DRESSING WOUNDS IS PAINFUL...BUT ESSENTIAL FOR HEALING

I Agree Hindu brothers have deeply hurt psyche regarding Hindu Muslim History of India.
Muslims do not wish to Hurt them for sure. However, offensive begins when Hindus take to heart misplaced, distorted propaganda by some communal elements and Build notions that MUSLIM RULERS RUTHLESSLY OPPRESSED THEM.
However, if we dig into such stories, we find such repression stories are without bottom, or at most distorted in big way.
Few examples:
1. Muslims Attacked India to Spread Islam by Force. Reality: Muslim Kings who attacked India were all debased criminals and last thing they would think is Religion. They never wanted majority in their ruled land to be Muslims because a) Islam exhorts muslim masses to resist Kingdoms, b) Islam does not allow heavy taxation. Only 4% is limit...
2. Muslim Rulers Killed Hindus who refused to embrace Islam, raped women, looted them Reality: Various Kings had various behaviors. But in general no-one - Hindu or Muslim King - would kill or threaten subjects. Their aim was to rule...and all they wanted was Tax ... like a true parasite. Stories of Muslim kings taking oppressive actions on defeated armies can not be deemed as any special behavior of muslim Kings. every conquered King, a criminal in core, killed defeated armies, and raped their women and daughters.
