This looks like a GREAT video but unfortunately am unable to understand it due to no captions. Please add captions for Deaf viewers/scholars as wanted to use this for our Deaf Women Studies class. Thank you.

[joydocherty]

Can you please add captions to this? Not only is the volume very low, it's needed for students who are already hard-of-hearing.

[kongphengpha]

Can captions be added to this video? It's amazing, but my students need captions.

[joydocherty]

History Channel- why do none of your videos provide closed captioning? This seems like a gross oversight. Have you not even enabled automatic captions?

Love Jihad & Women's Rights


Are people who are fighting against Love Jihaad advocating only a certain people should marry only certain people? No.

Any person is free to marry whoever HE/SHE is willing to marry. It's a free World.

But the problem here is, A Muslim girl marrying a Hindu boy, or a Muslim boy marrying a Hindu girl - The law system in India is such that Muslims are given an exception to enjoy the personal laws & these personal laws are in so many respects are Anti Hindu, they have not had the kind of reforms took place in so far as that of Hindu laws are concerned.

This puts all the Non - Muslim women who choose to marry a Muslim - boy at a disadvantage. So Non Muslim girl if chooses to marry whether out of intention/fraudulence, A Muslim boy, she will loose the right to, (i) Property, the way she would had enjoyed if she were not married a Muslim boy, (ii) She will loose right to divorce, (iii) She will loose right to Inheritance, Succession etc. in ways she would enjoy if she has not married a Muslim boy....

You are talking about 100 years ago and 200 years ago. Much has changed since then. Get a life and stop dwelling upon the past. Live in today and stop making a business out of demoralizing people. Your message is outdated. Wake up and get a life or be passed by society. Your choice to Sound Outdated.
