 Do you know that these portions are reffered to as Taamasic srutis by
Vaishnavas?

Yes. I do not have much respect for sastras  whose expiry date
is over. I think I am sensible. Absolutely no regrets.

There is no dharma which is time proof. Dharma depends desa ,kala
and deha dharma. Dharma in India has changed innumerable times ( Manu to
Parasara). It cannot be kept rigid. It is changing even now.  It will
change in
future also. Thank you for the unintended compliment you paid by calling me
detrimental to Sanatana Dharma.
