protest in NY against indian diplomat

[Gandhi G in da house]

Extremely disappointed in some of the belligerent comments here from some Indians. I honestly expected better...

So did we.

Stop exposing you stupidity and dishonesty with an utterly biased reading of history.

The leader of the burgeoning Swaminarayan sect, Sahajanand Swami, was influential in the eventual eradication of sati. He argued that the practice had no Vedic standing and only God could take a life he had given. He also argued that widows could lead lives that would eventually lead to salvation. Sir John Malcolm, the Governor of Bombaysupported Sahajanand Swami in this endeavor, whose domino effect led to other social reforms.[30]

From about 1812, the Bengali reformer Raja Rammohan Roy started his own campaign against the practice. He was motivated by the experience of seeing his own sister-in-law being forced to commit sati. Among his actions, he visited Calcutta cremation grounds to persuade widows against immolation, formed watch groups to do the same, and wrote and disseminated articles to show that it was not required by scripture.

From the same link, Btw.

Point stands.British intervention was needed to put a stop to it.

Maybe this way you would understand that while some indians practiced Sati,others were against it just like some americans had slaves while others were against such practices.

You may know slavery was non-existent in our society throughout history except for practiced by foreign invaders. Greek ambassador Megasthenes in 300BC wrote that he saw no slaves in India.

The caste system is equally appaling.

Because British were ruling India so their intervention was needed, those were the days of Hindu reformation, Raja Rammohan Roy thoughts were ahead of the time.

Speculative history.We would never know when Sati would have been abolished if the brits weren't there.
What we know is that white americans fought other white americans and ended slavery.

Ofcourse , British were ruling India at that point so we could have never outlawed Sati without their support.

On the other hand, the British introduced regressive laws like the anti-gay laws in India which we are still struggling to remove today.

Laws that were changed in the UK once they got enlightened.

I don't think the brits stopped you from changing those laws in India in the last 50 years.

What do you mean by equally caste system was bad but slavery was still worst.

 

[PiyaraPakistan]

Right way to treat Americans keep it up, bitter reality but Pakistan should learn from this.

For this bold step/action i am with indians.

 

[Jayanta]

Yes! Because while white americans ended slavery by themselves you actually needed the british to hang some indians to end appaling practices like Sati

So now white Americans will teach a lesson to us on slavery ?

Biggest joke of the last 4 centuries

When was the last slave held legally by a White man? 150 years ago.

When was the last slave held by an Indian? Right now
