It is changing slooooooooooooooowly ? I see. So all that humiliation of your ancestors is forgotten as long as the brahmin at his comfortable pace will throw some bones at you.
Whether persians are backward or not is immaterial . They are still persians now, they still have their language and their pride but they also love their islam. So are french, english etc they converted to christianity did not mean they had to turn on their entire ancestor heritage. Only the bad aspects of it.
As south indian non-brahmin (if true) you have your own proud heritage and many local gods etc. Your number one enemy is the brahmin who occupied your temples and also prime economic and social levers. And control your access to your gods. Not the 5% muslims in your state.
Even if one of yours find some refuge in Islam - thats their personal choice.
So tell me. Is Islam kinder towards Native Gods? It doesnt differentiate. We had a whole generation of Parsis when persecution took over in Iran and Syrian Christians in Syria. So dont give me this BS.
I have no enemy nor I claimed Muslims are my enemy. I didnt do that. Its your assumption every hindu hates Muslim. Have you ever met an Hindu in your school, coll days in Pakistan? We interact with them every day and literally grow up with them and so we know each other better than you know "us".
And yes, have you ever wondered the surnames of Taylor, Smith, Brickmason in English language? They had caste and they later evolved out of it. We are evolving. We have brahmin brides in my family and I am going to get married to an caste slightly upper to mine (as in current constitution).
Having an bad system doesnt mean you cast out my native way of life or religion, just the bad aspects of it. Its what we are doing through laws and changing people mindset. We have problems and we will solve it. It will take for my generations (90's kids) to take charge which is not far after. But if you want to think otherwise I cannot do anything.
Ehh?? What are you banging on about man? Mughals most certainly took what was good in brahminland and most certainly built on it. But if it wasn't for mughals, someone else would have wandered along and easily exploited and dominated this jungle full of witch doctors. Caste and mystic based superstitious cultural habits rendered ancient gangadesh a very easy Nation to take over. Why blame the mughals, Brits, afghans, Arabs, Macedonians (you get my point)...etc for simply walking in and taking over? Yes you had some serious wealth stored in some nice temples and some great mathematical knowledge - no doubt there - but you should have used some of that to create an army and a society beyond a few witch doctors riding on elephants. I really don't see how ancient gangadesh was any different to the Aztec empire. The highly advanced catholics obliterated them, hence ending their superstitious and self-defeating human sacrifice once and for all.
Conversely (and as it transpires, foolishly) the mughals SPARED your nonsense from complete annihilation, perhaps assuming these superstitions would always hold Hindus back and they would never threaten Mughal rule. Then BRITAIN happened, and supported the resurgence of your nonsense simply to thwart the REAL competition - the Mughal empire. Clever Brits.
And here we are today. One of our nations is proud of its Mughal heritage, who brought some semblance of civilization to a disparate collection of tribes, while the other nation treads water in a cesspool of caste based social order and yes.... Human Sacrifice. Why is India liKe this? because the modern Hindutva movement sees the Mughal history of India as a threat, instead of as an age of enlightenment and prosperity.
Pakistanis simply don't have this bizarre inferiority complex that bhaktistanis regularly take pride in and seem keen to demonstrate.
Let me tell you something. If there is a religion, there will be superstitions. Shall I point out a few things in Islam? I better not stoop to your range.
If you had an idea of caste and its origins you wont be talking like this. But again when you have ever learnt about your own anchestors to have an idea. I dont blame Mughals for invading India. The reason they (and others before and after them) did was the riches India offered. The same people had mines, weapons, temples, archeological marvels (IVC), agriculture, spices, astrology and astronomy. As I said only slaves will spit on their own anchestors.
Learn history. It wasnt the British who defeated Mughals. It was the Marathas. After Nadir Shah, the Mughal emperor was so lost, that the Marathas took pity on him and gave him protection when his own generals plotted against him. They destroyed the last vestiges of Mughal empire before British managed to defeat the Marathas.
I would say Mughals were probably better than the early Islamic invasions which were mostly barbaric. Infact the first 300-400 years were so barbaric starting from Syria to Persia to Sindh. But Karma has a way of giving it back through Mongols. However I do not blame anyone but natives (including urs) for getting invaded. They were divided through sects and caste and had it coming. That's a different topic.
