Shivaji used what is called Guerilla tactics against a massive Mughal army and defeated it. During his capture of forts, he did not rape and plunder Muslim women like Muslim commanders did with non-muslims.
There is one story where his army commander tells Shivaji with pride that the wife of the muslim commander has been captured. Shivaji scolds the commander and asks the wife be returned with all respect. This is how we Hindus are taught role models. But it takes maturity in human evolution to understand such acts. Decendants of Barbaric Wife-stealing Arabs or Indians converted by sword who think they are Arabs will not understand this. I cant believe that some muslim blogger was giving a logical reason for the Jizia tax saying it was to save non-muslims. Save from whom ? Muslim rulers ? How can someone be taxed differently based on religion ? Shivaji did not impose this tax on muslims. Are educated muslims so blind in their belief that they even justify what Auranzeb did ? Then I have no hopes from them. Foolish people who make such arguments are making a case for Modi to become a PM.
All Indian muslims have Indian features. Not Arabic features. So dont behave like one. Do Amir/SRK look Arabic ? We Hindus encourage Muslims as Movie starts and sports stars. I am yet to see a Hindu movie star/sports star from Pakistan/Bangladesh. Dont you get any inferiority complex from us ? We gave you Pakistan and Bangladesh. See what you did with it !

Shivaji didn;t impose tax.... hello, he was only rulling maharastra whereas the mugal ruler was ruling total middle and north india. there is a difference in it... Apart from Jizia tax, Aurangzeb didn't took any other taxes from them whereas all the muslims were suppose to pay Zakat, Sadqa and other taxes. Also those non muslim who served in Aurangzeb's army were not suppose to pay this Jizia Tax as they were already contributing to the country by there services. No women, old man or disable person was impose with jizia tax, only the male member of the family was asked to pay this tax... if you are educated then understand the real history and not the history written by religious people only..
What do you mean by Arabic, Muslims are throughout the world and contributing 1.4 percent of the human population... whereas hindus are only in India... In Arab, there are only 18 percent of total muslims around the world, so there is no monompoly of Arabs on god, or religion.

West people do not want to accept that Islam has born out of Jews and Christenity.
Quran has clear reference to that it accept Moses and Jesus as Messenger of God. Islam has shown path by which people do not have to go to prist or mulla to get in touch with him.

Islam do not ask anybody to become muslim. Person can be termed as muslim, even without joining Islam... If he/she follow same path defined in other religions.
Muslim are considered as person who have belive in God and he considered killing of any animal or human for joy or satisfaction being termed as Kafir or Murder of total humanity.
If any person has been convered to Islam by force do not become Muslim till he follow part mentioned in Quran.
I would request dear friends, message from god is not known to many of people. I would suggest please read message from god.
Do not type cast any religion based on worng doing of single or group of people.
