Ok. Now in which text book of India its not mentioned, that Aurangzeb was hostile to hindus?
Even if not the text books Everybody knows it, very very well.
What does the author intend to do about it ?
Pour Oil on the always-simmering , hindu-muslim relations ?
Reading the message boards, i usually see this. People are converting.
Converting to hate-mongers. Thats all i know ?
Is anybody a better muslim after reading this ? No.
Is anybody a better hindu after reading this ? No.
Is anybody a better indian reading this ?
No.
The article was not to give you the 'truth', everybody knew the 'truth'.
The soul purpose is as the author himself argues.....
"People might say: 'OK, this is all true, Aurangzeb was indeed a monster, but why rake up the past, when we have tensions between Muslims and Hindus today?' "
" The argument that looking at one's history will pit a community against the other does not hold either "
ISNT BOTH THESE ARGUMENTS STAND VINDICATED ?
IF YOU REALLY HONEST WITH YOURSELF, THE ANSWER IS OF COURSE YES.
SO THAT BRINGS TO ME ANOTHER QUESTION. SHOULD WE BE CALLING THIS AN INTELLECTUAL PIEICE OF HATRED?
