LOL THAT'S INDIAN HISTORY YOUR YOU. MAKE UP WHATEVER FEELS GOOD. Good job
India will surely be a great nation. Even if India gets blown up, I'm sure your kind will spin it into a story of triumph.
p.s. Foot-binding is a feudal practice that was eradicated soon as the communist government secured nation. the pigtails is a manchurian hairstyle. If you're trying to say that a harmless cultural practice like a hairstyle is morally degenerate, you're completely off your rocker.
Yes my friend.
Your examples are as modern as the pigtails and foot binding!
and your explanation of the history of the pigtail in China is as bogus as most of the arguments that you all bandy around here. Totally contrived and totally hilarious!
The pigtail was a mark of political enslavement to the Manchu dynasty, and westerners made fun of the Chinese hair style. The pigtail
was abolished in China in 1911 when the Manchu dynasty was overthrown in favor of the Republic. Cutting off a pigtail was a terrible insult to the Chinese as they believed it would hurt them spiritually.
The Straight Dope: What's the origin of "pigtails"?
"Originally
it was a sign of submision demanded by the first Manchu Emperor only one year after seizing the throne in 1645. Chinese men shaved the front of their head, then combed the back hair into braids. They used not only their own natural hair, but also horsehair or black silk. The Chinese came to see their braided pigtails a sign of dignity and manhood. For the Chinese, to pull on another's pigtails was a great insult."

Chinese boys and men until the Revolution were famous for wearing plaited pigtails. This was a fashion introduced by the Manchus in the 17th century. Originally i

That is the history of pigtails in China.
As is the Chinese posters style of obfuscating, you claim it was the Manchurian way of hairstryle (
The pigtails is a manchurian hairstyle as you state with such pithy falsehood).
Interestingly you state -
harmless cultural practice like a hairstyle is morally degenerate, you're completely off your rocker.
Harmless?
Hardly harmless when you insult people by forcing them to shave a part of their head and have pigtals.
Morally degenerate?
Of course.
It is was a sign of subjugation.
Why was it banned in 1911 if it were merely a hairstyle?
Why fudge and pander falsehood and psycho babble?
Why are you chaps so economical with the truth?
Why re-write history to cover National Shame?
You speak about the Muslim Conquest of India. Sure, it happened. Part of history. Why should it be wiped out?
Unlike the Manchus who made the Hans wear pigtails to make them look servile, the Muslim did not make everyone to become circumcised!!
Got the difference?
The Chinese history is all about making some group or the other bow down in total submission.
That is why China has 92% Han!!!!!!!!! 92%!
And it was only when the Communists came to power that the ethnic count was taken and recognised. Before that, the Cultural Arrogance counted all as Hans as if no others existed!
The Hans when they came into power, then subjugated all to become Hans.
They are now trying the same in Tibet and East Turmenistan (Xinjaing).
Why this power lust?
since ancient time.
