@Fatema knowing the symbolisms of Sanathana Dharma can help others appreciate it much than give religious color to it. Because most of the practices are not religious, it is more connected to nature and any religion can use it based on their beliefs.
@Mili let me tell you one thing. Culture, Tradition is propagated through women. Why we South Indians knew much more is that South India compared to North India is less patririachial. Most of the anti woman practices are less in South compared to North. Not that it is not there. But less. Yes a family here will make a sad face when a daughter is born, but then many wont go to the extend of doing a female feticide. Also the education of women, social status of women is much better in South than in North. Hence the culture, tradition has been kept alive as there are women in the family. In North female feticide in the 80s have reduced female population, add to that lack of education, poor social status of women how will the generation get interested in anything related to our culture. Woman is knowledge, and when she is denied knowledge, when she is denied the right to be born how will the culture and tradition thrive. It simply will not.
