Comfort woman: Past and present

[Darmashkian]

Yes, I know some history of the Rajput Kingdoms, in fact i've some friends who are Rajasthanis , surname of 'Rathore'? Sounds familiar? Rajasthan -- does that not mean 'Land of Kings' ?

Haven't learned much of the Satavahanas, the Vijayanagaram Kingdom. Vijayanagaram --- the name sounds very familiar to the Sumatran-based Sri Vijayan Empire. Is the Vijayanagaram somewhat situated in present day Tamil Nadu ? As for Marathan Empire --- of course ! The last Indian Empire prior to the British take over, yes? Plus, I really admired the great battles between the Marathas and the Moghuls !

PS.

Yep Rathore is a Rajasthani Upper Caste surname.. And Rajasthan does mean the 'Land of Kingdoms.'

And regarding the Satavahanas :- They were an Empire formed by Telugu speaking Kings in South India who were once vassals to the mauryas. They played a crucial role to protect a huge part of India against foreign invaders like the Sakas & the Pahlavas
Satavahana dynasty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Empire at it's height

And the Vijayanagaram Empire was another great Empire of South India
The empire rose to prominence as a culmination of attempts by the southern powers to ward off the Islamic invasionw ehich were sponsored/encouraged by Islamic invaders from the North by the end of the 13th century.
It lasted until 1646 although its power declined after a major military defeat in 1565 by the Deccan Sultanates. The Empire was named after the capital city of Vijayanagara which is in present-day Karnataka.

The EMpire at it's height.

Vijayanagara Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And here is the statue of it's greatest King & one of India's greatest rulers-- Krishna Deva Raya.

The origins of both these empires & their rulers are closely related to the Kannadiga & the Telugu People & Culture (Karnataka, AP, Telangana) & NO their origins are not from TN nor are they related to the Sri-Vijaya Empire of Indonesia.

And regarding the Maratha Empire, I trust you must have read of Shivaji Maharaj

Do research upon Krishna Deva Raya & Shivaji Maharaj

Both of them are very popular figures in Indian History & especially in their respective states.
Shivaji Maharaj is very popular in Maharashtra & almost a Demi-God figure for the marathi people.

And KrishnaDeva Raya is extremely popular among the Telugu People(of Andhra Pradesh) & the Kannadiga people. Boh of them praise him & consider him as a hero/patron of their language & culture.
Even today many historians & academicians debate of the fact onto whether he was Telugu or Kannadiga
Krishnadevaraya was Telugu: V-C - The Hindu
Krishnadevaraya belongs to Andhra, claims VC

And both of them are especially popular among those Indians who are proud of their glorious past & Hindu culture

P.S.:- Both of them especially Shivaji are popular with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh(a nationalist organisation which is the largest voluntary org. on the planet).. Many politicos in the BJP which governs India can be called as alumni/members of the RSS including the PM-Modi himself.

There are evidence to show that most comfort women engage in volunteery transaction though a minority of them could be coerce. Comfort women might be recruited from existing career prostitute.

Japan army did paid them handsomely as shown, 60x above the income of nurse.

So we must be careful in bashing Japan.

Saying that Comfort women are indiscriminately sex slave or war rape victim may not be entirely right.
