Ignorance of India is forgivable. My only point was that the zenana system was very common in India as it was likely to be in the world's second largest Muslim country (see the little ding-dong Maahey and I had about this on the 'Pakistan is not a Muslim country' thread).

If you're interested, try to find a classic black and white Hindi film like 'Chaudvin ka chand' (dir. Guru Dutt) or 'Sahib, Bibi aur Ghulam' (also by Guru Dutt) to see how the system worked in the 'great houses' of Muslim India.
