- A serpent, whether male or female, if it comes to bite must be killed. The enemy women, who enforced conversion and heaped all sort of humiliation on our mothers and sisters, had by that very devilish act, lost their womanhood and their right to chivalrous treatment, and deserved nothing but only the most stringent punishment for their atrocious crimes. Hence, when Tratika, the she-demon marched on Ramchandra with other demons, he killed her immediately, without a moment’s thought. When Shoorpanakha, another she-demon, rushed to eat away Seeta like cucumber, Laxman deprived her of nose and ears and sent her back—not honourably with generous gifts of ornaments, to show off his chivalay to women! When Narakasur carried away thousands of Aryan women to his Asur kingdom (Assyria of today), Shree Krishna marched upon the demon and killed him in the war. But he did not stop with military and political defeat he inflicted on Narakasur! He rescued all the thousands of imprisoned Aryan females, undergoing all sorts of humiliation there and brought them back to his own kingdom; and thus took a social revenge! Shree Krishna’s army did not forsake their kinswomen, simply because they were forcibly polluted and violated—a dastardly thought that he never entertained for a minute. On the contrary, Shree Krishna as the Bhoopati—the Lord of the whole Earth— brought all those sixteen thousand or more women to his kingdom, rehabilitated them honourably and took upon himself, the responsibility of feeding and protecting them. This very act of Krishna, as the Bhoopati has been fantastically construed by the writers of the Puranas as to describe him the husband of those thousands of women. He was later thought to have married all of them.
- In the post-Puranik period, whenever our valiant and victorious princes vanquished the enemies like the Yavan, Shaka or Hun commandants, kings or emperors on the battlefield, they invariably married the enemy princesses. This seems to have been the tradition prevalent right from Chandragupta Maurya to the Gupta Emperors! Shalivahan kings too married Saka princesses. Not only our victorious kings but all Hindus, right from the Samants (feudatory princes) to common citizens, married unhesitatingly the Yavan, Saka or Hun women. The nation was valiant enough to absorb not only the progeny of those enemy-women, but the whole enemy communities in their own, and leave no trace of their origin behind.
