Modi is not wrong in heralding the spectre of Akhund Bharat, currently resting in the Reich of Hindutva. He is not wrong in fancying a land of pure enchantment where everything -even every artefact of nature – is turned Hindu. The aspiration for such glory emanates from pure dejection and centuries of rule by Muslim conquerors. Hindutva’s roots lie in Indian history.
This desperation of history is what is fuelling Modi; presenting an India overshadowed by hallucinations of history. Modi has to learn that history is made and not written – one that is made is always written and one that is written is never made.
Egalitarian roots of Muslim rule in India
The striking difference between Modi’s Hindutva and Muslim conquerors is fair play. Muslim conquerors established their might through the fierce show of power to neutralize the subjects, but once they settled their score, they established a state of justice and not discrimination. The fairness with which they dealt their subjects was the main reason why a large number of Hindus embraced Islam for they found social, economic, cultural, religious equality, equity and security. These two characteristics were exemplified by Muslim rulers through their statesmanship and statecraft.

With such a governance structure, their power was never questioned on the basis of religion. The Muslim rulers brought with them the intellectual treasures of Islamic culture, civilization and traditions. The rise of Islamic culture and civilization rehashed and subjected Hindu traditions which were based on discrimination in caste, creed and colour. The social dissociation of the Hindu social system at the behest of an all equal Muslim social system ushered India in a new era of realization.
For centuries they ruled the Indian subcontinent from Kashmir to Meena Kumari and from Chittagong to Kabul through their well-coordinated system of statesmanship. Their phases of rule did not feature any significant Hindu rebellion except for the later small part of Marathas which was controlled by the Abdali king of Afghanistan.
The era from 700 AD up till 1947 makes the Indian history more heroic, not on part of the Hindus, but because of the elemental presence of Muslim episodes. Especially the ones from across the Oxus River. Subtracting the Muslim part from the history of India, would make Indian history listless.
