In India, the legal system has multiple provisions to deal with dowry giving and the violence associated with it. In 1961, the Dowry Prohibition Act was made to address this issue. In 2015, 7,634 women died due to dowry harassment, representing approximately 21 cases per day in India. The majority of dowry deaths occur within the first three years of marriage.
Bride burning is one of the most heinous and shocking forms of violence against women, usually identified historically and culturally with a particular part of the world. If the bride’s parents are unable to pay the money or goods to the bridegroom, the dowry system becomes the main cause of suicide or burning of the bride. The essentials of Section 304B include the death of a woman must be caused within by burns or bodily injury or otherwise than under normal circumstances; the death must occur within 7 years of marriage; and the woman must have been subjected to cruelty or harassment by her husband or his relatives.
In India, about 20,000 murders are committed every year, of which women constitute about 10%-15% of the total, ie, about 2000-2500 per year. Homicidal burning of married women constitutes a significant proportion of dowry deaths. In Bangalore, India, the burns ward reports that an estimated 25,000 brides are killed or maimed worldwide every year over dowry disputes.

How were the British able to conquer India?
The British arrived in India on August 24, 1608. India has a long history, going back 4,000 years. Britain didn’t have an indigenous written language until the 9th century, almost 3,000 years after India. How did the British take control of this huge country from 1757 to 1947? They had more money, better weapons, and a sense of confidence that let them slowly take over India.
India became the center of Europe’s trade. European countries wanted to set up their own trading posts in Asia.
The Europeans wanted to trade, but they also wanted to take over more land. The British wanted money and action.
Was it painful to be burned at the stake?
In ancient Rome, burning was a common way to kill someone. In Rome, the victim would wear a tunic smeared with tar and be soaked in grease. This made the victim burn up almost immediately, causing a lot of pain.
Is widows fire a real thing?
Sexual bereavement is the grief we don’t like to talk about. It’s normal to miss sex and intimacy when grieving a partner’s death. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. There’s even a term for it: widow’s fire. Sexual bereavement is the grief we don’t like to talk about. It’s natural to miss sex and intimacy when your partner dies. There’s even a term for it: “widow’s fire.” Widow’s or widower’s fire is a strong desire for sex following bereavement. It is often considered a natural part of the grieving process. Our new research found that 63% of widows and widowers felt “widow’s fire” after their partner died. 58% felt these sexual urges within six months. On average, widows and widowers wait a year and three months to have sex again. The shortest time is for 18- to 30-year-olds, with an average of 9 months, 2 weeks, and 4 days. There’s no right or wrong time to explore intimacy after grief. It’s about what feels right.

What is the British widow burning?
The British colonial state forced Hindu women to burn themselves to death. Thousands of Indian Hindu women died in violent, burning deaths with the support of the British colonial state. The colonial government said that Hindu widows wanted to die, which was not true. Some widows consented to their immolation because of patriarchal ideas (Vaid and Sangari 1991). The British colonial state encouraged widow immolation and regulated it, which allowed them to judge, jury, and execute Hindu widows. The law made it necessary to stop the practice. After years of campaigns, widow immolation was abolished in Bengal on December 4, 1829. Anderson, M.. Islamic law and the British in India. In D. Arnold and P. G. Robb (eds.), Institutions and Ideologies: A SOAS South Asia Reader. Routledge.
What is the bride burning in England?
Burning Brides: Dowries can lead to financial ruin. The dowry system has led to thousands of women being burned to death. Bride burning is when the in-laws burn the bride because she didn’t bring enough money. Bride burning is still a problem in Britain and has become a political issue worldwide. Time for change? Asian reformers say the dowry is wrong. As Asian women become more independent, they no longer need a dowry. Supporters of the dowry say it is an ancient custom to give a couple a good start in married life. Gold jewelry is a big part of Asian mythology. A daughter’s wedding is very special, and giving her gold shows how much you value her. The focus of dowries has changed from securing brides to asset acquisition, which is a concern.
What is a British war bride?
War brides are women who married military personnel from other countries during wartime. This happened a lot during World War I and World War II. Allied servicemen married women in many countries where they were stationed at the end of the war. These countries included the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, China, Japan, France, Italy, Greece, Germany, Poland, Luxembourg, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Korea, and the Soviet Union. Similar marriages also occurred in Korea and Vietnam. The later wars in those countries involved U.S. troops and other anti-communist soldiers. The term “war brides” was first used for women who married Canadian servicemen overseas and immigrated to Canada after the world wars. This term became popular during World War II. In January 1919, the Canadian government offered to transport all dependents of Canadian servicemen from Britain to Canada. This included free travel by ship and train. There are no official figures for the number of war brides and their children. By 1946, over 40,000 Canadian servicemen had married women from Europe. There is no exact number of World War I European brides married to American soldiers. Many immigrated to the United States after World War I as war brides from Europe.
Why was burning at the stake a punishment?
In the 14th century, burning at the stake was the most common way to kill people accused of witchcraft or heresy. This also meant being paraded through the streets in a cart. Lunette is accused of treason. Treason was punished by beheading or hanging, drawing, and quartering. For murder, arson, or robbery, men were hanged, but women were burned at the stake. Later in the Middle Ages, burning at the stake was the most common way to kill those accused of witchcraft or heresy. At this time, heresy meant believing or teaching religious ideas other than those of the Catholic Church. A thief might be branded with a red-hot iron, and the mark would last for the rest of their life. Other punishments were meant to shame the offenders. For example, a monk and a nun were sitting in stocks. A disgraced knight was driven through the streets in a cart.
What is the ritual of burning widows in India?
Hinduism is the oldest religion and has many sacraments. Sati is burning a woman alive with her husband’s body. It is the most controversial sacrament. A woman dies with her husband because she believes it is her duty.
📹 One of the Most Scariest Traditions in History: Sati
#PODCAST #SCARY #TRUECRIME Vigilance Elite/Shawn Ryan Links: Website – https://www.vigilanceelite.com Patreon …
The British were NOT the first to ban sati in India. Hindu Peshwas banned Sati 29 years BEFORE Lord Bentinck. Hindu Maratha Kingdom Savantvadi abolished Sati by an official order dated May 6, 1821. 8 years BEFORE Lord Bentinck. Shri Swami Narayan was campaigning against Sati in 1801. Anybody who says British were the first to abolish Sati is either dishonest or ignorant.
Damn, I hadn’t thought of it that way before. We used to call it Man Love Thursdays, because on Thursdays (only day of the week this happened) a lot of younger boys would be taken somewhere private by much older men, and things would happen… Earlier rotos had stepped in and intervened, and the issue did get raised several times through the CoC right to the top. Ultimately the directive was to stand down and don’t interfere, as it was a widespread cultural norm… Erik is right. If we’d put our foot down and communicated clearly that this ‘cultural norm’ of raping young boys was over for as long as we were there, it would have won over every single mother in the country. And he’s right, that was truly a huge fail.
I watched a documentary where that exact scenario with the tea boy played out. Those poor boys. I have 3 sons and I can’t imagine….. And I will never forget the look in that man’s eyes, (from the U.S. military) when he realized he wasn’t going to be putting a stop to that abuse. I turned to my boyfriend and said, “that officer isn’t going to survive this.” I just felt it in my bones. I felt like he wouldn’t be able to live with the knowledge that they were supposed to turn a blind eye to it. He looked so haunted. I don’t remember if I found out what happened to him.
I was never in the military. From my perspective as a civilian, it strikes me that everything said about the failures in Afghanistan and about standing up for the values of our military and our country is exactly the problem with the complete failure of our government ON BOTH SIDES. Interesting how the man known as the father of our country warned us about the dangers of party loyalty overruling loyalty to our country and our constitution.
Wow. Didn’t see that coming. Didn’t know about the boys being passed around. I heard that the Hindu practice of burning wives started out as voluntary as the husband was so good and this self-burning at his funeral pyre was a voluntary expression of extreme grief. Predictably, like so many other situations, the practice grew into a coerced obligation and then required and the law.
I watched a article with anthropological references to back up the fact that Aborigines in Australia practiced this frequently. Another common link with the Tamil apparently. They were also had genetic deformities due to incest. There solution was infanticide and cannibalism. The British also had to work very hard to stamp this out.
He’s SOOOO on point. I forget who said it, but someone once wisely noted & said (I’m paraphrasing),”All it takes for Evil to exist & prosper, is for Good Men & Women to standby & do NOTHING.” I think his story is a great example and account of BOTH sides of that statement; what happens when good/in-service-to-others people do nothing and stand by; and what positive & profound change & impact that stepping-up & doing-the-right-thing can have, not only on an individual, but potentially (just as he described) a community, town, city/state or even an entire culture. Mad props brother 👏 🙏 💯😎
Oh my God! I believe the American women had we known this we would have pushed to stop this heinous thing. The fact that the president knew this and didn’t shut it down and allowed a court marshall of those who did try to stop absolutely blows my mind. And they call us evil and infidels. Holy crap talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
Sad to see that Westerners still think that forced sati used to exist in India. It is an old myth colonizers came up with to justify colonization and Christian conversion practices. To be clear practices named sati existed and it did involve widow burning but it wasn’t forced. The vast majority of widows chose not to do it. East India Company and Crown did much more harm than good. The death toll is around 60 million and this is even after Indians chose to fight on the side of the Britishers in both world wars. The famine which used to exist in India before East India Company came in was due to Islamic control of the north of India and that’s why hindu were fighting m@slims.
Sati was not going around every where in the subcontinent of India and not at all in every hindu family.. It was a rare case of financially motivated peices of trash killing the wife of the deceased man to take the properties as women had rights on properties. And famines started after the British loots… Most of the cases artificially created by them like the famines during world war 2 .. Churchill took the food away and was responsible for killing of more that 3 million Indians in the bengal province… You should get the facts of the colonial Empire right… Many people watch you.. you should check the facts in details.
It was a Hindu practice, where the wife would be dressed up in all her gold and jewels and right before she was put on the fire they(Pandits) made her take off all the gold and jewelry. Ofcourse the hindu pandits kept all the jewelry. The Sikh Guru, Guru Amar Das Ji banned this practice, at the risk of being killed by these pandits. This was long before the British did anything. fyi The Guru lifted the status of women as equal to men. He prohibited the practice of Sati and preached in favor of widow marriage. G.B. Scott acclaims the Guru as the first reformer who condemned the prevailing Hindu practice of Sati.
Wow, this is an awful take. The big issue with this is that we did put an end to many of their horrible cultural practices in Afghanistan, and it not only did nothing to help, but actually turned more people against us. There is absolutely nothing we could have done the win that. The best thing we could’ve done was to put Donsten in charge as president, and let him rule to the best of his abilities. I was in Afghanistan towards the end, and there is now way you can tell those people to stop doing anything. They’re Bronze Age, and will not conform to the modern world.
If that Pakistani dude said that, then he’d be regarded as a grifter. I’m only going to comment on the East India company stuff. 1) It is NOT a communist idea that the East India company was bad. It is held for the most part by South Asians apolitically. From communists to ANTI-COMMUNISTS. It is one of the very few things South Asians agree with, which is a huge deal. 2) Famine did happen. The Indians on the ground, regardless of background, agree with that. Buddy is acting like exporting was a minor thing. It was a huge part. We know they made food, for TRADE AND FOR EXPORT TO THEIR COUNTRIES. Indians did not have much to eat especially after war. The main issue with the East India company and the colonisers which differentiate them from Muslim leaders who are also despised by Hindus, was that they took away stuff from the subcontinent to build their countries. Looting. Parasitic. Muslims did not do that. Muslim leaders made their homes in South Asia and tried to build it as best they can. 3) Muslims and Hindu relations improved? Before Independence, there were plenty of attacks on each other. Thousands used to die just within a day of fighting. After independence, the British made it worse with their idiotic borders. The fact that East and West Pakistan existed on Religious grounds shows that they did not get along. These countries would’ve still separated but on ethnocultural grounds, not religion. But to say that Hindus and Muslims relations improved is an Insane thing. According to many Indologists (I would reference them but I’ll have to leave this app), including the ones Indians don’t particularly like, the British used a divide and conquer strategy to make situations between Muslims and Hindus worse.
I agree sati was one of the worst things to happen and should always be abolished. But to say in the same breath that the British East India company fed Indians and saved them from famines is so stupid when you do not know anything about the history of this country. They looted India, to the very last penny, made the religions fight each other to keep them occupied, and let 30 million inidans starve while our own grain sat in the harbor of Kolkata, rotting, in case the British might need it. … All of you will pay for what your society has done to the people of this subcontinent.
Sir John Kaye, Secretary in the Political and Secret Department at India office, 1858 – “But for all this, it can hardly be said that widow-burning was ever a national custom. At no time has the practice been so frequent as to constitute more than an exception to the general rule of self-preservation. Still, even in this exceptional state, it was something very horrible and deplorable in Christian eyes, and something to be suppressed if suppression was possible, by a Christian government established in a heathen land….I have said that this practice of Suttee has never been anything more than an exceptional abomination. It has never been universal throughout India – never in any locality has it been general (Kaye 1966: 524; 529)
Sati was a historical practice found in some parts of India where a widow would immolate herself on her husband’s funeral pyre. It was sometimes interpreted as an ultimate act of devotion and loyalty of a wife towards her deceased husband, reflecting the belief in the deep spiritual bond between husband and wife. The act was sometimes seen as a way for the widow to cleanse her and her husband’s sins, ensuring a better afterlife for both. The British colonizers often viewed it through a lens of cultural superiority and moral judgment. They tended to interpret it as a barbaric and backward practice, seeing Indian society as savage and in need of Western enlightenment and intervention. However, this view oversimplified the complex cultural and religious nuances of sati and disregarded the varied interpretations and voluntary aspects. In their efforts to abolish the practice, the British imposed their own cultural and moral values on Indian society, sometimes failing to engage with the local context and perspectives. This goes to show the level of cultural misinterpretation and ignorance of tradition which is carried by the powerful oppressive countries and structures. Painting the U.S. Army or the British Colonial Army as the White saviour which intervened and saved them all… Which may or may not be the actual case. I do not want to speak for the culture of millions of people and thousands of years of tradition. I just thought a broader context was needed, because the title can be a bit suggestive and ignorant.
Sati or Johar pratha was started during Islamic invasion in India. These invaders after killing the soldiers would rush to villages and cities to capture, loot, kill civilians and to make those widows as their sex slaves. Before getting captured these women and girls to keep their pride and honor would jump into fire. This kept going for 600-700 years. Then British invaded India and Islamic rule was fading but this sati pratha kept going for sometime. And people think it is some Hindu ritual. It’s funny and sad.
It was due to the efforts of Raja Ram mohan Roy that Lord William Bentick abolished Sati system in 1829 by declaring it an offence. It advocated freedom of the press and condemned any restriction imposed on it by the Government. It supported widow-remarriage and the education of girls. It wasn’t any British effort to stop it. A person listing and quoting a Pakistani endorsing East India company has not only relied on distorted facts and untrustworthy people, but also is himself disillusioned. He just likes to pat his own back
British colonialism killed 100 million Indians in 40 years. Between 1880 to 1920, British colonial policies in India. How many did Adolf Hitler Nazis killed ??? Timeline of the Holocaust: 1933-1945The Bengal famine, also known as the Bengal Holocaust, was a man-made disaster that resulted in the deaths of an estimated 3 million people in the Bengal region of British India.
❤ everybody wonders why the Mayans disappeared so abruptly without taking any of their sacred things from the temple with them and it’s because if you sat around observing your neighbors killing their babies on the altar of blood and perusal them dance around and Pat each other on the back because they think that really works well in their society it keeps them happy and ready to party I’m pretty sure after awhile you get sick of perusal people do that and way back in the day there were no police to go stop them so ta da! they disappeared Without a Trace……
Okay as an Indian who actually knows what happened I have a few things to say about this. First of all the east India company didn’t stop it, in fact inadvertently legalized it by legislating conditions under which it could be done. This is before 1827 a hundred years (that’s right 36500 days post their ‘occupation’ of the country). It had to be fought by Raja Rammohan Roy in 1829(12 years post English occupation) who finally convinced the ruling power, i.e east India company to inflict a law that banned this religious horror. The story he shares has no background and is probably a rumor
Sati as a concept orignated after the muslim invasion of India. If you look at pre-islamic invasion history of India we see no evidence of sati as a practice in either written or oral history. The problem was, islamic theology allows men to keep as many slave woman as they wished. A kuffar window would have been an easy pickings for them. Hence, it is quite evident that these woman initially chose to go on the dead husbands funaral pyre, than be a slave for someone.
One of the few good things to come out of British colonisation was the abolition of sati, sir for the rest of your points i think you need some more research. 1. They set up the irrigation system, this laughable, they did not do crap apart from setting up their fortresses. They were instigating famines, by taking up all the rations, and charging heavy taxes, an example being the Bengal Famine during WWII. 2. I don’t have anything on this topic. 3. The fact that you think that they, the British stopped Hindu, Muslim fighting, is laughable, Most of the current issues in communal differences can be traced back to the British occupation of india. One of the famous techniques use by British to break the country was Devide and Rule. 4. I am grateful that this was abolished.
East india company ended famines ?? R u kidding me ? Ever heard of the bengal famine 1943-44,created by Winston Churchill in bengal,india .East india company n winston churchill rounded up all crop grown n sent it to british troops leaving the locals to starve. 3 million indians died in 1 year. Advise the guest to educate himself.
Few cruel people did that in past but it was never part of our culture. This tradition never mentioned anywhere in religious texts. Whereas there were many laws(enforced by British govt) that a white man will never dare to speak in public. One such example – “Cantonment Act of 1864” – according to this act the govt provided 12 – 15 Indian women to each british regiment consist of 1000 soldiers.
Well, Sati was a terrible practice and in no way should anyone defend on it’s part. However it was not a practice widespread in most of India and had huge amount of criticism from Hindus as well. From about 1000-1400 AD only 11 cases of Sati were there and 41 during 1400-1600. Most Hindus today have no living memory of Sati in their family. Thank that guy for putting an end to what he saw as, that actually was a cruel practice but their more woman have been burnt in England since 13th centuary than all of the cases of Sati. I mean you can fact check this yourself man!
I’ve been critical of Eric Prince and some of his companies and their practices in the past although I will admit I probably don’t know the full story and background of these circumstances or events so I should have reserved judgment prior to taking a position on these things. I can say however after hearing him describe these cultural practices and some of what the East India Trading Company did, this is some stand-up moral behavior and I commend him for standing on his principles. I also want to say that these practices he is describing as far as I know or strictly speaking Pagan practices and this is the kind of evil and cultural relativism we are supposed to respect in this new Multicultural world and that is absolutely satanic. There’s no way anyone should permit or accept or make rationalizations or excuses for Burning Alive innocent women or molesting young boys. If the degenerate want to claim this is cultural or moral relativism and that we need to respect these cultures people need to stand up and say there’s something wrong with these cultures obviously.
@ShawnRyanShowOfficial The debate on Sati Pratha is nothing new. It is one among the most favorite topic discussed by H¡ndu-bashers. But is it true? off course not, H¡ndu scriptures does not mention anywhere about the practice of the burning or burial of widows with their dead husbands. In मनुस्मृति 2/6 Maharishi Manu said: वेदोऽखिलो धर्ममूलं स्मृतिशीले च तद्विदाम् । Means Vedas are the final authority in case of “Dharma”. There is not a single mantra in the entire four Vedas that supports Sati Pratha. Not even give a hint of supporting Sati Pratha. Vedas advise a widow to return from her Husband’s corpse and live a happy life in her remarriage (if she wants). Widowhood and Remarriage in Sanatan Dharma Dharma sutras or smrithis mentioned the duties of a wife but do not recommend sati pratha. Maharishi Manu describes wives as worthy of being worshipped that lamps lit the households and manu also says the wife is legal heir of the husband property after his death. Manu Smriti 5.89 prohibits libation of water to those who commit suicide. Medhatithi, the eminent classical commentator of Manu Smriti, considers Sati as being against the Vedas precisely because Sati is suicide. Suicide is classified as a bad death in Hindu scriptures. As far as I know no one has ever refuted Medhatithi’s criticism of the Sati Pratha. It is also remarkable that Medhatithi does not accept direct scriptural support for Sati Pratha. Atharvaveda 18.3.1 is mostly quoted as Vedic Mantra which supports Sati Pratha but this mantra speaks about continuation of worldly affairs by Women in this world after her husband’s death.
Under mughul rule, there was a lot of vulnerabilities for women, when the husband passed away, a women alone by herself was the cause for many problems. Please use your brain, what would happen when your under a very violent occupier. This was not part of Hindu culture, this is not a spiritual practice. He’s clearverly made use of this to justify British imposition in India, you need material, you need reasons to colonize by friend.
Sati has been misinterpreted to the west….it wasn’t common…. Many Indian men died under British rule but no case of sati of their women…sati is completely optional as a means of devotion from wife to her husband….. Women who are pregnant or with children where forbidden to do sati….only once a while random sati was seen and British popularised it to labelled our culture as backwards while destroying our free trade system that made us one of the richest countries in the world in ancient and mediaeval times….if u asked a random indian of his/her family history of sati u won’t find any
Selective reading of history of indo pak and east India company activity is nicely glossed over by simply stating some negative aspect. However most will agree with firing squad of bash bazi. Apart from sati there is not much other achievement of East India company that made Hindustan one of the poorest and all the roads were not for the benefit of Hindustan but for exporting loot and miltary. Hindustani paid with their lives and wealth. Can the same be said about sex or forced prostitution in US. Just because there is abuse, it does not give US high ground. They still haven’t come to terms of issue of racism, drug, rape, sex child rings, epstine blackmailing outfit, corporate greed etc.Its funny a war profiteer lecturing others of human rights and achievement. Its like having king Leo pole telling African of advantage of low population on the back of genocide of African tribe in Nsmibia.
As an indian i can confirm i dint have any sati for my back 20 generations and what u are talking about the sati is banned in just 1 day then plzz tell why drugs are smuggled illegally if it is banned i am not saying sati wasnt practiced yes it was but not on a scale that british historians have told thy just made sati one of the several justifiable reasons to rule india. And let me tell u the bengal is one of the most fertile lands in india british rule came in bengal in 1764 and just after 5 years in 1769 bengal faced its first famine in which 20 million begalis were killed and one more fact is that the revenue collected by britishers from bengal in 1769 was even higher than 1768 or 67. And yes plzz mr. biased why are u not saying anything about permanent settlement system given by cornwallis, dual governments system by robert clive, jallianwalabagh by general dyre, siege of sindh by aukland and many many more things. u are today a developed nation because u looted us and killed us . In the last i want to say “whenever u Britishers feel egoistic of your developement just remember that your queen has our diamond on her crown”
True statement fireing squad. Seen documentary on Navy S.E.A.L. Dogs it showed how one dog was captured never seen again. Also men in cages being burned alive was that our soldiers in cages? Seen anougher documentry on PTSD . How can people help soldiers with ptsd ? Real help. Or create more programs does the horse therapy programs work better then the others? Dogs are probly angels in disquise people should treat and rescue them as such. All soldiers deserve a calvery rescue not left alone. 🙏🙏🙏🤺🤺🤺🤺🦮🦮🦮🦮🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🙏🙏🙏💫💫💫💫🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🍁🌻🍁🌻🍁🌻🧭🧭
That won’t work. The thing is sati stopped in India (although I don’t know in how many regions it’s been practicing) one is strict action and other one education. And encourage those with modern thinking. What U.S did was played on politics even if you guys tought for long term should have acted in that way.. gone everything wrong now it’s mess for us Indians. Now, we are surrounded by Islamists, communist. With 2 has nukes countries
As a christian I found out hinduism is senseless first they divided into castes like if you born in lower castes there is no scope you can be great in life 🤦🏻.second they started praying literally to anything some day i saw some hindus started praying to a dustbin as its formed as sculpture maybe for them its good bug for me you can’t connect to supreme power by this
Ya fist of all sati is not a thing forced on women and to those people who say it was forced then during the british rule there were more than 100 million deaths due to famine then why are there no recorded proof of sati And if you say it was banned so it was not found then let me just say a lot of things were banned but were still continued like fight for freedom and many more. The thing i think was true that the british commander considered murder was only when british women where burned alive ( which neve happened) For further info you can simply Type the truth about sati .
He is so utterly wrong here… If what the East India Company did made them more endearing to Indians, then why didn’t the British rule over India? Why did so many Indians unite that the British couldn’t even fathom the thought of fighting a war with India? Another thing this guy fails to mention is that the Taliban also stopped Bacha Bazi. It was common amongst Northern Alliance soldiers who were smoking hash all day, but not Taliban. How does someone with such little history knowledge get into a position to talk to the president? Our country is really struggling lol
Shawn, let me start by saying I love your content but the guest suggestion of locals led by an expats are long gone. You need to have some fresh and bright minds on your show. It’s the era of multilateralism. The west has zero leverage now. If they want to be relevant they need to start looking for partners and work with them instead of leading them kind of mindset. I think US is following the right strategy by making alliances with Japan, India and Australia but they need to be more sincere. Because people are going call bs when they will see one. Anyway keep up the good work. I am rooting for you.
It must take a lot of gall to say that there were only SOME negatives to the East India Company. Of course, you can only say that on a Western platform. Try that in India and you will be schooled on how to use proper English and also told about the true history of the butchers who sat there licking their fingers, drenched with Indian blood, for almost 200 years. “that’s how you should do stability operations..” – So the British came to India to stabilize the country? That country who could NOT unite Wales, Scotland and Ireland set out to stabilize the entire world! Today it is so stable that it has opted out of the EU, the same colonial mindset dictating its policies, thinking that it is better than the rest of the world. “at the end of the Q&A, this Pakistani guy stands up..” – Since when did a Pakistani share the same sentiments as an Indian? Remember, with the beautiful stabilization brought by the British, India has been successfully cut into 3 pieces. Pakistan and India are locked in continuous wars since the British left. We cannot thank them enough for a job well done. “..the East India Company built tens of thousands of miles of irrigation and made it possible for the entire subcontinent to feed itself…so it ended famine!” This is the consequence of a history written by the same thieves who dilapidated one of the richest countries in the world. The aim of the East India Company was very straightforward: Have the lowest of human beings, the Indians, work for us and sell the produce elsewhere for a massive profit!
Live Next to where Sati used to happen… And this is called appropriating history. Charles Napier was a nobody. The person who actually stopped Sati was a Bengali by the name of Raja Ram Mohan Roy, a polymath and social reformer who did a lot to uplift the women in Hindu society. The British were in fact on the side of Sati practitioners because conservative Hindus were some of the biggest supporters of colonial rule. Do read history books and don’t just watch YT shorts And one more thing to add, Marathas Also banned Sati, Britishers cancelled it for highly Conservative Hindus, Beacuse they were more loyal to brits, Later they again put a ban on It, so get your facts right One more thing it was done by some specific casts not by all STOP SAYING AND CLAIMING STUFF WITH HALF KNOWLEDGE….
Psalm 118:24-29 KJV This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar. Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Amen 🌝 God Bless ❤ 🙏🏻😇🙏🏻
British ended famines??? Do u research about Bengal famine of 1770 causing death of millions of people because of combination of factors like crop failures and exploitative land revenue policies implement by British as Company focused on extracting revenue from the region. Or Bengal famine of 1943 because British government diverted resources for the war effort, which aggravated the food shortage. It’s estimated to have caused the deaths of around 2-3 million people. And no way they stoped warlordism, British sided up with rich warlord and exploited the poor pushing into debth. If the poor peasents failed to pay off they were forced in a slavery or ” Bondend labourism”. And pls we all know how British United Hindus and Muslim I think this man learns history from cocomelon.
FYI- Sati was voluntary not forcefully..and we still worship those women..Also fact – It was done only by Kshatriya women… Means Rajputs..We are proud of that ..As a westerner you would never understand the essence of it…And whatever the British did good in India was only to benefit themselves ..they were numerous famines because food was diverted to other parts of Raj..
Yes it was awful practice but did you properly research abt that practice.. It started after muslims invasions so that dead soldiers wifes are not sold as sex slaves by conquerors. infact it was not present before that. At start women used to do this on their own when their men used to go to war in which they would have confirmed to die. I meant a hopeless seize where its better to die than surrender. Infact ottoman Turkish sultans every partner was a sex slave . they were never wife. But yes slaves son was considered legitimate son of sultan. This was emulated by wider population and muslims abducted non Muslim women. That’s why most western Turkish people looks European. But i am digressing from topic. back to sati And like every thing in world people remember events and practice but forgot reasons and conditions of practice. Thus by 18th century Sati became a social evil and in 19th century, ishwara Chandra Vidyasagar and Raja Ram Mohan roy got it abolished by a societal movement. So infact Hindus have ability to identify issues and change their society. Dont give credit to colonizers or act as civilizing force yourself. Do you really think a small force of East India company however professional and technological superior can stop a practice. They could not have police whole of Bengal let alone india themselves. They can win major battles against a conventional army but no they cannot change a bad practice by conquerors decree. It will happen in secret. Every society has to reform itself .
Historically sati was never a forced thing. It happened rarely. Like 1 in million widow will commit sati that too with her own consent with family trying to dissuade her. And then entered missionaries 😂😂😂 They inflated data. Did propaganda. Now according to missionary data bad Hindus were doing sati everywhere and need to be civilized. 😂😂😂
Please try to learn the true origin of Sati culture. When India faced brutal invasions from foreign forces, women performed ‘Sati’ or ‘Jauhar’ so the invaders do not take them as sex slaves. Be aware that the Islamic invaders did not spare even a dead woman’s body. If I were in those woman’s shoes in those times I would immolate myself rather than getting in the hands of the brutal invaders. 🙏
MY HERO🙄 If you knew their history, India was invaded by Muguls(Muslims) for almost 800 years, Ones a husband died a women were treated horribly even their dead body was raped( SEX SLAVES) so they “choose” to burn themself than go through the pain. Its was not part of Hindu culture as he calls it, just READ their holy books they have library’s of it. ANYWAY tell me one thing??🤔 A group of people who had slaves, just for not doing work they would cut a foot of a slave’s CHILD? A group of people who had a history of burning 60 million women ALIVE just in the name of witch? Looted 45 Trillion dollars which British’s museum is FULL of? Somehow Invaded Bharat (India) for 200 years more? Wrote sign of ” NO INDIAN AND DOG ALLOWED” in their home land ? Killed and left millions hungry to die, more than Hitler. Came to save one women from Burning? 🤯WOw someone give him a Oscar!!History written proudly by this group of people.
Ha ha ha, I appreciate this man’s enthusiasm. baccha baazi, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pederasty, this is a Greco-Roman culture. East India Company did not build roads, irrigation canals and employ locals for benevolence, they did that out of greed, they did that because they can get more out of India in terms of taxes which went straight to the British and Dutch. If “East India Company” was honest why are they not returning the 1000s of artifacts that they looted from India which is now in British museum, Oh what about the Kohinoor Diamond, which they wear so proudly. Dont even get me started on the now defunct “Kolar Gold Mines”. Now coming to
Fact Check: According to Colonial British Survey there were only 89 cases of Sati in a span of 100 years before Sati was banned. Also, it was practiced mostly by one small community in western India. This article is making it seem as if it was practiced all over India which wasn’t the case. The story of Charles Naiper, is a false story. Charles landed in Calcutta India, which is in Eastern India but according to the British survey Sati was practiced in Western India, in the state of Rajasthan. If Sati was practiced all over India, the British wouldn’t have banned it fearing an uprising. British were able to ban sati because it wasn’t practiced by vast majority of Indians. British officers were honest in their reports on sati, it was the church that created the narrative that sati was practiced all over India, to get funding from naive Christians for conversion drives in India, which they failed miserably.
The hindu muslim slaying each other stopped by east india company he got it all wrong, Infact its the opposite thing they done by divide and rule the hindus and the muslims they got to rule india for 200 years. He should get his fact right before speaking so confidently about those issues,the rest stuffs he said are accurate.
