The fundamentalist, religious mindset originating from Arabia first stepped on the borders of India in 712. It was opposed by the armed forces of many warriors like Bappa Rawal, Lalitaditya Muktapida, Nag Bhatt, as a result of which India remained safe from the poison of Islam for hundreds of years. Due to continuous wars, the religious forces became helpless and kept running away after losing the war. The Indian heroes saved the honor of Mother India but perhaps destiny had something else in store. As a result of the discipline of the Rajputs in following the war rules, India was caught in Islamic chains but the social opposition never stopped. Against these Jihadi ideas, Indian heroes sacrificed themselves from time to time to fill the skull of Mother Kali. In this storm of social and religious opposition, the flag of foreign Islam was uprooted, on which Maulana Khwaja Altaf Hussain Hali writes:
Hijaz ke majhab ka hathi yudhak beda,
Anni pataka Sankar ke Har kone mein le gaya,
Jisne bhay ko badha mana hi nahi
Na fars ki khadi, na Lal samunder mein Jo jhuka
Jisne Saat samunder nidar Paar kiye
Haa, Vo (Islam) ka yudhak beda Ganga ke muhane Makar door gaya.
(Book: Maharana, Author: Omendra Ratnu)
Meaning:
“The fighting fleet of the religion of Hijaz,
took its flag to every corner of the world,
which did not consider fear as an obstacle,
neither hesitated in the Persian Gulf, nor in the Red Sea,
which crossed the seven seas fearlessly,
yes, that (Islamic) fleet sank at the mouth of the Ganges.”
The above lines depict the ideological defeat of Islam in front of Indian society. The Islam which swallowed up many countries like Persia, Egypt, lost in front of India’s strong and ideological opposition.
Islam spread in the Middle-Eastern countries and North Africa in decades. Any community, caste or country, whether Persia, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Byzantine or Europe, all struggled socially and ideologically but surrendered and accepted conversion. But it is the Indian subcontinent which opposed the religious ideology in an armed and ideological manner. Every section of Indian society participated in it. While men were serving religion and nation in a strong war, on the other hand, women promoted social revolution through the practice of Jauhar.
The basis of social protest
Jauhar was the supreme sacrifice of Hindu women in rejecting Islamic incest, through which it was made clear that Indian women are not objects of exchange. Rajput princesses led women of every Hindu caste to jump into the funeral pyre along with their children. The protest of Indian women will be written in golden letters in the dark history of the religious ideology whose history is full of sexual exploitation of women and children.
Jauhar became such a weapon through which the message was given to the Jihadi robbers that Indian women under the leadership of Rajput princesses are proud to immolate themselves rather than become their pleasure slaves. The incident of Jauhar inspired the Hindu people of the nation to never surrender, never accept subjugation. Indian women showed the way to sacrifice themselves for India by breaking away from their own attachments. This Chandi Samman form of Indian women society is actually an example of women empowerment.
Timeless event
Jauhar was not a momentary but timeless event. It went beyond its own boundaries because even centuries later, the mention of Jauhar forces us to think about a wonderful resolution in today’s time. The main reason for the survival of Hindu religion even after Jihadi attacks was Jauhar, because women thought it right to sacrifice themselves instead of becoming objects of pleasure for Jihadis. This feeling ended every possibility of men’s honour being trampled by the forced robbers and Jauhar mentally made men steel, due to which Rajput warriors used to attack the Islamic army like death.
The first Saka of Jauhar took place in 1303 under the leadership of Maharani Padmini, because the lustful Khilji’s army from Afghanistan had no other option left. Women had decided that the Afghans should not be able to defile their bodies even after death, so the path of self-immolation was chosen. Maharani Padmini of Chittor, along with about 25,000 other women, sacrificed herself by self-immolation, slapping the cruel invaders with self-respect.
The second act of Jauhar took place in 1535 due to the attack of Bahadur Shah of Gujarat, in which Maharana Sanga’s wife Maharani Karnavati along with about 13,000 other women committed Jauhar and about 32,000 soldiers sacrificed their lives in the war.
These incidents of Jauhar made women the leader of social revolution, in which Indian society got a new direction and message that in a religion-based war, every Hindu should have the spirit of sacrifice so that when the time comes, the future generation can also be inspired by sacrificing. The embers flying from the flames of Jauhar ended all possibilities of bowing down by opposing these barbaric forces.
Mental state of men
When Indian women decided to commit Jauhar for self-respect during the strong revolution, all men and gurus turned themselves into stone and distanced themselves from all kinds of emotions so that the feelings of women towards Jauhar do not weaken. The last embrace of love was a feeling of extreme happiness, the feel and fragrance of the soft bodies of daughters was soul-stirring.
Men were sad because they had to helplessly support Jauhar, but they were sure that now the stench of any cruel mlechha would not fall on the women of their family and society. Knowing the feeling of losing everything in Jauhar, Rajput warriors used to hunt mlechha like hungry lions and used to end their life journey like a warrior by fighting and attaining martyrdom in the protection of the land of India.
False narrative on Jauhar
The main reason for Jauhar was said to be the defeat of Rajputs by leftist historians. According to them, Hindu women should have surrendered and lived their lives as pleasure slaves instead of choosing their own death by self-immolation. This view of leftist intellectuals is an insult to self-respect and freedom, for which self-immolation was done. The whole world, except the Hindus of India, thought it right to surrender and become a slave, but the Indians rejected slavery and fought and embraced death.
In the narrative based on Jauhar, men started calling them drug addicts on the consumption of opium. Now look at that period with your discretion when the Rajput men were preparing pyres to burn their own mothers, sisters, wives and daughters alive, even the hardest hearted would become numb once. If in such a situation, Indian Rajputs used opium to stabilize their mentality, then what was the harm in it. Calling them drug addicts is an insult to our ancestors, who carried the memory of unbearable sacrifices and fought on the orders of the king in the battlefield to protect the land of India. In those times, opium was also the main source of relieving the pain of injuries to the warriors, which remained prevalent till the Second World War.
The incidents of Jauhar by Indian women exposed the disgusting thinking of orthodox jihadi elements (mlechhas) to the society. Women’s decision for self-respect was propagated and inspiration was given to sacrifice when the time came. Leftist historians, while writing the history of appeasement, buried Jauhar, which gave direction to social revolution, under the burden of lies, as a result of which Indian women who are unaware of their glorious history, are nowadays falling prey to disgusting Islamic tricks like love jihad. The future generation of women who performed Jauhar to save their honour, come under the influence of secular and European open-mindedness and form love relationships with muslim boys, which is an insult to the deeds given by the ancestors in the past. The years were spent, but the mindset of these people will reamin same, that is still forced conversion centric. Now the present is the time in which the young generation should be taught about the real history of India so that no indian becomes the puppet of European’s approach.
