Still nowhere near s brutal as Aurangzeb and Babur and Ghaznvi. And if the Marathas were as bad as you said, why did they have overwhelming public support throughout India? If the MArathas were criminals for fighting tyranny, so were the Mughals for destroying temples, imposing Jizya on poor Hindu farmers, and trying to eradicate Hinduism and buddhism from India. FOrutnately, they failed miserably thanks to xuccessful Hindu resistance. You are just butthurt your heroes got their asses handed to them by the Marathas. Poor Aurangzeb had to die knowing he will never fulfill his dream of completely conquering the Deccan. Its a good thing he did not know that decades after his death, his empire would be completely destroyed, and Hindus will rule almost the entirety of South Asia for centuries to come.
So much hate in your brand washed mind for Muslim rulers. As always, Hindutva ideologues think facts only belong to them.
The reality is that Muslim rulers considered Hindus (rightly or wrongly) as people of the book, granting them access to their own religious courts and their own judges, having their own dietary laws, and preserving/funding Hindu temples (as long they remained loyal.)
Muslim rulers employed Hindus as ministers, with Aurangzeb having the greatest numbers of high-ranking Hindu civil servants, ministers, generals in his government.
BJP and right wing Hindutva propaganda flies in the face of facts. The Mughal empire was Sindh and Hind, and at one time contained 25% of the wealth of the world. Their great monuments, gardens, cities, roads, caravanserais, technological innovations, and great patronage of the arts, language, poetry, music, cuisine, dress, and diversity is a testament to their forward and modern mindset.
Dilli Sultanat and the Mughal empire marked Sindh and Hindustan on the maps of every civilization, and showed the greatness of their rule to the whole world. Taj Mahal, Charminar, Agra Fort, Badshahi Masjid, grave of Shah Jahan, Lahore Fort, Makli Tombs, Shah Rukn e Alam, and other great monuments stand as proof of their mighty and prosperous rule.
If the Marathas were criminals, the Mughals were Nazis. Infact, more people were killed in the Mughal invasions of the Indian subcontinent(India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh) than victims of the so-called holocaust. I respect the fact you hate the Marathas for destroying your empires, but do not distort history.
False equivalence. Comparing Maratha arsonists and anarchists to the the great Mughal emperors who brought so many Hindus out of poverty and backwardness, brought modern education, sciences, poetry, literature to an impoverished region for the first time.
We know this very well. You are unaware of all the benevolence of Muslim rulers towards Hindus. Much of the rhetoric to support Hindu hate against Aurangzeb is a recent phenomena from the pre-partition era, it has been proven false by numerous authors including Hindus, Muslims, and British ones.
Your eschewed view of our shared history caused us to formulate the Two Nation Theory and to form Pakistan (and Bangladesh) because you Hindutva fanatics are still obsessed with revenge, anger, and hate.
Unfortunately those Indian Muslims who supported you in partition and afterwards are suffering the most due to your misguided attempts at righting supposed wrongs of historical Muslim leaders and seeking revenge against men who have long since been laid to rest.
Using the prism of modern events, it is abundantly clear that you cannot nor can you let anyone else have a positive view of Muslim rulers of Sindh and Hindustan. Your whole identity politics are based on fabrications, lies, deceit, and manipulations.
You should have taken heed of the words of Quaid e Azam and Allama Iqbal, you may have been able to live in peace with Non-Hindus.
Showing a Saudi nutjob praising Aurangazeb is equivalent to the same nutjob praising the ISIS Caliph. The only reason why you lot like him, is because he managed to forcefully impose jiziya.
That video was not posted for you. Your hate of Arabs shows your true feelings for all Muslims. This man is a great scholar and a historian. Try watching the video if you want to critique him.
Daesh are Khwarij and Non-Muslims, because they reject the edicts of the Quran and reject The Sunnah. This is why no Muslim scholar recognizes them.
Hindus and Sikhs had to pay Jizya, while Muslims had to pay Zakat. Mughals used much of the money given by Non-Muslims in their own regions to increase their standard of living by temple constructions, public gardens, agricultural innovations, and feeding the economically depressed segments. The proof is all around you.
