Going through the article above one without a partisan view can opion only this much too superficial,presented Hindtva school of tubular vision. Auragzeb was one among the many political personality of Indian history as a relegious figure he comes only later if he is.The issues of power struggle on the last century of Mughal's including Dara Shikoh,on the previous generation of Shajahan all that is purely Political. Islam is a peaceful tolerant relegion.It's call for co-exitance of relegions and civilizations.Never in history Muslims invade any civilizations and colonised them even though they were the leaders of the world,for the thousand years after the Roman-Persian Emperror and before the British emperrors of later.Till now the presence of millions of non-muslims in muslim world eg,Egypt,Syria,Iran etc will tell it clearly. Qur-Aan clearly prohibits forceful conversion and using force as a method of propogation of relegion. Islam is a way of life.It covers the entire phase of human life.It weigh on mercy and passion,freedom and prosperity of human race irrespective of their relegion,colour,creed and race.It calls the people to rise up against the oppressions,suppressions and invasions. British version of written Indian History is totally malicing Indian rulers and applying divide and rule principle in all the possible arenas.Even if you buy it -the mistake of Aurangazeb he could not unite the people of India eventhough he could the geograpgy much before British.That's the price his descedants payed the dynasty went into history.It is pure LESSON from the History that any time of History India is land of diversified cultures relegions and people.Rulers of India who got this plurality only survived long in History.
If the destructions of Temples if it is totally unislamic.Islam strongly asks to protect the others temples and churches and respect their Faith too.It can be of purely political too also that there are enourmous number of temples destroyed in India by war between Hindu Kings in History. In fact Islam and Even Cristianity came to India first time through the Arabian traders etc via the western and eastern coast. British Historians so unfair to Aurangzeb they must be,1600 founded East india Company kept at their low for centuries by these Kings.We should apprciate certain facts too from Aurangzeb life that he had lead commoner's life earned his own bread by sewing toppies and handwriting Qur-Aan.Compare the indian Politicians. He took Stringent actions against the totally demoralised Pallace Paracites of Centuries the So called musicians dancers etc who can say it was bad.Economically India was doing pretty well then,even Manchester was flooding Indian Textiles and Silks.Trade and Commerse was at its highest.Provide the facts it is unbelievable there was that much growth in a coutry if it have that much communalisation in a Hindu majority population.
The article the exhibition is an attempt to rechew the undigested and serve the purpose of hindtva.And clearly once again Showing us that till know we are slaves to west and whatever they left and kept are still so big for us. Shibu.H
