I hold no sympathies towards congress.So spare me the spade.
But dont point towards a few muslim ruler and draw a blanket conclusion. How can you forget Akbar and Shah jahan.
Though not a Mughal but
Tipu Sultan was also a muslim.But Tipu had many hindus in his ministry like the other Mughals.His army had successfully employed the iron cased cylinder rockets,that sent chills down the spine of Britishers.Had britishers not looted and plundered India....then to this date India would have had communal harmony.They divided India,they had sown the seed of communal violence before leaving India.
And did you by any chance forget
Netaji Subhash Chandra bose's contribution in the formation of
INA????
British made
railways....for their own good.It facilitated the movement of their men/army easily across the length and breadth of India.
And about
sati.....brace up for the surprises.
Mughal emperor
Humayun was the first to try a royal fiat against sati.
Akbar was next to issue official general orders prohibiting sati and insisted that no woman could commit sati without the specific permission of his
Chief police officers.The
Chief police officers were instructed by him to delay the woman's decision for as long as possible.Pensions, gifts and rehabilitative help were offered to the potential sati to persuade her from committing the act.
Tavernier writing in the reign of
Shah Jahan,observed that widows with children were not allowed in any circumstances to burn and that in other cases, governors did not readily give permission, but could be bribed to do so.
And here comes the biggest surprise for you........
The emperor Aurangzeb was the strongest opponent of sati among the Mughals. In December 1663 he issued an "order that in all lands under Mughal control, never again should the officials allow a woman to be burnt".
