kek yaar, the first nawab of Bengal, Murshid Quli khan who established Murshidabad was a Brahmin by birth.

another interesting fact -

lungi ruler deva raya was humiliated by a village baniya girl, she refused to marry him and sought protection of feroze shah bahman.

feroze bahman defeated deva raya, married his daughter and that baniya girl was married to feroze's son

Most don't know this, but back in the day, a lot Hindu women and children, used to get sold into international slave markets, mostly in Bukhara.

It's funny how this fact is never discussed or taught.

Back then every body used to sell girls. Bengals most prostitutes were kayastha brahmins.

> Kyastha Brahmins

those are two different castes anon.

And no, there is no such data, by common sense, most slaves likely came from shudra castes.

many soldiers would end up as slaves too.

Even today bulk of prostitutes in Bengal are from lower castes.

Afghans sell their girls even today.

There are historical accounts that verify afghan peasants would sell their daughters to Khatri creditors.

>Sir Jadunath Sarkar, CIE, FRAS (10 December 1870 – 19 May 1958) was a prominent Indian historian and a specialist on the Mughal dynasty.

>He has been called the "greatest Indian historian of his time" and one of the greatest in the world, whose erudite works "have established a tradition of honest and scholarly historiography" by E. Sreedharan. He has also been compared with Theodor Mommsen and Leopold von Ranke. Arthur Llewellyn Basham calls him "the greatest Indian historian of his generation." He has also been described as "a star historian of modern India on medieval Indian history, who brilliantly caught the spirit of the age and devoted himself to the neglected field of Indian historiography."

There is no data for anything general about lundia. Literally nothing. I just read some colonial times britishers book a long time ago. Polygamy was so rampant in bengal those days and UC mens used to marry tons of women and abandon them. Those women went into prostitution. It was even posted on inch.

>those are two different castes anon

And i meant both.

>most slaves likely came from shudra castes.

Prostitution has thei own prostitute caste which is extremely small in numbers. There used to be "baiji", "devadasi" and "tawaif", system but when britishers came they disrupted the traditional socioeconomic systems. There was more than ever demand due to influx of british men as well. Almost like todays urbanization where anyone can be any one and wealth wasn't limited to certain castes. Even then women barely had any ownership. I forgot the britisher book/documentary but it mentioned kolkata and sealdah as high numebers of UC prostitutes. I remember one indian book about it

>According to one official estimate of the mid-nineteenth century, out of the 12,000 prostitutes in the growing metropolitan area, almost 10,000 were the wives, widows or daughters of Kulin Brahmins (Chakrabarty 1963)

In this study it is also written that these prostitutes denied their services to muslims.
