Mughals in India: The biggest Holocaust In The World
Islam is said to be the second-largest religion in India. According to the 2011 census, there are about 172 million Muslims in India which is 14.23% of the total population.
The contribution of Islam and Muslims in every aspect of civilization including Indian history, tradition, art, literature, music, architecture, politics, economy, food habits, clothing, society is intertwined all over India. By removing the barriers of religion, caste and division, Islam and Muslims have become an integral part of India.
When it comes to discussing the history of Islam and Muslim rule in India, there are also Europeans who came with Arabs, Iranians, Turks, Afghans, Central Asians, Abyssinian Africans, and Turks. These issues have added a new dimension to India's millennial history, just as it has brightened India's heritage of the year.
It is known from history that India has developed a trade relationship with Arabia since time immemorial.
The journey of Muslims to the Indian subcontinent began in the 12th to 16th centuries. However, the Muslims first invaded the subcontinent in the 8th century.
The foundation of Islam was laid in the subcontinent by the invasion of the then Rajput Empire (present-day Afghanistan and Pakistan) and the establishment of the Sultanate of Delhi.
They occupied most of India except Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, Nepal, Bhutan, Travancore in South India, Tamil Nadu, and Ahom in Assam.
The foundation of Mughal rule
In 1026, Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni came to the front of the Somnath temple with 30,000 cavalries and a large force to attack. His intention was to destroy this temple.
But numerous Rajput warriors and Emperors from all-around advanced to defend the Somnath temple and obstructed the huge army of Sultan Mahmud. In this battle, about five thousand Hindus gave their lives to defend the Somnath temple, but the temple could not be defended.
Numerous innocent Brahmins, including the temple priests, and the holy Somnath temple were desecrated and all the idols of the temple were demolished. This ancient temple was inlaid with many gems. The brutal Mahmud's forces looted the temple's two crore gold coins and all the ornaments of the idol.
After Sultan Mahmud, Mohammad Ghori invaded India in 1191 in an attempt to establish a Muslim empire. On his return home after the attack of Mohammad Ghori Bhatinda, Prithviraj, the last Hindu emperor of India, chased him. A fierce battle took place on both sides at a place called “Tarain” near Dhaneshwar, which is known in history as the Battle of Tarain. Prithviraj lost his way and was wounded and taken prisoner.
According to Hindu law, Prithviraj forgave Ghori and gave him a chance to return home and this was his biggest mistake. This religious discipline of Prithviraj was a nightmare for Prithviraj and the Hindus of India.
Liberal Prithviraj did not know that traditional principles and the principles of the Mughals were never the same. In the year following the First Battle of Tarain (1192), Muhammad Ghuri, in accordance with the Qur'anic norms, violated the principles of the Battle of the First Tarain, launched a second attack and killed Prithviraj, known in history as the Second Battle of Tarain.
The black chapter of the Mughal rulers
Present-day India was a marvellous example of ancient architecture. But the barbarism of the Mughal rulers destroyed those structures.
The Hindu temple of Ajmer, a unique example of architecture, was destroyed by Muhammad Ghuri. He demolished the temple and built a mosque and an Islamic education centre there.
Muhammad Ghuri then led his expeditions to Benares and Delhi. He indiscriminately killed innumerable Hindus to establish a Muslim sultanate.
Intoxicated by the murderous occupation of the famous “Asan Fort”, the insane Mughals reached Benares to kill Hindus indiscriminately and continued to carry out mass killings there as well.
The famous historian Hassan Nizam, in his book Taj-ul-Masir, describes this barbarism as follows: With their severed heads were built three domes as high as the sky, and the headless bodies became food for wild animals. ”
It is easy to imagine how barbaric the Mughals rulers were.
After so much bloodshed and the intoxication of killing Mughals did not seem to end. Ghori's successor Qutbuddin Aibek marched towards Kashi with his army of one thousand cavalries.
Kashi was then one of the holy lands of the Satanist. Vedic scholars of India used to live in this Kashi.
After capturing the city of Kashi, Qutbuddin and his companions destroyed about a thousand Hindu temples and built mosques on the foundations of those temples.
Historian Hassan Nizami, in his book Taj ul Mosir, describes the destruction as follows: “The armies of Islam have been completely victorious. All idol-worship centres and institutions were destroyed and mosques and madrasas were built there as symbols of Islam. ”
In 1198, Muhammad Qutbuddin and Muhammad Ghori jointly invaded Gujarat. On the way they attacked the “Naharoyala fort” and a fierce battle took place between King “Karan Singh” and the Mughals on a pass in Mount Abu. Karan Singh lost the battle and died.
The famous historian Minhaj says of this massacre — “About fifty thousand corpses piled up as high as a mountain. More than twenty thousand slaves, including twenty elephants, came into the hands of so many looters that no one could have imagined. All the temples were turned into mosques0 were forced to become Muslims in order to save their lives. The Muslim Siskars assured all these new-Muslims that if they observed regular prayers and fasts, they would be appointed to high official positions.
But the barbaric Mughals rulers did not keep their word. When they destroyed Hindu temples, killed Hindus and tortured Hindus with new-Muslims, they became disgusted with the behaviour of Muslims.
Once annoyed with the Mughals rulers, they took the initiative to return to Hinduism. At that time, on the way back from Gujarat, 20,000 new-Muslims were killed in one day on the orders of Emperor Alauddin so that they could not return to their original religion.
In 1303, Alauddin attacked Chittor. Rana Ratan Singh, the Rajput king of Chittor, fought valiantly against Alauddin and was finally defeated and taken prisoner.
The Rajput heroes Gorachand and Badal fought with extraordinary valour but it was impossible for them to defeat the huge sultanate. Queen Padmavati of Chittor knew about the female greed of the Mughal rulers.
So in order to protect her own and the rights of other women in the palace, she performed “Jaharbrat”, meaning she jumped into the burning fire and gave up her life. By sacrificing their lives in this way, they saved themselves from being captured by the Mughals and becoming the property of public opinion.
According to Kazi Mugis Uddin, Emperor Alauddin Khilji didn't bother any justice or principle for the establishment. When there is an abundance of money, the attitude and ability of rebellion are born.
This was Alauddin's closed idea. That is why he started exploiting rich Hindus in various ways. He started collecting half of the harvest from the Hindus as revenue and imposed such an unbearable burden on the Hindu masses. His main objective was to convert them to Islam through torture.
Pleased with this activity, he wrote in a letter to Alauddin Khilji, a well-known Egyptian Islamic jurist: By doing so, you have benefited Islam immensely. Only this work will forgive all your sins. ”
After that, Feroz Shah came to power. As soon as he came to power, he started converting various temples into mosques. He was the one who took the famous idol of Jagannath Dev of Puri to Delhi for the purpose of being trampled by the Muslims and in 1360 he threw the rebuilt idol of Jagannath into the sea.
Then Timur Long invaded India. ‘The Sultans of Delhi are not eradicating paganism. They are showing generosity towards pagans, ” he said, attacking Delhi. On the way to Delhi, they looted innumerable places and killed innumerable men and women.
There he killed about one lakh, Hindu prisoners. After arriving in Delhi, a massive massacre broke out when Hindus tried to defend themselves after being overwhelmed by the oppression of his army.
Timur's mighty forces stained the city of Delhi with the blood of countless Hindu men and women and carried out demonic killings and looting in the city for several days. Similar looting and killings took place in three more cities, including Siri, Jahapana and Old Delhi. It is said that the Delhi massacre was so brutal and so many people were killed that no bird flew in the skies of Delhi until two months after the massacre.
According to historians, Timur killed a total of 5-6% of the world's population at that time.
In his biography, Taimur said, “I was in Delhi for 15 days. The days were quite happy and joyful. I have sat on the bench and given big banquets. Then it occurred to me to come to Hindustan to fight against the infidels. By the grace of Allah, I have had unexpected success everywhere. I have killed millions of infidel Hindus".
The holy sword of Islam has been washed in their hot ears. So now is not the time for comfort, but we should constantly fight against the infidels. The identity of Islam's barbarism can be easily understood from here.
The massacre became so vicious that Muslim officials in various places instructed Hindus to convert to Islam and threatened to inform Timur's forces if they did not obey. Frightened people, victims of demonic torture, then began to become Muslims in groups.
According to Muslims, Sikandar Shah was very pious. By his order, the famous Hindu temple at Mathura was demolished.
The Hindus of that time considered the river Jamuna sacred and used to bathe in that water. Sikandar Shah banned the bathing of Hindus in the river Jamuna. A Brahmin lost his life in the crime of saying, “Hinduism is in no way inferior to Islam.”
Thus, the Mughals held their throne by the force of the sword which ended with the English rule.
