They would think that how conservative Indians have become.
- During Krishna’s time Gopi Girls used to bath nude in Yamuna, but now even a short skirt or tight jeans invites rape. Now to bath nude we need to visit nude beach in other countries.
- Marriage between cousins. Kunti who was sister of Vasudev and Krishna helped Arjun to kidnap Subhadra so that they can marry. Now they are killing daughter if they marry a guy of same gotra. But in South India marriage among maternal cousins still exists. We make fun of our muslim brothers for the same. I know it is bad and not good genetically. But my point is to oppose honour killing for same-gotra marriage.
- Virginity and premarital sex was accepted. Satyavati had pre-marital casual sex with Rishi Parashar and gave birth to Ved Vyas who wrote Mahabharat. So Satyavati was not virgin while marrying King Shantanu.
Bharat (Bharata (emperor) - Wikipedia) on whose name India is called Bharatavarsha was a love child born by premarital sex between King Dushyant and Shakuntala
- Polygamy and Polyandry no longer exists. Draupadi had 5 husbands and Pandu had 2 wives.
- Veil-system. There was no “veil-system” in Indian Culture. It was started as an impact of Islam. Till 19th century Indian women used to wear sarees only without petticoat and blouse. But Britishers did not like it and they introduced petticoat and blouse.
- Inter-caste marriage. It was already there. King Santanu who was Kshatriay married Satyavati who was daughter of a Fisher man. Pandu who was Kshatriya married Kunti who was daughter of Yadav King Shurasena (Shurasena - Wikipedia). When Arjun married Draupadi, he introduced himself as brahman. Shakuntala who was a Brahmin girl married Dushyant , who was a Prince a Kshatriya.
- Kundali Matching. Marriage were conducted in Swaymvar, without matching kundali. And now this has become a very big issue. Arjun married Draupadi by just hitting the target (a moving fish replica) without any discussion of kundali.
- Niyog-pratha. This is no longer in existence. Ved Vyas had sex with Ambika and produced Dhritrashtra, had sex with Ambalika and produced Pandu & had sex with a maid to produce Vidur.
- Love marriage was there with name “Gandharva Vivaah”. But now it is still a big issue in sub urban and rural India.
- Sex was not a taboo as we see in sculpture in Khajuraho. All type of sexual fantasy is depicted there. But now we blame it to porn and western culture.
- Surnames. How the hell this system of surnames started. Lord Ram was never called Ram Singh, Ram Chauhan or anything else. Lord Krishna was never called Krishna Yadav or anything similar. Chanakya was never called Chanakya Mishra/Upadhyay or anything else. Then how the hell this system of surnames started. And top of that change of surname after marriage. Complete useless thing.
- Using crackers on Deewali. When Lord Ram returned to Ayodhya, whole city was lit with oil lamps. But Crackers >: (
- Vegetarianism. How the hell people think that Hindus are vegetarians. If so why the hell there is a caste ‘fisherman’. Satyavati was daughter of a fisherman. They used to consume meat of deer, buffalo etc. Long ago they used to consume beef too. Still Hindus in Kerala consume beef. Just today I got to know from a very renowned astrology show “Kaal Chakra” that Lord Ram didn't eat non-veg in “Kaarthik Maas” ( month after October in Hindi calendar) which meant he did have non-veg on other days of month. Lord Shiva was insulted by Father of Sati who called Shiva “Aughadh” (priest who lives in a samshan ghat (crematorium) and eats burnt out human flesh) as Shiva was a non veggie and wore tiger skin.
- Last but not the least. Those who do not know about a single text about Sanatana Dharma becomes ‘Hindu Rakshak’, ‘Gau Rakshak’ etc.
This is what came to my mind. There are many more such facts.
