Usual age of marriage during all known history/itihasa was 15-16+ For example In Ramayana sita maa was ~16-17 years old. Some say 24, but thats debatable Interesting change in this happened after islamic invasions and conquest of India (started in 7th century and took 400 years of bloodshed and wars resulting in Delhi sultanate During Islamic rule, Hindu marriages were a matter of concern and certainly life endangering, especially if the bride was beautiful. If a girl was beautiful, the family would marry her off when she was just 7-8 years old, and only then they would be at peace. Many would cut the faces of their beautiful girls with knives to make them appear ugly, so that the Muslims would not notice her. Most of the times even such drastic measures wouldn’t work too. Muslim soldiers would forcibly abduct young Hindu women and kill their husbands, so that there were none to complain about the abducted women. In southern parts, women started using veil initially; later they stopped coming out of their homes in fear of the Muslims. ~ “Tungabhadra Tire,” by Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay. The reason why the rampant child marriages and the ritual of hiding face with pan pata by Bengali brides came into existence.
I believe every word What can we do to end this evil practice though
99% of this is ended If there are pockets that are doing it, throw them in jail
Explain for south India where the Mughals could not conquer
Review your history Tipu sultan Madurai sultanate Hyderabad Nizam Bijapur sultans …. I can go on
Please review your history not just names. Tipu Sultan - never a part of Mughals, his dad stole Mysore and ruled for couple of decades and lost to British and Wodeyars were reinstated. Madurai Sultanate - probably ruled for about 40 years in a small region and then defeated by Vijayanagara empire. Hyderabad nizam - ruled only the deccan/hyderabad region after the decline of Mughals and eventually captured by British. Always a small princely state. Bijapur Sultan- legit Mughal allies but kept losing to Vijayangara and Maratha and hence never spread beyond Bijapur, Bidar and Gulbarga. Barring Hyderabad nizams who were the allies of the British none of the other Muslim rulers expanded their presence resulting in a very minuscule Muslim population in the south. The northern states were oppressed by Muslim rule, have a substantial population converted and hence it’s a political issue there.
Juliet Capulet was 13. Why do people enjoy this play?
Child marriages have been happening through ancient times, I read it in my school history. https://testbook.com/ias-preparation/child-marriage-in-india On the other hand it is also correct that hindu women had to resort to some practises in order to avoid attention of some muslim rulers. But what you said about paan patta ritual is absolutely bullshit. What is happening to these people, everyday I get to hear some new BS theory. When asked about source, you get flagged with some noun.
Even if this happen, let's work together to make our nation free of such practices. Learn from the Japanese, they don't keep cursing USA every day for dropping nuclear bomb. They have made themselves much better
Every religion has moved on except the most peaceful one
I understand your point about extremism. Extremism is not a long term solution to fight extremism. Therefore we Hindus should refrain from extremism. Even Islamic governments like Malasia have programmes to curb extremism among Muslims. We should also have such programmes, and education is the best programme to bring people out of such mindset.
Ramayan is mythology, not history
Lol You would have to refer to judgement basis of 2019 supreme courts ruling on Ram janma bhumi This BS theory has been debunked
Is it taught as a part of History in Indian schools?
You worked at Cisco and now at Modi-Modi? Do you do referrals for Modi-Modi? Hook a brother up yo! Do I need to show certifications from whatsapp U? I want to follow the dear leader in his footsteps. Has an MA in entire political science. Hindu Rashtra Tax: Jai Sriram, Ram ram etc!
Modi-Modi a trigger to catch virus and so far all peacefuls get caught 🤡
You are accurate to some extent. It's not just threat of abduction, the threat of abduction lead to suppression of women's movement outside of the house. but also elders were dying at young age like 40-50. so elders who were close to dying, would just want to marry of their young early on.
Modi bots ruining Blind
If you want silence Mute words People keep BSing on abusive practices in Hinduism, so giving context with reference
7th century peaceful religion hell bent on destroying any shred of civilization. Reminds me of orcs in the lord of the rings.
