I have been a regular reader of Francois Gautier's articles and have followed his work quite a bit (for my own reasons). Though what he says/works on might be topics of high-sensitivity I have never seen an iota of dishonesty in the logic he presents. He even answers well to the devil's advocate of his own theories.
This work on Aurangazeb's tyranny is a finding which is only tip of an ice-berg. There are more things to know about, such as the Taj Mahal. Indian government will never even touch these topics, as these things will harm their vote banks.

Dear Ashwin, Again Tajmehal is shrouded in a lot of myth. Projection of Shahjehan as an epitome of love is another fraud perpetrated on unsuspecting Indians. His coffers were empty and his regime was fraught with wars with various countries. Ruthless taxation policy was the order of the day. So it is difficult to believe that he would have spent nearly 22 years building a monument when he was financially bone dry! Further He had a harem full of women and worse, had an incestous relationship with his own daughter- Jahan Hara who wielded enormous political clout. This man who had no finer emotions is hailde as a symbol of love and was supposed to have built a beutiful monument for his beloved wife! He never built anything. He only entered Rajput palaces as an usurper and remodified them. Be it red fort or the Taj, they have a lot of Hindu motiffs that are a taboo to Islam. the marble stones at the TAj when subjected to Carbon isotopes indicate a period that was way ahead of Shajahan's era! More details can be had from a Pune based historian and researcher's (Prof. PN Oak)book called "Tajmahal-the Hindu palace turned Muslim monument.

Dear Sniping, If tit for tat was the rule (as it is the Hamurabbi's code, being followed in middle east) world would exist only for the mighty and dirty. Nowhere in my reply or in Gautier's article is it mentioned about "paying the coin" back. What is required is the RIGHT knowledge of history for our future generations. India thrives on its rich culture, we cant shade it grey for some vote bank garnering of politicians.
I do agree with your claim on TN. Either you are new to the state or you refuse to see the obvious.
