Proselytizing religions eliminated and continue to eliminate Hinduism/pagan religions.
Proof of this is the conversion of crores of Hindus and the creation of West/East Pakistan and the exodus of Hindus from Afghanistan 1000 years back.
I appreciate the people you have mentioned, but that does not change the fact so don’t hide one truth with another truth.
Omg, seriously. O esteemed writers of this unfinished article. Please write about the JIJIYA tax too, oh and the MURDER of sikh leaders for NOT giving up their religion and ACCEPTING ISLAM. Also the FORCED conversions of KSHATRIYAS defeated in WAR against them. Also how they forced HINDU rajas to marry their daughters off to them but they NEVER married their daughters to a hindu prince.
This article reads like it has been written by middle schoolers and ANACHRONISTIC was their word of the day.
Why do we forget what happened to our own Kashmiri pandits? Pretty interesting that the secular Islamic Kashmiris (I am aware of a few genuine Kashmiris who are Indian by heart & behavior even today & this excludes such genuine people) of Islam changed the demographics of Kashmir by forceful conversions, horrible rapes, murders of Hindu pandits in 1990 but now claim they are being targetted when their misdemeanor is rectified! The pinnacle of hypocrisy!
What happened to countries likeIran, Syria, Indonesia etc whose original people were Parsis, Christians, Hindus respectively under Dar-Ul-Islam?? The same forced conversions, rape, murder of so called kafirs. What is happening to minorities in Pakistan? Minorities population in Hindustan has grown significantly. But, what nonsense did Warris Pathan blabber (regarding 15 crore Muslims hitting out at a much larger Hindu majority) during CAA discussions? Do you know about Moplah genocide in the Malabar region of Hindustan? Who wanted Bhaarath Varsha to be divided along religious lines but Mohammad Ali Jinnah? Read some history before penning things down. Sanaatana dharma itself inherently supports genuine thoughts of various schools of Vedanta. Can we not see the writing on the wall? This post cannot hurt genuine Muslim Indian greats like Dr. Abdul Kalam.
Fools can best reserve their ignorance to their own hearts. Read real history before vomiting fallacies about pseudo-secularism.
Typical SELECTIVE INTERPRETATTION of HISTORY. These so called History experts are busy air brushing HISTORY to show OPPRESSIVE MUGHALS as EPITOME OF SECULARISM.
Yet another futile attempt by SICKULAR MEDIA to paint a different picture of COMMUNAL AND OPPRESSIVE MUGHALS!!!
This apologist commentary and posting an odd benevolent ruler is rubbish. The same can be said about English rule in India. As a collective, the Islamic rule was ungly and horrible for the natives. I use the term natives to all people of Indian origin. This includes converted Muslims as well. This kind of journalism is a disservice.
Indian students going to US/Canadian/UK universities to study Indian history and philosophy. Heights of irony.
The likes of Wendy Doniger and Audrey Truschke salivate at the prospect of such naive and gullible young minds. These Indian students make perfect fodder for their cannons. Over a period of six-seven years they will slowly but steadily indoctrinate such students and then the students will return with a PhD from a “prestigious” US university to land a professorship at an Indian university. They, in turn, will further indoctrinate their students, so on and so forth. The cycle continues.
The mantra is simple – lay the blame for all evils at the door of Hinduism. Whatever the topic might be (it hardly matters anyway), blame the Hindu. Vilify and denigrate Hindu heritage and culture – Sanskrit language and literature being an all time favourite target.
At the same time, portray Islam/Christianity as a superior religion with superior philosophical schools and material heritage.
Either the authors are naive or pretending to be. One sided cherry picked narratives are no longer credible. Especially when there is a vast body of evidence from the past as well as in present behaviour to the contrary. For eg. the mob violence in Bengaluru. Obviously there will be those who the authors describe but even more are/ were those of the opposite temperament. History bears evidence to repeated destruction of places of worship, libraries, universities and entire communities. No amount of whitewashing can hide this.
The authors have very cleverly swept under the carpet the ugly history of Kalapahad. Born as Rajiblochan Roy – he converted to Islam in his youth. As a Muslim general, he sacked, looted and burnt every single Hindu temple in Bengal.
Even a cursory glance through the pages of history will be enough for anyone to determine the veracity of this. But our liberal/secular cabal wont mention this. It goes against their ideology and agenda.
Bengalis are a strange race. They lost more than two-thirds of their land (present day Bangladesh) to Islamic fanaticism yet their love and admiration for Islam and anything Islamic remains undying. Maybe a second division of Bengal, oops West Bengal, will put some sense into them.
One doesn’t have to get carried away by these chosen exceptions, which will not be more than 1 % of the total non-Hindus’ either literary or cultural history. The other 99 % is nothing but doing down Hinduism, calling Hindu goddesses as prostitutes and forcing citizens to convert to non-Hindu religions. Akbar was the only exception to the general ethnic cleansing that other emperors tried to do. Ethnic cleansing in Kashmir was done in the 19th century also. That Hinduism has survived is not acceptable to these non-Hindus and attempts are still on to erase Indian culture.
please do not whitewash Islamic Barbarism, if Muslims are so tolerant and patronaged Hindu temples, who destroyed 80,000 Hindu temples and how come Hindus are killed in millions and forcefully converted, finally if Muslim are so tolerant then why Muslims divided India and created Islamic Pakistan so violently, the truth is Muslims will be good and peaceful as long as they are in Minority that too below 5 percent of the population, with their population growth, they will wipe out Non-Muslims, its just a matter of time. History is the witness for that demographic change.
PS 1000 Bhigas is equal to 400 Acres, so, All Hindu temples got 400 acres as grants from Muslim KIngs in history, great

Someone needs to do a deep study on why a certain class of Bengali Hindus feels a deep need for virtue signalling and this kind of woke behaviour.
These are two graduate students (studying Indian history in the US ?) selectively picking exceptions to create a narrative.
This is not the result of a an academic study that involves rigor but just a pre decided “finding ” substantiated by a few cherry picked exceptions.

Pretty vacuous article i must say. Perhaps this space could have been utilized for something better.
