Prof Dr Colonel ( retired) K Prabhakar Rao
Poverty is very frightening indeed. It has no bounds and encircles all religions and communities. It has seriously affected communities irrespective of religions with respect to marriages of girls. In this respect the Muslim community in India has received greater attention by the media than others. Hyderabad as usual has been always in the news for adverse activities. This is probably due to the high strength of Muslims in the twin cities who are greatly concentrated in the old city which is their citadel. The Old city has been the nerve center for Muslims for the last many centuries and they are more concentrated in this walled city (Walls no more exist now although at some places dilapidated walls and fort gates are still there giving an antiquated look). Although there are rich Muslims in the old city, their strength is much less and poor families are sizeable and countless(1)
Partition of India in 1947 has adversely affected Muslims who remained in India after voting for creation of Pakistan based on religion. An air of mistrust has developed between the communities and Muslims have withdrawn from the main stream. Police action on Hyderabad in 1948 added fuel to the fire. The ruling King Mir Osman Ali Khan Bahadur (Brave), Fatehjung (Victor of battles) Nizam ul mulk Asifjah 7 was deposed after the military operation (Called Police action) by Indian union forces in September 1948. Nizam tried his best to remain independent and toed the line of Pakistan. Kasim Razvi the self styled Field Marshal of Razakar (Volunteers) forces misled the Nizam and the ruler became the puppet in his hands and fully abetted their gruesome activities. The Razakars resorted to the most atrocious crimes on the Hindu population that can not be even penned. They killed, maimed, raped women in mass, burnt houses, looted houses and trains in Hyderabad state and the Nizam’s Government abetted and boosted his actions by using police and military troops. (2). Although Razakars were disbanded later after deposing the king, most of them merged in society while many were killed in action.
The local Muslims suffered consequently from inferiority complexes in subsequent years and withdrew from society. Educationally they remained backward and education in Madrasa still remained the priority. Urdu had to be learnt to keep their identity and they kept away from modern education. (This is however changing of late).Most of the road side low paid jobs such as welders, Car dent repairers, painters, seat repair mechanics, lathe machine workshop owners, Mechanics, auto drivers, Tonga wallahs (Drivers of horse drawn two wheel carts in bye gone days), Car drivers, plumbers, tin smiths, tire and tube repairers, air inflators for car tires, lock smiths, Rickshaw ( Three wheel cycle carts) pullers, Cycle repairers, Motor cycle mechanics, petty hawkers, scrap dealers, Push car vendors comprise of Muslims who are very poor and uneducated. Added to the misery, multiple marriages as sanctioned by the holy text resulting in a high number of children (Family planning was never resorted to) complicated the social problem. The problem has become acute with no solution. As children grew, problems became more intensive and marrying them off became a night mare to the poor parents.
The Muslim society in India has been also influenced by Hindu customs and practices due to their coexistence for centuries. The evil of the dowry system that plagues Hindu society has also influenced Islam in India and dowry system has also become part of Muslim society in India. This has become further burden to poor parents in Hyderabad. With the fall of Nizam, the air of superiority among them also vanished and stark naked truths dawned in front of them. The local minority leadership resorted to more of politicking with a view on vote bank and did less to reduce their suffering. Religious passions were stoked by them and divisions further widened in the city and state (3).
Arab sheikhs from alien lands have surely exploited the situation and the middle men made money in the process. There are always sharks that make hay while the sun shines. The burden of getting the daughters married off forced the poor parents in to this direction and they fell prey to the lusty old shaggy Arabs who found the old city of Hyderabad as a golden mine for helpless girls.
The prevailing dowry system in Muslim society has added to the woes and poor parents have become helpless. Instead of paying to the bride groom, the parents receive money in exchange for giving the girl in marriage. Some call it selling the girl for money. The entire process is well organized in Hyderabad and it is well entrenched in society. The needs and helplessness of the poor parents are known to the locals and middle men who make contact with parents and exploit them. The Sheikhs who arrive in the city stay in local hotels and hunt for girls and soon are contacted by the middle men and a deal is struck. Most of the time a paltry sum is paid to the parents and Nikah is arranged. The Kazi (The Muslim priest) conducts the marriage and documents are prepared. Many times the girl’s age is altered and fake documents showing legal/acceptable age are prepared. Thus they try to escape from law.
Parents are happy that the girl is married off to a wealthy sheikh but tragedy awaits them soon. The old Sheikh fit to be a father or grand father to the girl consummates the marriage in some hotel and satisfies his lust. It is also not known how many of these old crooks from Arab lands suffer from HIV and other venereal ailments. In the darkness of night they probably pass on the ailments to the unsuspecting brides. There are instances when girls below 13 years are married off to Sheikhs as old as 70 years. However on documents age is shown correct as per provisions. Tragedy unveils on the families when they find that the Sheikh has disappeared all of a sudden leaving the girl to winds. In a recent case that came to light, an impoverished Muslim family married off their daughter to an Arab Sheikh for a meager amount of Rs. 5000 ( US $100), offered through a broker.
"He gave Rs. 5000, but it was all taken by the broker. My mother didn't get anything. I married him willfully, even though he was 50 years old," said a girl. Her dreams are all shattered as she has been abandoned by him (4).
There would be incidents when the girl becomes pregnant subsequently and there is no trace of the Sheikh who has vanished never to return. Earlier the sheikhs used to take the brides to their countries and invariably the girls suffered as maid servants and subjected to untold miseries, but that stopped when the Gulf nations restricted their citizens from bringing home a foreign bride unless they took prior permission from the authorities. As a result, instances of Arabs flocking to Hyderabad for a young bride continue.
The abandoned girl becomes a further burden to the parents. Such incidents are innumerable and their state is pathetic. Police has been keeping watch in these developments. But the social problem could not be eradicated. Kazis who perform Nikha are escaping the law owing to the provisions of scriptures. This has been a serious social problem in the poor Muslim families in Hyderabad and this can be eradicated only by better education and social unpliftmnet of the poor and family planning that has been a taboo among Muslims. The provisions in the scriptures are misused by unscrupulous elements and poverty abetted by lust has resulted in the most difficult situation among poor Muslims in the state. Although wide publicity was given to such incidents in the past the situation has not improved and the girls continue to suffer mocking at the society.

Add to this the on slaught of the secular scum bags, who lend their mothers and sisters, to these moslems,All in all it's a depressing scene and the confusion created by that rapist pedophile still haunts us even today
Dr. Rao, while I can
Dr. Rao, while I can understand your sympathising with the young Muslim girls of Hyderabad who are being sold as sex slaves to the rich Arabs, I fail to understand how the Hindu soceity is responsible for the evils in Muslims.
For example the Dowry system, is a scial custom and not mentioned anywhere in the cannonical texts.
When this system started it was meant as a loan to the bride for starting her new household. So basic hosehold utensils were provided to the bride so that she does not have to struggle for these initially. The bride was the sole owner of the dowry and not even her husband had any rights over it.
However in the trading communities, especially those in the Rajathan areas, the bride's father would give some money to the bridegroom, so that he could start his own buisness and hence be able to maintain the household.
I have never come across any refernces in history which show that this was an evil system. Just because this system has been manupulated in the recent times by a few unscruplous people, you cannot lay blame on the entire Hindu community for such actions.
Moreoever there has hardly been any give and take between Hindus and Muslims in terms of relative cultural exchanges. If you say there was an exchange, then why did'nt the Muslims pick up the love that a Hindu has for all creations of God. Why do Muslims mindlessly butcher humans and animals for their greed.
Why do Muslims not follow the philosphy of love and devotion to God rather than following the path of fear of God.
While I agree mostly with your article, I strongly believe that the Islamic dowry system has nothing to do with Hindus, as you will find Pakistani and Bangladeshi Muslims taking dowers. It has been more than sixty years since they have been living without Hindus around them, would you still say that they have been influenced by Hindu soceity.
Futhermore, Dr. Rao, I also
Futhermore, Dr. Rao, I also think that Muslims don't deserve your sympathies, as they do these things out of free will and feel quite happy in selling their daughters as sex slaves to the Arabs.
For Muslims, marriage is not a sacrament as is the case of Hindus and probabaly Christians. Its just a sex contract betwen a man and a wife, where the woman has to provide the man sexual favours while the man provides basic amenities to the woman.
Hence I dont think multiple marriages or having sexual relations with multiple men must be a very big issue for Muslim women as they are brought up with the idea that one day they will be sold off as sex slaves to a man or many many men.
# 3 sex slave in this world
# 3 sex slave in this world and the next world also.
I am not so quite sure if I
I am not so quite sure if I would say to hell with these muslimahs, as for no fault of theirs these muslimahs are being screwed and their parents are willingly and happily getting them screwed by the old haggards of sodi barbaria. These syphilitic, lice infested bastards of middle east are the worst lot, and even lot is more saintly! This was parting shot for the lot
Don't feel for the muslims in
Don't feel for the muslims in general and the indian muslims in particular, Mr. Rao.
When they follow a religion that enjoins upon them to treat others as enemies, then they deserve no sympathies from the others.
In any case, muslims' problems are self made.
Even after all these historical accounts of islam, even after all the recent events clearly pinpointing at islam, they are not willing to scrutinise their religion.
They deserve all that is happening to them, and much more.
The "much more" will come, and it will come in a bloody way and all too soon, mark my words.
PROUD KAFIR: You say you are
PROUD KAFIR: You say you are not sure whether it is the muslimah's fault that they are suffering.
I would say it IS very well their fault. How many of these muslimahs have questioned theri religion ? None. As far as I know, muslimahs are greater fanatics of islam, than the muslims.
Mad Mo was perfectly right when he said that women have no common sense. (of course, the muslim women)
I totally agree with
I totally agree with ANTIJIHAD. I am not saying this after reading some books. I have experienced the hateful nature of Muslimahs myself at different ocassions. Even during protest rallies Muslimahs are the most vocal of all.
Last year there was a major scandal in a small Indian town, when a group of Muslimah nurses began stealing new born Hindu babies from nursing homes and sold them off to whoever could pay the price. Atleast 60 children were reporting missing. These women when asked why they did so, their answer was plain that they were doing this for Islam.
There is a saying that while snakes are dangerous, female snakes are more danegrous.
I might sound racist or whatever, but this is a fact that Muslimahs are extremely dangerous creatures. Even during riots the Musliamhs help their men in killing Hindus women and children.
I guess they want their 72 hunks too!
The provisions in the
The provisions in the scriptures are misused by unscrupulous elements and poverty abetted by lust has resulted in the most difficult situation among poor Muslims in the state.
Dr. Rao, I am not sure why do you feel that the scriptures are misused by the mullahs/kazis. They are following the islamic laws in toto. You may have heard about misyar (temporary marriage)/misfar (travelling marriage). These people are providing those kind of marriages which are totally halal as per islamic laws.
You sound as if the parent is very ignorant about what he is entering into. He takes the money, so he has no doubt as to what he is trying to do with his daughter. He is prostituting his daughter to an Arab and he can later claim that he was "duped" when he dumps her. He may again do it if the money is right. The word "nikah" itself means penetration/ fu.ck.ing and is seen as a contract in the muslim world and not a union of two souls as in Indian culture.
The evil of the dowry system that plagues Hindu society has also influenced Islam in India and dowry system has also become part of Muslim society in India
Regarding dowry, the logic that muslims follow it due to Hindu influence sounds hollow. They have incorporated just about everything from Arabia and Arabs, so why don't they follow the system of Arabs in which "Meher" i.e. consideration for the "Nikah" contract is paid upfront by the groom side? All they would need is a few fatwas? Why are they unable to do it even after a millennium?
Why do Pakistanis also don't follow the Arabs in this regard? Did they not partition India to follow their Arab masters?
I don't mean to sound callous
I don't mean to sound callous and indifferent about the sorry plight of these impoverished Muslimas. However this is self-inflicted as they wilfully fail to see the obvious connection between their beloved cruel Islam which nurtures and feeds this misery and their present condition.
It resembles the connection between an abused woman and her male tormenter. When you tell such a woman to leave this abusive man, she actually makes excuses for him and says rubbish such as that it is not really his fault but hers and that she must have provoked him and she is therefore really at fault.
When it comes to Islam they will say similar things such as they deserve this punishment from their Allah because they are not good enough Muslims and therefore must submit more to their male lords and masters and other such tripe. It makes me feel like gagging when I hear such rubbish.
Also to these Indian Muslims the Arabs are their master race and it is an honor to be married to one of them, even if only for a night, and to bear a child with Arab blood in him.
Muslimas deserve every bit
Muslimas deserve every bit they get. I bet even after being screwed by HIV infected sodi arab they are ever devoted to this evil called islam. As said before most Muslimas pro-actively support murdering non-Muslims and have little respect for non-believers. However I think in the case of children who are 13 years old or less one cannot blame them. They are victims of Islam.
It resembles the connection
I have always wondered why most women are attracted to assho&^s. I read somewhere, it seems that evolution has prepared women for dominant males. The more aggressive and more dominant men are, women are more attracted to them. That is why ass$%^& get to enjoy more.
When ever I see the sad and
When ever I see the sad and bad news about daughters, it upsets me more than any news about sad plight of sons! That's because I have precious daughter! That apart, I do not blame the children of moslem scum bag parents and blame the parents, who so thoughtless ly produced children and even more callously handed over these children to sodi barbarians to treat them as way sid e vaginas. SHAME ON MOSLEMS, ISLAM AND MOHAMMAD. This copy paste monkey is perhaps one such by product?

This is a really good article
This is a really good article full of insight about the many problems that Islam creates. The depth of depravity inherent in Islam is truly deep. Sick, evil little Muhammad is like a cancer that kills the lives of Muslims. He has truly betrayed them.
Being born a poor and beautiful Muslim female in Hyderabad would be a burdensome curse full of danger and worries. Tragic. Islam is such a sick religion. Muhammad was truly deceitful. This cult must be abandoned.
Excellent, informative
Excellent, informative article. And heartbreaking video about the Afghan girl.
We now know about this unjust "trade" with innocent, powerless children or young girls, so how do we respond? If we point out that both the "buyers" and "sellers" are Muslims, no doubt Muslims and Leftists, or ignorant people who desire to be impartial, will immediately point out there is unjust behavior of other humans also and so this story about "selling girls in Hyderabad" is just an example of what humans are capable of, and religion has nothing to do with it. Which irritates and angers me, but it is up to us, to find a good, effective response to this reasoning too, I suppose.
At least we could ask Muslims to condemn the above-mentioned practice, to work towards good family planning, child-protection, good education and career-possibilities for girls, as well as for boys.
When in European countries working women want to have children they get a pregnancy-leave of several months. Child-care for working mothers is reasonably well arranged. I hope India and the whole world, including the Islamic countries are on the road to such a system too, even if it is now only a distant perspective.
When a society is keen on giving all its children a happy youth, good education + career-perspectives, good health-care, that means that the adults together must pay for it and put their energy in it. That in turn means it is better to have a good ratio between adults and children that allows adults to take care of all children properly, so not too many children for too few adults to take care of.
That means that it should NOT be solely up to parents (or their religious advisers) to get more than say 3 children, unless they are so rich they can afford to give children a proper happy upbringing. Hence the importance of family-planning. And although I will allow for ignorance and circumstances beyond control, such as extreme poverty, it is highly religio-centric of Muslims when they, from among their highest clerical leaders, resist family-planning. Instead overtly or covertly striving to expand Islam through large families.
But maybe the picture is more complicated than I can fathom.

The Arab Sheikhs are not
The Arab Sheikhs are not doing something not practised by their evil Profit Muhammad. They read the hadiths on Aisha-Muhammad pedophilia episodes. They think "if our Messenger could marry a 6 yr old girl, why not us". Moreover, they see Asian Muslims with disdain.
Rationalist What you said is
Rationalist
What you said is true to a very great extent. Followers do same thing what their spiritual masters did.It is also true that Arabs consider Muslims of sub continent inferior and guys in India ( Muslims) consider Arabs as superior and probabaly consider it a pestige too have a sheikh as a son in law.Hence the problem too. It is not onesided problem. No other religion recommends such exploitation of small girls and Islam looks otherway and no discussion among them is allowed.It is the saddest part of them

Dr. Rao,
You have given only part of the story.Islam ordains to sell a girl in
marriage. Let me tell you,Mohammed Ali Jinnah, who is the son of
a convert Kathiawari Poonja, who grew up more or less as non Muslim
in London became father of the Pakistan Nation.While he practiced in
Bombay his secretary was Abba, his son Gulu Abba, a lawyer married
an Anglo Indian got children.He sold his daughter for Rs.50,000 to
an Anglo Indian relative in marriage! Gulu Abba worked with Bombay
Congress leader Sadoba Patil, edited his Socialist Democracy Weekly.
As for Hyderabadi Muslim girls, they are picked up from street by
Mullahs,who make an affidavit saying they are guardians of the girls
with legal right to sell them in marriage.These girls land up in Saudi
Arabia as domestics without salary and suffer.
Upper and lower middle class Hyderabadi girls are better off being educated.They do a good lot of social work. My hats off to them.
But Hyderabadi bearded mullah are devils/shaitans. Their stories are
different. Do not confuse. Prostitution in Andhra Pradesh not new.The
whole of Bombay Kamati Pura and Shuklaji street,Foras Road
Golpitha etc is populated by these Hindu slave girls. Even communist
politicians go seeking their votes.Reddy couple, both communists,
Linganna Pujary, Congress all operated there.
Sex workers have all faith freedom Hindus or Muslims.The owners
these sex cages are Afghani/Pakistani Pachthun Pathans.Both Hindu
Mullahs and Muslim Mullahs deserve no sympathy.They are follow
Bhagavadgita and are Karmayogis.Damn it._kubala 28-06-2009

Which part of Bhagwat Gita did those Karam yogis follow? I would be grateful if you could kindly enlighten us as to where has the Bhagwat Gita prescribed those things?
#22. Dr.Rao, I was wondering
#22. Dr.Rao, I was wondering if there are any Muslim groups in India that have protested the atrocities perpetrated on innocent Muslim girls. Has any Sheikh been convicted by the India court so far?

Hello everybody here Dont
Hello everybody here
Dont know why you people always think that you are superior , although u all know that your religion is just a myth. I dont say that muslims in this century is backward but if you know the history abt islam real history not where your authors tried to explain islam , not where your people tried to manipulate quran and give it a new meaning read the original quran and in it you have all the answers hope you all understands islam and someone who said that muslims deserves what they are getting today i think he is right , ALLAH said when you will forget me i will forget you and there will be someone to rule you, and its happening now . muslims these days following western culture and is away from the teaching of islam . so ALLAH is not supporting them but my dear friend soon everything will be ok . coz every muslim inthis world have realised that without ALLAHs support and mercy they are nothing . Beware Muslims days ahead
