<!--QuoteBegin--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The problem with the above quote, Tarun, is that it speaks of relations between a king and his subjects. Nowhere does it mention that high-caste men in general have the 'right of the first night' with lower-caste women.

So, the conclusions about caste that you have drawn earlier are unfounded.

Kings and rulers have done many things, to blame caste for that is to stretch logic beyond breaking point.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Satavahans are supposed to have descended from a mix of aboriginal Nagas as well as Brahmins.
The origin legend of their first king seems to have a parallel with the origin of kings who constructed Khajuraho temples.The only difference is you have the moon god in place of Serpent king god ,in case of Khajuraho kings.


I would also like to add that though I was not discriminated,I was asked my caste sometimes by my teachers as well fellow classmates.

So, you have no evidence for the 'right of the first night' post you made about upper castes having sex with lower caste brides before sending them off home. Except for a specific dynasty of kings, who may have had sex with brides (for all we know, they may be upper caste brides), you have no evidence at all of anything.
