RE:Reality....

Mr seshadri,our main problem is we know history as it is taught to us and do not try to understand and analyse what would have exactly happened during that time frame.
If Muslims & christians were committing atrocities then Hindus were not distributing sweets.Hindu rulers alo committed atrocities. The very good example is The Maratha army during the reign of Peshawas invaded Bengal and raped and killed many Bengali females. Its nowhere written in the histroy of Maraths but you wud find it in the history books of Bengal.
A Marathi person writing history of Maraths wud always glorify them.The same way the case of Hindu history. Hindus have been portrayed as most tolerant,sacrifycing,godd natured people. However that is not the case.FYI,hindus butchered the Buddhists like anything and eliminated majority of the buddhists from India after their wars with them. This hiostory is never taught in Schools.

The latest example I wud like to mention regarding distorted history is of Sri Saibaba of Shirdi. He was not incarnation of GOD as is prohected by devotees. Saibaba was a freedom fighter aginst the british raj and he escaped from the British Jail and hided in Shirdi which was the princely state at that time.
Few more distorted example of history are Shivaji escape sitting in the huge Sweet gift box to be prsented to the monks of Kashi & Mathura and another is Shivaji's leutnent Tanaji conqured one fort called 'Simhagad' with the help of a Lizard.This is moclker
