00:00slavery in india
00:03While explaining the importance of Indian culture, it is often said that this culture has been based on equality.
00:12Here, unlike Rome or America, man was not made a slave of man.
00:18Here, unlike cows and buffaloes, humans were not sold in markets.
00:24Swami Vivekananda had also said this very clearly.
00:29There is praise of Indian culture here but it is false.
00:34Slavery has been prevalent in India from the Rigveda to the present day.
00:39Although a law criminalizing slavery was passed in 1843
00:47The Rigveda reveals that the Aryans defeated the native inhabitants and enslaved them.
00:54And they called them Dasa Gasuva Shudra.
00:58These slaves and slave girls were given gifts in large numbers.

01:34It is mentioned in Atin itself that King Harishchandra had no children.
01:38Eight, he prayed to the god Varuna, who was pleased and said,
01:44You will have children, but you will have to make sacrifices for them.
01:48A son named Rohit was born to Raj Mahishi. The king sent a horse to Ajigartha to fulfill the promise he had made to Varuna.
01:55Rishi's son Shunahshep was bought for sacrifice.
01:59Even today, devotees buy goats and chickens for sacrifice.
02:05This story holds so much importance in Indian culture that it is mentioned in many religious texts.

02:24Branching 15 by 17
02:27Even in the Upanishads, which are considered to be the treasure trove of Brahmavidya and the soul of Indian philosophy, there is mention of the donation of slaves and slave girls.
02:35There are references
02:37In the Chandogya Upanishad, a Brahmaveta Rishi, after accepting the daughter of a king as a slave,
02:44Brahma gives knowledge to that king.
02:48In the Grahya Sutras, there is a discussion about appointing slaves to wash the feet of respected guests.
03:24That means a total of 26,040,000 slaves have been donated.
03:48This is a donation given by one person.
03:52It is not known how many crore slaves there were in the rest of India at that time.
03:57Yes, it can be guessed.
04:01Mahabharata Adiparva 220 reveals that at the time of marriage, the sons-in-law were to give their daughters along with
04:09Other arts and slave girls were also given as gifts.
04:13Krishna gave Arjuna, among other things, as dowry for his sister Subhadra.
04:18Beautifully dressed and adorned with gold ornaments
04:23He was given one thousand well-decorated women, fair complexioned with small hairs and skilled in service.

04:44Like Arjuna was given 1000 women in marriage in the form of maids and concubines besides his wife.
04:52Similarly, apart from Sita, Janaka had gifted a hundred daughters and maids to Rama.

05:30The dowry was so huge that it cannot be described.
05:36The pavilion was filled with gold and gems.
05:39There were elephants, rats, horses, slaves and slave girls.
05:43And there were many cows like Kamadhenu, adorned with ornaments.
05:49Women as gifts
05:51Although it was also given as a gift to men
05:54or was sold
05:56and p this is indisputable
05:58that more women than men
06:01This work was used
06:03Today, men are kept as slaves only in some places.
06:07But the donation of a girl is still prevalent throughout India.
06:11It is done without any emotion and the icing on the cake is that it is done in a modern fashion and is full of pride and English.
06:19Even the girls who speak never raise their voice against being given away as donation, I don't know what is the reason behind it.
06:28women's freedom program
06:29Why was it not included in the According to ancient Indian thinkers, a girl born in a family is considered to be an ornament
06:38It is similar to that which is pledged to a moneylender and is returned to its real owner when demanded.
06:45is given a swig
06:46It is mentioned in the Mahabharata that sage Galav had to give eight hundred horses to his guru Vishwamitra as gurudakshina.
06:55Then he went to King Yayati, who did not give him eight hundred horses but did give him his daughter.
07:02Di and said that this famous person
07:23That is, O Lord, this is my daughter, she is extremely beautiful and is endowed with all the qualities, there is no one like her in the three worlds.
07:33There is no one who does not wish to accept it. It has captivated all the gods, demons, Aryans and non-Aryans.
07:41the unprecedented power of
07:44I offer this daughter of mine to you.
07:47You can easily collect Gurudakshina by selling it to any king.
07:54Taking that bill of exchange from the king, the sage went to Ayodhya king Haryashva and asked him for 200 rupees in the form of Shulg.
08:02He took the horse and left Yayati's daughter Madhavi at her place.
08:06He said to the king, "You should give birth to a son from this."
08:13Industry 116 by 15 He had a son
08:19Later, Rishi took Madhavi from Raja and found a new client.
08:24Now the pimp went to King Divodas and there too, in exchange for 200 horses, he gave Madhavi a son.
08:32gave it to Divodasa to produce
08:36Industry 117 by 7 Then he took it from there and went to King Ushinar.
08:44There he offered Madhavi to the king for the sake of his happiness to bear two sons in exchange for 400 horses.
08:51Many types of slaves
08:53The Arthashastra of Kottala tells us in detail about the slaves and slaves.
09:00He has made many gifts to slaves
09:03like a flagellant captured in war
09:07Two self-sellers became slaves because they sold themselves in times of trouble.
09:14Three-belly slave born from the womb of a female slave
09:17Banadas was arrested for not being able to pay back four financial loans.
09:21like today's bonded labourers
09:24and Banadas because of the five-pronged scepter
09:29The following seven types of slaves have been mentioned in Manusmriti
09:33A prisoner of war made a meal for two
09:36Three slave sons, four purchased

11:02Kautilya's Arthashastra reveals that slaves were sold, mortgaged and killed.
11:09could have been done
11:11They were treated inhumanely and could not go to any court to seek justice.
11:19Kautilya has written that every independent family must have a child born from the womb of a slave woman.
11:28Tortured slave life
11:30The life of slaves was very painful.
11:34They were often sick
11:37Often they had no choice but to run away from their master.
11:43But running away would have been very costly for them.
11:47State officials pursued runaway slaves
11:51And they would catch him and hand him back to the master.
11:55a person who mortgages himself to someone
12:00If he ran away in fear, he would be made a slave for life.
12:06mortgaged to someone by someone else
12:10He was made a slave for life after running away twice
12:16The masters themselves used to violate the chastity of the slaves and also offered them to others.
12:23In those days, people often sold themselves or their families in times of financial crisis.
12:31This is what happened to the famous King Harishchandra.
12:34He had to sell his wife, children and finally himself (see Markandeya Purana Chapter 8)
12:43The children of such people were also considered slaves of that buyer.
12:49Many people became slaves even after being able to pay the royal penalty.
12:55A rule was made for them that if the fine was so much then they would have to work as slaves for so and so time.
13:02do it
13:03Slaves were bought from one person to another or were auctioned in the market
13:11The famous Sanskrit drama Michch Tikam, written in the second or third century AD, describes the scene of a similar market.
13:19Has been done
13:21A person is unable to return the money he has borrowed from another person.
13:25He beats him up, takes him to the market, and auctions him to recover his money.
13:34Apart from running away, another way for a slave to be freed was to buy a slave for a price.
13:40have gone
13:40He would give that amount to the master, but the master considered whatever money the slave had as his own and
13:47was seizing
13:49In such a situation, would he have any way to escape?
13:54Das had only two ways to get the desired money.
13:58One is stealing, two is luring free people and selling them to someone.
14:04But they were severely punished for committing such crimes.
14:09Secondly, if there were any slaves who somehow managed to arrange for money,
14:14So the owners were reluctant to accept it as dead value.
14:19And they would make demands that were impossible for them to fulfill, and as a result, they were forced to become slaves.
14:27Use to live
14:29buying and selling of slaves
14:31Aryabhata writing down calculation problems in his mathematics book
14:37The buying and selling of slaves has been mentioned as if they were merely objects for sale.
14:43For example, today there are questions in children's mathematics books that the value of a dozen oranges is 75 paise.
14:51If yes, then what will be the price of one and a half dozen?
14:55Similarly, Aryabhata has written that a 16 year old maid is available for 32 nishkas in an old coin.
15:03What would a 20-year-old slave cost?
15:06How were slaves made to work? The Smritis provide a wealth of information on this subject.
15:14Narada Smriti mentions that slaves were made to do the following dirty jobs: one, sweeping the house, two, cleaning dirty pits,
15:22Cleaning the paths and dung sites, scratching or touching the three private parts, picking up four leftover food and excreta
15:30Tax

15:43Tata Hai, Inauspicious Karma, Vigyayam, Narada Smriti
15:49From four to six, Hindu gods and goddesses, animals and birds, and even their evils are divided on the basis of caste.
15:59And they have the stench of Brahmanism, slavery is no exception.
16:06Yagyavalkya Smriti 2.183 and Narada Smriti 49 state that Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudra are all three
16:16The Varnas can be slaves of Brahmins and Vaishyas and Vasudras can be slaves of Kshatriyas.
16:22But a Kshatriya cannot be the slave of a Vaishya or a Shudra, and a Vaishya cannot be the slave of a Shudra.
16:28According to Katyayana, a Brahmin cannot be the slave of another Brahmin.
16:34But if he has to, he will do holy work, not the dirty work mentioned above
16:40Devadasi system
16:43Another form of the tale has been around for centuries.
16:47She is a Devadasia
16:49Devadasis live in temples, especially in South Indian temples.
16:55These are the girls who are sacrificed in temples by their parents in their childhood.
17:02That's where she grows young
17:06They are married to the deity or his lifeless idol.
17:12Some of these beautiful women become objects of pleasure for the priests.
17:19She earns her living by satisfying the sexual desires of other people, including pilgrims who come to visit the Shesh Dev.
17:28In the Chingleput district of Tamil Nadu, it is a custom among the Koris, the weavers, to place their biggest idol somewhere.
17:36Somewhere the fifth girl was offered in a temple.
17:39The girl thus donated is called Mural in Maharashtra and Vasab in Telang.
17:48In Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra, she has different names like Yogini, Bhavani, Kalavanthi, Devali, Jogati, Matangishan etc.
17:58In some parts of the South and West, even widows are offered as donations to gods and goddesses and religious institutions.
18:05was given
18:06Those unhappy women are living a hellish life there, becoming victims of the lust and sexuality of demons, whether associated with these institutions or not.
18:16was forced to spend
18:19There was another form of Devadasis.
18:22That was selling girls to temples.
18:26Big groups of such girls lived in temples.
18:31Like the Devadasis, boys were also often offered as sacrifices to temples in northern India.
18:37This versatile form of the story has also been protected by Hindu religious texts.
18:44It is said in Bhavishya Purana that whoever donates the samo of women to the temple will be blessed by the Sun people.
18:50will be received
18:51Due to the false allure of attaining this Surya Lok, Indian culture kept offering girls in temples.
18:59When Ghazni plundered the Somnath temple, there were five hundred Devadasis there.
19:07Similarly, there were 400 Devadasis in the Tanjore temple.
19:11Chinese travelers saw Devadasis in Hindu temples at various places.
19:17A European traveller, Mr Pais, wrote about the Devadasis after his visit to Vijayanagara.
19:24That the daughters of Devdasis are also the property of the temple.
19:30Although the Devadasi system has been declared illegal by law since August 14, 1956, yet this practice continues for some reason or the other.
19:38Present in some form in Hindu temples.
