cv's do not create fake information about india

cv's yesterday anandi said prachin kaal me ye pratha chali aa rahi hai...which is not true..

child marriages originated after the Muslim invasions on india that began more than 1,000 years ago.

historical facts says that the invaders raped unmarried Hindu girls or carried them off as booty, prompting Hindu communities to marry off their daughters almost from birth to protect them.

this is a fact

India had the very proud tradition of "swayambar". which means every body had the right to choose his or her life partner when they grow up.

there are many many and many incidents of swayambar recorded in hindu scriptures...n not even a hint of child marriege before islamic invasion..

there are enough proof...

Well I agree to some part about the swaymvar etc...but please dont mix religion into this as there would be a huge discord among the IF forum members...

We would just stick to the fact that child marriages is a evil thing. Also the moguls who raped little girls were pure evil...but not because of they were moguls...but because they were pure evils..

As Akbar the great was also a moghul but he always respected women folk.

So there are good and evil elements in every society and one should categorise them according to their deeds and not religion, no religion says that it is good to hurt others..

Well, you might have your sources but I've read differently - there are several Indian historians, specially those who belong to the materialist school of historiography - like Romila Thapar, DD Kosambi, etc - who write that this was not so. While the concept of having an age of marriage is definitely old, its only relatively recently that eighteen has been fixed as that age, with the legislations passed during British rule. Even during the Vedic period, which itself spanned a millenium, daughters used to be married 'young' - but there they had a greater degree of freedom than what they had later, when organized Brahmanical religion took over. I'm pretty sure it's sociological factors which contributed to child marriage, whenever this institution was born - and not because of 'Muslim invasions'...and like someone else has pointed out, the religion of those invaders had nothing to do with the invasions - they were Turks, or Moguls, or Afghans. They didn't rape women because of a particular religion - religion has no relevance here, in my opinion. So calling them Muslim invaders is wrong itself, in my opinion...just because certain British writers dubbed periods in our history as 'Hindu', and 'Muslim', we too fall prey to those very fallacies even today. Muslim communities had been living in India long before warriors from the Central Asian empires rode in- the Arab merchants who took up residence in the Malabar coast, etc.

ah you are the one who is mixing the religion here,the above fact is absolutely right and no one is mixing religion,history is history and about akbar,he is not called the great for nothing,sure he was a good man accn to history but he was no compare to asoka.he was a great king,va smith said that akbar and asoka wanted to achieve the same thing but no king in the world matches asoka.he was a man of century.ah...here i wanted to say that history is history,it is neutral to religion and it is a truth that muslim and mongolian invader did bad thing to hindus.

i am NOT supporting or mixing any religion here...i just foresaw what might happen on the forum because of this thread and tried to warn/stop it...thats all. .and the same as i said its happening... we want a healthy harmonius discussion in this forum ..

Straight up hate eh? Let's pay more attention to the evil deed itself instead of it's "origins". Cause no matter when or who originated it, it's an evil that still exists in the society today and it's cruel to young girls and boys.

I'm a History student. It is a fact that the invasion of Turks and Mongols and their attacks on Hindu temples had played a role in the strengthening of ultra-conservative indigenous customs which led to the rise of unquestioned Brahminical superiority in Hindu society. It's a FACT.

child marriage hoti thi pur ladkiyon pur koi bandish nahi thi .purane jamane mein shaadi isliye ki jaati thi kyonki hindu mein dharam ka palan patni ke bina nahi ho sakta tha us time parda pratha jaise koi kupratha bhi nahi thi .pur middle age mein parda pratha shuru ho gayi aur un pur bevajah bandishe shuru ho gayin
