The soul always knows how to heal itself, the challenge is to silence the mind.

@nayanikaaa @PoojaPriyam_ Women who got raped in Partition lived afterwards, most were brought back to India.

@nayanikaaa @PoojaPriyam_ Fight. And many raped women were brought back by their families including my family. Indian Government also got them back.

Being raped is not end of the World.

A rich, old and full-fledged language, Awadhi was branded as just a dialect of Hindi.

@raminder_a @ReallySwara They did commit Saka.

[Deepali @Dipdil]

I understand. However, I was recently in a Twitter Space where people were calling queens and princesses who became prisoners of war “cowards” simply because they survived. The opposite extreme is equally problematic.

Yes, some women did not commit Jauhar but their survival does not imply that they willingly accepted slavery.

[Deepali @Dipdil]

Swara Bhaskar should not be condemned, she raises a valid point. After Partition, many survivors of sexual violence faced shame and humiliation with many even abandoned by their own families. Many of these women sought refuge in Dharamshalas, Gurdwaras and government shelters.

Anyways when it comes to Medieval world, Indian history also gives us examples of women who resisted and fought invading armies. When Delhi Sultan Khilji forces invaded Sindh and demanded beautiful Princess Bilqis Baghi, she chose to fight and die alongside her brother in the battlefield. Her story also reminds us that Muslim princesses also suffered at the hands of the imperial Delhi Sultanate as well.
