when i read things like these and realize that there is bound to be at least an iota of truth somewhere in the story, it makes me extremely angry. the blood boils to learn that someone was hell bent on destroying my race and i feel like burning the muslim world down. but then i think and realize that it all happened in the past and that the current lot of muslims had nothing to do with it. i find myself reconciling to the mantra 'let bygones be bygones'. but then again when i see so many of my muslim compatriots actually taking the trouble of defending such a figure, i am compelled to become angry again. mr. gautier was at least right about the fact that there is a shadow of aurangzeb sweeping across my country again. every passing day makes me even more eager for the impending Islamic Reformation. it is bound to come cos i have faith in the triumph of reason over blind faith.
