Re: Had Muslims not invaded India?

One of many new ideas:

Liberation of women when Sati like horrible, inhumane practice against women who had their husbands died were forced, taught, or compelled to die with their husbands. Just one of many examples. Long before India came up with the idea of banning Sati, Muslim rulers said enough is enough.

Please get educated before making obviously ignorant comments.

Banning of Sati is not a new idea created by the muslim rulers. The vedas had a ban against it a longer time ago. Actually according to the wiki,“the practice of Sati was revived most notably during the muslim invasions ofIndia”. The same is true of Jauhar in the Rajputs. Because the muslims did not treat with honour the women of the defeated and took them as slaves and war booty unlike the hindu kings the practice of Jauhar was started. There was no Jauhar when 2 hindu kings fought each other.The practice of Sati was banned ultimately because of reformers like Raja Ram Mohan Roy ith the help of viceroys. Maybe some of the muslim rulers tried to ban it but that was not a new or innovative idea and the practice of Sati was in one way linked to their rule. In this way this was one of the non-benefits of Muslim invasions = The status of women took a nose dive. I would really love to hear some innovative benefits , achievement and ideas during the Muslim rule that was newly inspired and did not exist before. Your reply to my post does not answer the question Diwana.
