why are afraid of history ?
by Ashok and Anita on Mar 07, 2008 02:20 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Strange that we are afraid of the past. Any conqueror destroys even tries to destroy the soul of a country. The Mughals did destroy and no matter what anyone says it is a fact and thats that. Creation/destruction will always happen we are affected according to time period we happen to be in. Banning the exhibition is stupid as it shows how futile destruction can be. We can learn from it and must accept it. Cannot change history by banning just as we cannot deny destruction of the babri masjid.

Dear Friend

Your knowledge on Mughals is limited.

Each king was a different character.

1. Akbar married a rajput and most of his ministers were hindu.

2. Aurangzeb was fanatic to the extent he had killed his elder brother Dara and jailed his father Shahjahan for lifetime. (thus it cannot be concluded he was against hindu ideology).

3. Bahadur Shah Jafar (the last mughal emperor) initiated the freedom struggle of India along with Rani Laxmibai. He was imprisoned by British at the Rangoon jail for fighting against British.

Thus please do not divide ourselve on the basis of one Mughal emperor like Aurangzeb did.

Make peace
