I dont get it, Sufi conquered the people of Pakistan and bought them over to Islam, While every one from ghauri to timur is celebrated with vigor.
Why do modern Brits and French celebrate Julius Caesar -
"Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come". (Act II, Scene II).
"Men at some time are masters of their fates: The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings". - (Act I, Scene II). - we all know about the literary efforts made.
He was a military genius - who bought Roman civilization to the people of Gaul (France & other parts of western Europe) and Britain - was he brutal = of course he was, he was a man of his time. The same with Ghauri and Babur and co, they were men of their times.
From jigging veins of rhyming mother wits,
And such conceits as clownage keeps in pay,
We'll lead you to the stately tent of war,
Where you shall hear the Scythian Tamburlaine
Threat'ning the world with high astounding terms
And scourging kingdoms with his conquering sword.
View but his picture in this tragic glass,
And then applaud his fortunes as you please. ~ C M
And look at him anew - Timur was but a man, no more vicious or cruel than others, just in his strength and ambition.
