Slavery: Role Of Christainity And Islam

[ramana]

I dont have any thing other than the speech that Arjuna gives to Uttara Kumara after the Utaara Go grahana about the miserable existence of dasas and speeches in the Kaurava sabha after the Pandavas lose the dice game. You seem to have a better handle on it. The word might not mean slave but it definitely meant servant with no rights and in bondage to the owner as Karna describes. I take your word for it if you say it wasnt like the Western concept of slave.

From what you posted then William Wilberforce emancipation campaign in early nineteenth century was another getting out of Bible movement and it explains the great resentment in the US South which is the traditional Bible belt and some reasons for the US Civil War.
