DR BABASAHEB AMBEDKARS WRITINGS .
--------------------------------------
excerpts from Book: Pakistan or Partition of India , Chapter 4:Breakup of UnitY
"The realist must take note of the fact that the Musalmans look upon the Hindus as Kaffirs, who deserve more to be exterminated than protected.
The realist must take note of the fact that while the Musalman accepts the European as his superior, he looks upon the Hindu as his inferior.
It is doubtful how far a regiment of Musalmans will accept the authority of their Hindu officers if they be placed under them.
The realist must take note that of all the Musalmans, the Musalman of the North-West is the most disaffected Musalman in his relation with the Hindus.
The realist must take note that the Punjabi Musalman is fully susceptible to the propaganda in favour of Pan-lslamism.
Taking note of all these considerations, there can be very little doubt that he would be a bold Hindu who would say that in any invasion by Muslim countries, the Muslims in the Indian Army would be loyal and that there is no danger of their going over to the invader."

Dr Ambedkar was proved right regarding the Muslims with running over to Porkistan during the course of war.

It was left to Aurangzeb to make a final attempt to overthrow idolatry.
The author of ' MA ' ATHIR-i-ALAMGIRI dilates upon his efforts to put down Hindu teaching, and his destruction of temples in the following terms :
" In April, A. D. 1669, Aurangzib learned that in the provinces of Thatta, Multan and Benares, but especially in the latter, foolish Brahmins were in the habit of expounding frivolous books in their schools, and that learners, Muslims as well as Hindus, went there from long distances.... The ' Director of the Faith ' consequently issued orders to all the governors of provinces to destroy with a willing hand the schools and temples of the infidels; and they were enjoined to put an entire stop to the teaching and practising of idolatrous worship.. ...Later it was reported to his religious Majesty that the Government officers had destroyed the temple of Bishnath at Benares. " 14

"Even in the reign of Shah Jahan, we read of the destruction of the temples that the Hindus had started to rebuild, and the account of this direct attack on the piety of the Hindus is thus solemnly recorded in the BADSHAH-NAMAH :
" It had been brought to the notice of His Majesty, says the historian, that during the late reign (of Akbar) many idol-temples had been begun but remained unfinished at Benares, the great stronghold of infidelity. The infidels were now desirous of completing them. His Majesty, the defender of the faith, gave orders that at Benares and throughout all his dominions in every place all temples that had been begun should be cast down. It was reported from the Province of Allahabad that 76 temples had been destroyed in the district of Benares. " 13[f.13]

"In reply to a question put by Sultan Ala-ud-Din Khilji wanting to know the legal position of the Hindus under Muslim law.
The Kazi said :%u2014
" They are called payers of tribute, and when the revenue officer demands silver from them they should without question, and with all humility and respect, tender gold.
If the officer throws dirt in their mouths, they must without reluctance open their mouths wide to receive it.....
The due subordination of the Dhimmi is exhibited in this humble payment, and by this throwing of dirt into their mouths.
The glorification of Islam is a duty, and contempt for religion is vain. God holds them in contempt, for he says, ' Keep them in subjection '.
To keep the Hindus in abasement is especially a religious duty, because they are the most inveterate enemies of the Prophet, and because the Prophet has commanded us to slay them, plunder them, and make them captive, saying, ' Convert them to Islam or kill them, and make them slaves, and spoil their wealth and property '.
No doctor but the great doctor (Hani-fah), to whose school we belong, has assented to the imposition of jizya on Hindus ; doctors of other schools allow no other alternative but ' Death or Islam '. " 21[f.21]
excerpts from Book: Pakistan or Partition of India , Chapter 4:Breakup of Unity
" The payment of the Jizyah by the Hindus continued throughout the dominions of the sultans, emperors, and kings in various parts of India with more or less regularity, though often, the law was in force in theory only ; since it depended entirely on the ability of the sovereign to enforce his demands.
But, finally, it was abolished throughout the Moghul Empire in the ninth year of the enlightened Akbar's reign (A. D. 1665), after it had been accepted as a fundamental part of Muslim government policy in India for a period of more than eight centuries. "
" the Hindu was taxed to the extent of half the produce of his land, and had to pay duties on all his buffaloes, goats, and other milk-cattle. The taxes were to be levied equally on rich and poor, at so much per acre, so much per animal. Any collectors or officers taking bribes were summarily dismissed and heavily punished with sticks, pincers, the rack, imprisonment and chains.
The new rules were strictly carried out, so that one revenue officer would string together 20 Hindu notables and enforce payment by blows.
No gold or silver, not even the betelnut, so cheering and stimulative to pleasure, was to be seen in a Hindu house, and the wives of the impoverished native officials were reduced to taking service in Muslim families.
Revenue officers came to be regarded as more deadly than the plague; and to be a government clerk was disgrace worse than death, in so much that no Hindu would marry his daughter to such a man. " 20[f.20]
These edicts, says the historian of the period,
" were so strictly carried out that the chaukidars and khuts and muqad-dims were not able to ride on horseback, to find weapon, to wear fine clothes, or to indulge in betel. . .... No Hindu could hold up his head. ..... Blows, confinement in the stocks, imprisonment and chains were all employed to enforce payment. "

Chapter 11.Communal Agression
The Hindu's spirit of aggression is a new phase which he has just begun to cultivate. The Muslim's spirit of aggression is his native endowment and is ancient as compared with that of the Hindu. It is not that the Hindu, if given time, will not pick up and overtake the Muslim. But as matters stand to-day, the Muslim in this exhibition of the spirit of aggression leaves the Hindu far behind.
Enough has been said about the social aggression of the Muslims in the chapter dealing with communal riots. It is necessary to speak briefly of the political aggression of the Muslims. For this political aggression has created a malaise which cannot be overlooked.
In Persia, jizya was paid by Zoroastrian minority until 1884, when it was removed by pressure on the Qajar government asserted by the Persian Zoroastrian Amelioration Fund.
As late as 1894 jizya was still being collected in Morocco;
an Italian Jew described his experience there:
The kadi Uwida and the kadi Mawlay Mustafa had mounted their tent today near the Mellah [Jewish ghetto] gate and had summoned the Jews in order to collect from them the poll tax [jizya] which they are obliged to pay the sultan. They had me summoned also. I first inquired whether those who were European-protected subjects had to pay this tax. Having learned that a great many of them had already paid it, I wished to do likewise. After having remitted the amount of the tax to the two officials, I received from the kadi%u2019s guard two blows in the back of the neck. Addressing the kadi and the kaid, I said%u201D %u2018Know that I am an Italian protected subject.%u2019 Whereupon the kadi said to his guard: %u2018Remove the kerchief covering his head and strike him strongly; he can then go and complain wherever he wants.%u2019 The guards hastily obeyed and struck me once again more violently. This public mistreatment of a European-protected subject demonstrates to all the Arabs that they can, with impunity, mistreat the Jews.[29]
According to Khaled Abou Al-Fadl:
[Jizya] is conducive to an arrogance that can easily descend into a lack of respect or concern for the well-being or dignity of non-Muslims. When this arrogant orientation is coupled with textual sources that exhort Muslims to fight against unbelievers (kuffar), it can produce a radical belligerency.[31]
FOLLOWING ARE THE GUIDELINES FOR COLLECTING THE TAX
------------------------------------------
1.The collector remains seated and the infidel remains standing%u2026, his head bowed and his back bent. The infidel must
place money on the scales, while the collector holds him by his beard and strikes him on both cheeks.(Al-Nawawi)
2.Following this [the handing over of the jizya payment] the emir will strike the dhimmi on the neck with his fist; a man will stand near the emir to chase away the dhimmi in haste; then a second and a third will come forward to suffer
the same treatment as well as all those to follow. All [Muslims] will be admitted to enjoy this spectacle. (Ahmad al-Dardi al-Adawi)[114]
3.On the day of payment they [the dhimmis] shall be assembled in a public place %u2026 They should be standing there waiting in the lowest and dirtiest place. The acting officials representing the law shall be placed above them and shall adopt a threatening attitude so that it seems to them, as well as to the others, that our object is to degrade them by retending to take their possessions. They will realize that we are doing them a favor in accepting from them the jizya and letting them go free. They then shall be dragged one by one for the exacting of payment. When paying, the dhimmi
will receive a blow and will be thrown aside so that he will think that he has escaped the sword through this. This is the way that the friends of the Lord, of the first and last generations, will act toward their infidel enemies, for might belongs to Allah, to His Prophet, and to the believers. (Muhammad Abd al-Karim al-Maghili)[115]
4.The dhimmis posture during the collection of the jizya %u2013 [lowering themselves] by walking on their hands, reluctantly;
on the authority of Ibn %u2019Abbas (al Tabari).[116]
