Chapter 8: Who are the Surans and why are they called Indu?

The Surans originated in the Barathiyan homeland in the modern-day country of Aindusiya before migrating to Sgariya.

 

The Sanskrit word "Sura" can be translated as "gods," "heroic" or even "spiritual" people.

 

Indu people are called Suras. The name translates from Sanskrit to mean "(white, like the) moon."

 

The Suras have Baratha ancestry (Indian). But as a representation of who they are, the third Guru of Sura gave them the name Indu. The name Indu means "moon" in Sanskrit and is often used as a symbol of beauty, purity, and enlightenment. This reflects the spiritual values and beliefs of the Suras.

 

The First Indu was a man when he was born, yet he possessed a woman's beauty. The father of the second Indu was a man of female reproductive organs. The Barath people seem to hate the Indus and refer them the Nerakas, which means "hell" in Sanskrit, because of their divinity nature.

 

The sacred text of the Suras was known as the Pustaka, or Scriptures. The numerous tales and historical accounts in the Suras were decried by Hindus.

 

The Suras were known to the first Hindus as Sivas or, less frequently, as Rupas (human forms of beauty), but why did the Hindus absolutely despise them so much that they skinned, brutally murdered, and even mowed down and beheaded them? History began when the first Rupa became infertile as well as cursed the Hindu region of the Amalakas. The Tamizh in South Aindusiya contains a history of the Amalakas. The Sura sometimes referred to them as Tamizha, despite historical accounts referring to them as Tamila. The Amalakas were a tribe that lived in the region, and their history is an important part of the Tamizh culture. The use of different names for the Tamizh by different groups highlights the complexity of their identity and how it has evolved over time.

The Story However, this is not related to Maha Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess, who is occasionally referred to as the "first Lakshmi" or "the first beautiful woman." Some stories claim that Lakshmis was born elegant or has a beautiful figure.

 A young woman from a nearby village in South Amalaka meets a wealthy man from North Amalaka. Despite not knowing that she was a Lakshmi, he fell in love with her just by gazing at her. The husband's mother was a villain. Her name is Bhargavi Devi. She grew up with an Indu clan.

 At the time, Bhargavi Devi was expecting her first child. The mother-in-law screamed hysterically and explained to her son why the baby wasn't born as a boy after the baby was born and it was discovered that it was a girl. Bhargavi Devi was deeply hurt by her mother-in-law's reaction and felt unsupported. Gender discrimination and preference for male children are still prevalent in many parts of the world, causing harm to women and girls.

After the baby was born, Bhargavi Devi was treated like a maid in her mother-in-house law's because she was unable to bear a male heir.She forewarned her son that she desired a grandson and that, if he did not provide one, she would cut him out of her wealth. Bhargavi Devi's treatment is an example of the deeply ingrained patriarchal beliefs in the society, where a woman's worth is often measured by her ability to bear a son. It also highlights the importance of having conversations about gender equality and challenging these harmful beliefs.

Bhargavi Devi was treated both like a sex object and like a maid. If Bhargavi gets pregnant and has a girl, the child will be brutally murdered. She could have 21 children, and after learning each one was a daughter, her husband killed them all. This is a gender-based violence and discrimination against girls. It is important to address and challenge these harmful beliefs and practices. 

Bhargavi Devi visited the Shivan Temple and prayed to Lord Shiva for a son. Lord Shiva heard her cries and did as the men's wishes were to curse the child. Bhargavi Devi was devastated upon learning about the curse and sought help from a sage who advised her to perform penance to please Lord Shiva and seek his forgiveness. She followed the sage's advice and performed penance for years until Lord Shiva was pleased with her devotion and granted her a son who would be blessed.
