I am amazed at the comments from Muslims taking umbrage as if they are being personally insulted and of Hindus replying with equally ridiculous notions! This is an exhibition on a historical period in the 1600s not yesterday not 10 years ago! I suggest you read the article properly, understand it then comment. Aurangzeb's cruelty does not mean that all Muslims today are cruel, nor does it mean that Hindus and Muslims cannot survive together. We used to live quite happily until recent political interests started creating divisions among the people. As Indians I repeat, we share a common history. There have been no end of cruel kings, emperors, rulers, dictators in the world irrespective of religion or race. If we can read history books without getting upset or reading insults where none exist, the world would be a better place. I suggest that whoever can should go and see the exhibition then comment. If the contents have been wrongly interpreted then say so, if you understand more of that period and start thinking about what it meant to your motherland and ancestors, whether they were Hindus who were persecuted by Aurangzeb, or Hindus who converted to Islam by force or by choice. Think about where we have come today. If Aurangzeb had been wise probably we would not have been colonized by the British. Where might we be today with all the wealth we had? This is constructive retrospection (looking back), not the meaningless insults and divisions you are fomenting with senseless comments.

It seems those who are participating have very little knowledge about Islam as revealed by Islamic Holy Book and practically demonstrated by Prophet Muhammed by his own life and expeditions.
Read Holy Quran and Hadiths care fully and completely and understand the narrations analetically .
I would say Aurangzeb was a true Muslim. I would rather say Osama bin laden , Ayman Al Sawahiri, all Al Quida followers and all Islamic Jihadis are true Muslims.
Can any body prove otherwise on basis of either Holy Quran or Hadiths?

Since you are so keen on harmony, I suggest you watch this, UK "Despatches" documentary. This is the future you can look forward to.

Hello whatever your name is, because i don't u to address you any more as secular. Nobody will become secular by just having a screen name as secular. You look like extremist hindu bigot. I've been seeing, you are posting these links every where. What's your point? What do you want to prove? Your intention is to create hatred against muslims? That's your soul purpose in your life?
Now I'll post some links. Go thru these links. In these links you can find hindu extremist vinay katiyar says he wants establish sanathan dharma on the whole world. He claims even mecca & madina too. What do you want to say about this?
It's not my intention to create hatred against hindus here. All i want to prove is there are extremist on all both sides. If we encourage them, they gonna do more harm to this world and you are encouraging them posting these on the website. you are really bigot not secular.

You have been hailing Dr. Zakir Naik like a man worthy of worship. You've actually quoted him and posted links to his moronic claims. He is as bad as the clown in the latest video link that you've posted here. Then you have the temerity to claim some sort of moral high ground. Pathetic.

Mr.Secular Indian,i donno y u r wasting ur energy explaining all these things (as one of our friends said) to third grade citizens. Third grade in the true sense,they dont respect their mother land,they dont respect the major religion preveailing in the motherland,when they dont 1st two things automatically get that status which they are enjoying. Im a Hindu and have many Hindu friends who are citizens of pakistan and live there.They are pretty close to me but i have never seen them talking badly abt their motherland or muslims.It doesn't mean that pakistan is looking after them well or muslims there in pakistan are very secular,itz abt their culture which a person gets by practicing a tolerant religion(Im sure Hinduism is most tolerant of all despite what insane people here say).Finding one person talking emotionally abt hinduism can happen but itz not ubiquitous.I challenge any muslim here to swear the same abt islam.

Regarding the videos:
The guy is a lunatic and he is a Hindu so what, where does he claim that he has been instructed by God to spread Hinduism and kill non-believers where you find them. You will find it's the Hindus who will make the most noise about the sort of crap he is preaching. I wish I could say the same about the Muslims.

Sure he is a fanatic, which part of my post couldn't you read. The point you miss is the guy who made the documentary is a Hindu. Yes there are fanatic Hindus but where do you find the religious sanction and people justifying their actions because God has instructed them so. You have stopped making sense.

Are you stupid ? Yes there are Hindu fanatics, yes they have equally fanatic followers but they are not claiming to go on a rampage claiming that God has asked them to go and kill all non-believers. It's like Hitler he was an idiot but he wasn't exactly driven by Christianity, though it wouldn't be difficult.

No expose your lies and claims. Why are you afraid of of facts suddenly ? Fortunately for you the links no longer work. The documentary is a blue print of Jihadists at work. I think every one should at least look at the facts and make up their own minds. Facts seem to be in short supply here.
