Slavery intrinsic to Arab Culture?

[Kushan Prince]

Sure there are in every major city in Afghanistan. There are Sikh communities in khost, gardez, Jalalabad, Kandahar, ghazni and so on. Ahmed shah brought Sikhs as "nafar hezmat" who were used to take care of horses and other odd jobs much like how the brits used Sikhs and hindus when they invaded Afghanistan. The vast majority of the british army that were slaughtered that were trekking from Kabul to Jalalabad were hindu and Sikh "nafar hezmats."

Stop making things up like this rtr fool.

So you admit this was slavery? if not what was it then? not labourers thats for sure. RTR maybe a complete idiot but you are in denial.

This article answers about sikhs, they came mostly as traders or because of british military campaigns

Also about slavery, that probably happened, but not to an extent you are claiming. There are no sources, only some nationalist hindu sources who often create false image of muslims. No one is denying the crimes muslim rulers committed, but a lot of times those things are exaggerated

I'm not saying it was industrialized or official like the arab slave trade but it still happened. I don't see why indians would lie about this, the fact that they still have respect for Pashtuns even though the durranis raped and enslaved them show that they have a big heart.

And wikipedia is a western source and isn't really reliable so it should be dismissed.

those nafar hezmats were not bought and sold like cattle as rtr is claiming. he says its intrinsic to Pashtun culture as it is to arab culture and European culture where people were bought and sold and traded like commodity. Forced labor is a different matter. POW's were always forced into labor.

durrani atrocities are fairy tales made up by the brits to convince the Indians that the white man saved them from the afghans. There are no primary sources of those fairy tales.

But i wasn't assuming that now was i? one may consider south asian labourers in the arab gulf as slavery so how can this rule not apply for sikhs?

Bro pashtuns are humans and they made mistakes back then like everyone else. It was war, i'm sure many of these sikhs could have been war captives and treated like slaves and forced to work for the higher elite in afg.

sure you were. that is why you have a reading comprehension problem.

maybe they were so whats your point? You have accusation problems.

[khushal]

the point is that slavery is not intrinsic to Pashtun culture as it is to arab and European culture.

Oh khodaya help me, i NEVER SAID IT WAS learn to freaking read! i said it was practised among pashtuns but not to a grand scale nor was it industrialized.

Do you understand now? i think your the one with reading comprehension problems.
