yes this recorded history too was put in debate that so much jauhar had taken place...
This was countered by saying that if so then why no steps were taken to ensure the safety of queens and higher hierarchy women by giving them sword training...
we all known that princess Sita too was trained warrior ...
all i can say that Like bad practice like Sati...this too was mooted that Muslims rape dead bodies so its better to get burned...
one can after all agree to disagree...
