal rhetoric about religion or any other subject.

    • Don't post videos or discussions of Fruitcakes who have been baited or antagonised. Social media excerpts must not involve any deliberate provocation / antagonism of Fruitcakes.

    • Dont post videos of physically violent personal attacks or any pics or videos containing gore

    • Satire, parodies, memes, videos, etc must be made by Fruitcakes, not by third parties about them. (exception for journalistic sources)

    This information is on every post. Accounts that disregard it will be perma-banned. "I didn't get a warning" or "I didnt know" are not valid appeals. If in doubt, please read the full version of the rules

  • He rather go to jail than see his daughter happy.

    Just as the gods willed. /s

  • Insane culture.

  • For the people who say things have changed. See this

    Funnily enough, my husband and I went to India before we had kids 13 Years ago and honestly I didn’t really feel too unsafe… I was saying to him a week ago that it sort of feels like things have changed… for the worse. And I don’t think I will be taking my 2 daughters there after all like I said I wanted to

    Unfortunately, while the BJP have improved the infrastructure & basic amenities for all households, they've turned it more and more religiously extreme. Hell, they have cow mobs funded by them.

    they didn't lmao apart from the development we see in major cities which was bound to happen with or without bjp the rest of india is the same as it was 10 years ago

    Things have changed, for the worse. India used to be better before some of our population decided to elect a far-right government for three consecutive terms.

  • This is not normal behavior 😔

  • I wonder if that man ever „wakes up“ and realises what he did there for no reason and that he failed as a father and a human being.

  • Way to go, India

  • Do these ppl actually face punishment or are they considered honorable for what they did? This is disgusting and if this is what your religion dictates then you need more soul searching.

  • When westerners appeal to karma as a great system, or even as a metaphor… Point them to this, this is what actual karma is supposed to be… It’s despicable…

  • Does religion have anything to do with it or is it caste problems?

    Absolutely yes.

    Hinduism is all about orthopraxy rather than orthodoxy.

    Your place in the society that determines your role matters more than your actual belief.

    If youre a woman youre expected to stay within your boundaries, if youre a child you ought to obey your abusive parents if you are a Dalit you ought to obey higher castes etc

  • I’m not one to defend religion but in fairness it does attract the weak of mind. So he may already have been a wounded person who joined a religion and became more wounded/deluded.
