WHY AURANGZEB EMPLOYED HINDUS
by wada pav on Mar 27, 2007 10:39 PM
1.Rafiuddun , mIKE gANDI have been spamming the site with cut-paste articles
which sing praises of auranzeb, most of these have been written by pro-muslim
western or pseudo-secular/marxist indian historians, most of whom did not live
in the days of aurangzeb,these historians have no idea of the tyranny and misery under which
hindus , sikh , buddhist and jains had to live in those days.
we also can cut-paste articles from western articles who portray aurangzeb as evil,but
obviously muslims will not believe in them, they refer to western historians only when it suits them.
2.While its true that aurangzeb had many hindu generals, that was because he was cunning
and one of the earliest proponents of 'Divide and rule' policy.he hired them purely for political
goals and not because he loved hindus.besides many of these hindu generals were hereditory servants
of mughals,their grandfathers having served akbar and shahjahan.
aurangzeb had very little trust on his hindu generals, he poisoned to death his commander-in-chief
Mirza Raje Jaisingh and when Jaswant singh died,he invaded his kingdom and destroyed all the temples there.
Many smaller hindu kings served him purely out of fear of being invaded.
Many others served him to settle scores against rival hindu kings.
many others served him to get mansabdari.
this switchover of loyaly was very common in those days's especially among some rajputs and maratha's
for example when Sambhaji Maharaj insulted his brother in law Ganoji Shirke, the latter immediately
joined hands with aurangzeb and helped him in capturing Sambhaji. the king of jaipur joined akbar because
of his rivalry with Rana Pratap.
So there were multiple reasons why hindu generals were working for aurangzeb and he tolerated them because he
could use their armies against one another.
3. He did donate some land / grants for some temples, most of these were in kingdoms of his hindu generals
and this may have been done to please them and portray himself as secular.
4. having hindu generals and giving grants to temples in no way negates the evil acts he performed.
even the nazis employed jewish security guards in jewish labour camps and ghettoes,not because they liked jews,
but they wanted to make use of the jewish manpower.
5.He also had to employ hindus in his empires backoffice,
because only hindus possesed the skills like calculating taxes,
revenue,income,expenditure, accounting,loans,salaries etc.
hindus had long experience and skills since thousands of years in managing empires
something the illiterate arabs and turks lacked.
muslims excelled only in warfare and were not educated,hindus on the
otherhand were skilled in mathematics , accounting
