Our Liberal and Secular cabal go gaga over Mughal rule and project it as a golden age of medieval India, however, the truth is that almost 800 years of Islamic rule has witnessed World’s biggest holocaust, where more than 80 Million Hindus were mercilessly massacred by various Islamic Rulers and Sultans. Hundreds of Millions were converted to Islam and several hundreds of millions of Hindu women were raped and turned into sex-slaves for life.
These atrocities were committed by Islamic invaders like Arab, Mughals, Turkish, and Afghan who came from Central Asia, Arab and plundered the ancient India, killed millions of people, destroyed the economy and then they became the darling of our biased historians, who never leave any opportunity to suppress their heinous acts and make them heroes of of society.
It all started with invasion of India by Mahmud Ghazni around 1000 A.D., that was an event which opened the flood gates of Islamic invaders into the Indian subcontinent and they lasted for more than 8 centuries. Ghazni was followed by Nadir Shah, who made a mountain of the skulls of the Delhi’s Hindus.
Babur raised towers of Hindu skulls at Khanua, where he defeated Rana Sanga in 1527, he replicated the same ‘Jihad’ practice when he captured the fort of Chanderi. His son and allegedly the ‘Greatest Mughal King’ Akbar did order a brutal massacre of more than 30,000 Rajput warriors when he captured Chittorgarh fort in 1568. Even the Bahamani Sultans had an annual ritual of killing a minimum of 100,000 Hindus, which was considered as Jihad.
The holocaust of the Hindus continued for 800 years. We will share some literary evidence by eminent writers and historians, which proves that World’s biggest holocaust did happen in India. Several historians and biographers have documented all these evil incidents and left quite detailed records of the atrocities these Islamic invaders committed.
Dr. Koenraad Elst wrote in his book “Negation in India”
“The Muslim conquests, down to the 16th century, were for the Hindus a pure struggle of life and death. Entire cities were burnt down and the populations massacred, with hundreds of thousands killed in every campaign, and similar numbers deported as slaves. Every new invader made (often literally) his hills of Hindus skulls. Thus, the conquest of Afghanistan in the year 1000 was followed by the annihilation of the Hindu population; the region is still called the Hindu Kush, i.e. Hindu slaughter.”
Dr. Koenraad Elst in his article “Was There an Islamic Genocide of Hindus?” which states:“There is no official estimate of the total death toll of Hindus at the hands of Islam. A first glance at important testimonies by Muslim chroniclers suggests that, over 13 centuries and a territory as vast as the Subcontinent, Muslim Holy Warriors easily killed MANY more Hindus than the 6 million of the Holocaust. Ferishtha lists several occasions when the Bahmani sultans in central India (1347-1528) killed a hundred thousand Hindus, which they set as a minimum goal whenever they felt like punishing the Hindus; and they were only a third-rank provincial dynasty. He further added that “The biggest slaughters took place during the raids of Mahmud Ghaznavi (ca. 1000 CE); during the actual conquest of North India by Mohammed Ghori and his lieutenants (1192 ff.); and under the Delhi Sultanate (1206-1526).“
Indian Historian K.S. Lal gave detailed information in his book ‘Growth of Muslim Population in Medieval India (1000-1800)’
This book gives a detailed assessment of change in Indian demography between 1000 CE and 1500 CE. Lal concluded that the population of the Indian subcontinent in 1000 CE was around 200 million and in 1500 was about 170 million. Lal estimates that about 60 to 80 million people died in India between 1000 and 1525 as a result of the Islamic invasion of the Indian subcontinent. He also observed that more than 2 million Hindus died during Mahmud of Ghazni’s invasions of India alone.
American historian and writer Will Durant wrote in his 1935 book “The Story of Civilisation: Our Oriental Heritage” (page 459)
“The Mohammedan conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. The Islamic historians and scholars have recorded with great glee and pride the slaughters of Hindus, forced conversions, abduction of Hindu women and children to slave markets, and the destruction of temples carried out by the warriors of Islam during 800 AD to 1700 AD. Millions of Hindus were converted to Islam by sword during this period.”
French historian Alain Danielou in his book, Histoire de l’ Inde wrote
“From the time Muslims started arriving, around 632 AD, the history of India becomes a long, monotonous series of murders, massacres, spoliations, and destructions. It is, as usual, in the name of ‘a holy war’ of their faith, of their sole God, that the barbarians have destroyed civilizations, wiped out entire races.”
Persian historian Wassaf writes in his book ‘Tazjiyat-ul-Amsar wa Tajriyat ul Asar’
When Alaul-Din Khilji captured the city of Kambayat at the head of the Gulf of Cambay, he killed the adult male Hindu inhabitants for the glory of Islam, set flowing rivers of blood, sent the women of the country with all their gold, silver, and jewels, to his own home, and made about twenty thousand Hindu maidens his private slaves.
This ruler once asked his spiritual advisor (or ‘Qazi’) as to what was the Islamic law prescribed for the Hindus. The Qazi replied:
“Hindus are like the mud; if silver is demanded from them, they must with the greatest humility offer gold. If a Mohammadan desires to spit into a Hindu’s mouth, the Hindu should open it wide for the purpose. God created the Hindus to be slaves of the Mohammadans. The Prophet hath ordained that, if the Hindus do not accept Islam, they should be imprisoned, tortured, finally put to death, and their property confiscated.”
The Mughal emperor Babur wrote in his memoirs called the ‘Baburnama’
” In AH 934 (2538 C.E.) I attacked Chanderi and by the grace of Allah captured it in a few hours. We got the infidels slaughtered and the place which had been Daru’l-Harb (nation of non-muslims) for years was made into a Daru’l-Islam (a muslim nation).”
In Babur’s own words in a poem about killing Hindus (From the ‘Baburnama’ ) he wrote :
“For the sake of Islam I became a wanderer, I battled infidels and Hindus, I determined to become a martyr Thank God I became a Killer of Non-Muslims!”
Contemporary record ‘Badshah Nama, Qazinivi & Badshah Nama , Lahori’
This explains the atrocities committed by Mughal ruler Shah Jahan, who is known as a ‘Romantic Person’ by Leftist historians. It states “When Shuja was appointed as governor of Kabul he carried on a ruthless war in the Hindu territory beyond Indus…The sword of Islam yielded a rich crop of converts….Most of the women burnt themselves to death. Those captured were distributed among Muslim Mansabdars”.
‘Tarikh-I-Alamgiri’ describes atrocities of Afghani Invader Ahmad Shah Abdali
“Abdali’s soldiers would be paid 5 Rupees (a sizeable amount at the time) for every enemy head brought in. Every horseman had loaded up all his horses with the plundered property, and atop of it rode the girl-captives and the slaves. The severed heads were tied up in rugs like bundles of grain and placed on the heads of the captives…Then the heads were stuck upon lances and taken to the gate of the chief minister for payment.
“It was an extraordinary display! Daily did this manner of slaughter and plundering proceed. And at night the shrieks of the women captives who were being raped, deafened the ears of the people…All those heads that had been cut off were built into pillars, and the captive men upon whose heads those bloody bundles had been brought in, were made to grind corn, and then their heads too were cut off. These things went on all the way to the city of Agra, nor was any part of the country spared.”
The biggest irony is, that this biggest holocaust in World History has been completely whitewashed from history and not many people are aware of these atrocities. If we talk about the Western world, they produce movies and documentaries, which highlights the human misery caused by evil rulers. They ensure that their current generations are aware of the atrocities imposed on their forefathers, and they don’t shy away from attacking those regimes and their belief system, which caused such a trauma for their earlier generation.
However, a similar approach is missing in Indians, the root cause for the same is lack of any awareness among the youngsters about what happened to their ancestors in the past. We can’t put the entire blame on them as most of our historians have twisted the facts and fabricated the history to please their Secular Masters. We should ask our generation to study more, research more on these subjects, to explore the truth. We must remember it always, that a future is constructed on the foundation of our past, any issue, any problem which we are facing today, it has their references somewhere in the past, until and unless we understand our past, we wont be able to solve the problems of our future.
