Moghuls and India
by chota_crusader on Sep 01, 2005 07:37 PM

Hilarious.Some r angry Mr.Singh payed homage to Babur instead of Shivaji! Some with Moghuls being called Great! Some say Shah Jahan didnt love Mumtaz! Some claim Taj built by a local small time 'rajput' king! Sir,if u inspect the monument from space u may just find 'traces' of Moghul architecture :) and if u argue Mr.Shah Jahan browbeat this small king to give the land 4 free,u cant descredit dear Mr.Shah for the breathtaking masterpiece in marble that he left 4 us.Cum 2 think of it,ask a foreigner what comes to mind if hears India, definitly most of the firangs will say The Taj only if after poverty.This monument is synonymus with India,n this is where Moghul rule proves a point n this is where their greatness lies.But these guys were but human, dont forget also that we are talking about an era of despotism,(where sons held their fathers captive and rule-by-sword was the norm). If the gujrat tragedy can happen in a democracy today and we witness genocide everyday for no reason in this modern age, u cant blame those power-driven barbaric bygone rulers.We have 2 be proud of the Indian civilization n Moghuls r very much a part of it.

I love my country and all its people
