Anything is better then being hindus...heck even buddhists have stood their ground lately. Hindus cannot be trusted...the few that will dare to stand to stand up will be betrayed by their OWN.

OWN = A HIGHER CASTE , as has always been the case.

Muslim arrival eased your suffering!

Spoken like a true moderate muslim..and that's assuming moderate muslims exists!

Not even moderate Muslim, I'm a cultural Muslim - the future of Muslims.

He was an Islamic bigot, a mass murderer of Titanic proportions, a puritan, regressive, temple destroyer who had no respect for his family(murdered his own brothers, one by one) let alone non Muslims in his empire.

So wrote the British historians, and you swallowed it hook, line and sinker. Did not even bother to read an alternative account.

You can call whatever the heck you want...cultural, moderate, these muslims are silent majority. To be a cultural, you would have to be a secular...which cannot co-exist with islam.

Do you even know what "cultural" means in this context? It means not taking the religion literally - like Hindus who don't believe in Hanuman's holy powers are cultural Hindus. :p

Don't worry about secularism. We're materialists - I don't care what you believe in, I'm only a threat when you own something I covet!

Can you give me the alternative account ? Well our NCERTs contain very mediocre views on him and online I can find these

THE MAGNITUDE OF MUSLIM ATROCITIES - II

Islamic Chronicles - Chapter 30 - Aurangzeb : The Worst of The Moghuls

Well the name itself suggest its going to be biased.

Want a source worth reading thats all.

Hindu rulers, on the other hand, would never offer any support to build Mosques.
Independent India demolishes historical mosques instead!

Indian subcontinents first mosque was funded by a Hindu king in Kerala. The first tamil translation of Quran was funded by a Tamil Hindu ruler. So STFU

 

[ito]

The main reason Mogul empire fell was because of Aurangzeb atrocities over Hindus. He was bigot and cruel man of first order.

 

[Kaniska]

Not a bad idea...In one hand you kill Hindu people and then pay some donation to some temple....If this is good according to you, just reverse the subjects of this situation and I assume you will not feel bad about it...Then why Muslims are compaling when a Mosque is being demolished...Anyway, Hindus can pay some money to become a good boy among Muslim people and then keep on doing all the shit on Non Hindus...So do you like this idea too??

For me, it is a crime and criminal has no place in our histroy in a positive way..Of course, I know, he can be a godfather for some other people..

Nope. I only read the contemporary historians. Only those chronicling directly from court firmaans, documents, orders... etc. There are supporting evidences from the Sikhs and Hindus as well that corroborate the story.

I don't deny that he gave grant to two temples in his lifetime (not one as shown here). But he destroyed hundreds if not thousands, treated us as second class citizens or slaves and did his best to firmly plant Islam as the only religion in this land without sacrificing the state apparatus.

We can't and won't forget it. Pakistan (who shares the heritage) is free to celebrate his legacy.

I don't deny that he was a true Muslim and for Muslims he was an absolute Godsend.

 

[tested]

I don't believe in absolute morals. We do what we do to survive, live to the best of our capabilities. Aurangzeb's destruction and persecution was unmatched for his time, in India. His own family never recovered. His empire did not. The other rajas had had enough. It was a landmark event. That was a lesson Hindus and Sikhs learnt very well - trust me.

Read his court chronicles. Bring someone with knowledge of Farsi and see for yourself. You should get your answers.


We get paid. They did not. That is the difference. Slaves and workers.

See this is what makes Hindus as bad as Aurangzeb.

You didn't like what Aurangzeb did, fair enough, but what have you done? i.e. Hindus, with Sikhs & Muslims? Operation Blue Star, Babri Masjid etc

Your track record is even worse than his!!!

Secondly, and more importantly, he is dead, you can sit and call me what ever you want, that is your prerogative, but when you ultimately meet the Lord and Master of the Universe, do ask him, who was more bad?

So I am assuming that Aurangzeb was the cause of all your ancestral suffering?

Actually, Aurangzeb was hugely beneficial to all the non-Muslims of India. He has a great legacy and one that was beneficial for us.

It was because of him that Hindus and others rose up and started revolting. Had it not been his persecution of Hindus, the Hindus would have been happy to live under more emperor for another 500 years.

The other emperors and kings did persecution but it was much less intense and localized. Aurangzeb took it too far and nationally wide - and in return caused mass awakening of Hindus who had become used to/content in being ruled over.

He is singularly responsible for ending the Mughal empire. Had someone like Dara Shikoh or another Akbar type emperor come in his place, the Mughal rule would have probably lasted another 500 years.

Ask you Prophet, how India offered to build a mosque during his life time in Kerala.
