Child marriage NEVER EXISTED in Hinduism. It is of your own fabrication. There is not one single case of child marriage in all the stories of Puranas etc, while on the other hand there are plenty of stories of girls and women who freely chose their mates.
Child marriage was largely the result of the Musl¡n invasion in India. The Musl¡n invaders and other j¡had mullahs quite often kidnapped beautiful Hindu girls. Under the circumstances the-Hindu parents thought it desirable to take to child marriage.
Similarity, Sati started after the invasion of the musl¡ns. Most of the Musl¡n used to acquire woman forcefully, mostly raping and molesting them. This caused fear in most h¡ndu woman, not because of death, but to loose their SATITVA.
It started with the royal woman, mostly in groups where the royal woman use to burn their bodies in fire to protect their SATITVA.
There is not a single incident of Sati in Purana. Even our scriptures encourage widow marriage.

Dear people who advocate pollution free Diwali.

Livestock as a whole is estimated to be responsible for around 18 to 60% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Animal agriculture and meat industry is the reason for at least 60% of the biodiversity loss.
Meet production requires 10 times more water and 50 times more land than plant production, leading to water scarcity and deforestation.
The leather industry is the cause of millions of tons of liquid waste in water bodies and one of the major reasons for soil pollution.
The meat industry is the reason for 100% of the total world hunger.

So if you cannot talk about the environment for the rest of the days of the year, cannot stop eating meat and cannot stop using leather, then

The Unforgotten Tale Of Bravery (When Akbar begged a Hindu Kshatrani to spare his life.)

Kiran Devi was the daughter of Shakti Singh who was the brother of Maharana Pratap.
Akbar was perverted. To satisfy his lust, every year he would arrange for an exhibition in Delhi. It was known as the ‘Nouroz Mela’.The Hindu Queens, as well as the other women from Delhi, paid a visit to this exhibition in order to buy goods and jewelry.
No men were allowed in there. Akbar disguised as a woman encroached the place every year to hunt for the woman in order to satisfy his desire.
One day Kirandevi came to the exhibition to see its pompous and offerings. Akbar had an eye on Kirandevi for a long time.

You are wrong my rākshasa fríend

Rigveda 10.85 is on Surya, the sun (an analogy for the spiritual source of our intelligence). Btw where do you pick up these kinds of translations? The colonìal mìssìonaries like Gríffíth?
The Rig Veda hymn (10•85•44/45), the wedding prayer, indicates the rights of a woman as wife. It is addressed to the bride sitting next to bridegroom. It touches upon few other issues as well. Here is the correct translations of these mantras:
”Come, O desired of the Devas, beautiful one with tender heart, with the charming look, good towards your husband, kind towards animals, destined to bring forth heroes. May you bring happiness for both our quadrupeds and bipeds.” (Rig Veda 10.85.44/45) Image

Buddha did not reject Vedas. If you review the basic precepts of Buddhism, they are simply Vedic teachings reworded. The famous Buddhist chant of Om Mani Padme Hum speaks for itself on glory of Om (ओम्)– that originates from Vedas and is integral part of Hinduism.
For a snapshot of Buddha’s teachings I give quotes from the Dhamma-pada–

Just as a brahman priest reveres his Yajna, even so should one devoutly revere the person from whom one has learned the Dharma taught by the Buddha. (392)
In Sutta Nipat 503 Buddha says that–

“One should support a person who is master of Vedas, contemplative, intelligent, helpful if you desire to inculcate similar traits.”
