Unauthorized Women
Rama's brother Srinivas is about to tell a sacred legend for the first time. Like his father, he began by addressing the bell, so if there were women in the crowd it would be clear he wasn't speaking to them. Rama is beginning to realize the many restrictions faced by women, including the restriction of hearing the sacred legends.
Book Excerpt
Rama's Labyrinth: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
Srinivas doesn’t sit as straight as Father, Rama thought.
Srinivas cleared his throat and raised his hands for attention. He didn’t look at the audience, but at the large bell in front of him. “O bell,” he began, “I’m speaking to you, not to any unauthorized women.”
I hate that phrase, Rama thought. It makes women feel bad and men feel better.
Srinivas settled into his story.
