DISTORTION OF INDIAN HISTORY FOR MUSLIM APPEASEMENT, Part 2

Dr Radhasyam Brahmachari

What is the utility of studying history? From history, one learns the achievements of his ancestoes and their successes and failures. It enables him to analyse the reasons that brought the said successes and failures and hence helps him taking correct steps in present crises. So, if that history is erroneous or distorted, one fails to take proper steps to confront the national problems. There is no doubt that a faulty step in the moment of a crisis may lead to a disaster. From this viewpoint, it becomes evident that distorting national history is not only a serious offense, but an unpardonable crime.

Therefore, every citizen of a country must have the right to know the true history of his nation. But in India today, this right is being pitiably denied. They are permitted to know the history which is horribly distorted due to political reasons. Particularly the history of Muslim conquest and the period of Muslim rule, that lasted for nearly eight centuries, has been so distorted that it is almost impossible for an individual to salvage the true history from those garbage of lies and deceits. The most unfortunate part of the episode is that, children after learning this distorted history in their text books, are developing wrong ideas about their past. They are therefore confused to identify or distinguish a friend from a foe.

It has been pointed out earlier that Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, the prophet of nonviolence, was the originator of the politics of Muslim appeasement in India. As we know, he was the most trusted as well as the most loyal stooge of the British Empire, it was not possible for him to demand India’s independence. In fact, his real intention was to prolong British rule in India. So, to hoodwink the hoi polloi, he imported a vague and mystical term “swaraj” and used to say that he was fighting for that.He further declared that, it was not necessary to terminate British rule for bringing his cherished swaraj, but Hindu-Muslim amity was the most important precondition for that.

It should be noted that his concept of Hindu-Muslim amity was entirely biased and prejudiced. Only Hindus were to make every sacrifice for the sake of the said Hindu-Muslim amity. To achieve that Hindu-Muslim amity, Gandhi suggested alteration or distortion of Indian history, partcularly the period of Muslim rule. and two major guidelines, he set for this purpose, were, (1) Muslim rulers were not foreign invaders as they lived in India and died in India and (2) the Muslim rule in India was not a colonial rule but a golden period of Indian history. And following these guidelines, a group of dirty people called the secular historians, set to distort Indian history in a big way.

But what was the real nature of that Muslim colonial rule and what was the nature of Dhimmitude the Hindus had suffered for centuries after centuries? It is best described through a dialogue between Sultan Alauddin Khilji and a qazi called Mughisuddin. The incident has been narrated by Alauddin’s court chronicler Ziauddin Barni in Tarikh-i-Firozshahi. Barni wrote,

“One day Qazi Mughisuddin visited the court of Sultan Alauddin Khilji and the Sultan asked the qazi, ‘How are Hindus designated in the (Islamic) law, as payers of tribute (Kharaj-gauzar)  or giver of tribute (Kharaj-dih)?’ The kazi replied, ‘They are called payers of tribute and when the revenue officer demands silver from them, they should, without question and with all humility and respect, tender gold. If the officer throws dirt into their mouths, they must without reluctance open their mouths wide to receive it. By doing so they show their respect for the officer. The due subordination of the Zimmi (tribute payer) is exhibited in this humble payment and by this throwing of dirt in their mouths. The glorification of Islam is a duty.  … Allah holds them in contempt, for He says, ‘Keep them in subjection’. To keep the Hindus in abasement is especially a religious duty because they are the most inveterate enemies of the Prophet and because the Prophet has commanded us to slay them, plunder them and make them captive, saying, ‘Convert them to Islam or kill them, enslave them and spoil their wealth and property. No doctor but  the great doctor (Hanifa), to whose school we belong, has asserted to the imposition of the jizya (poll tax) on Hindus. Doctors of other schools allow no other alternative but ‘death or Islam’.” (H. M. Elliot & J. Dowson, HISTORY OF INDIA: As Told by It’s Own Historians, III,184).

In the First Part of the article, it has been narrated that, how the so called secular historians of India are wrongly projecting the barbaric Muslim ruler Shahjahan as the author of the famous Red Fort of Delhi, which was built by the Hindu Kings several centuries before the times of Shahjahan. In this Second Part, we shall discuss how these secular historians are narrating another cruel,barbaric and lecherous Muslim ruler Akbar as the author of the invincible fortress of Agra.

Picture of Agra Fort

The Fort at Agra:

Like the Red Fort in Delhi, the fortress at Agra also suffers similar misrepresentation. The invincible fort at Agra, as we see it today, was not built by any foreign Muslim invader and its authorship is falsely atributed to Akbar.. This marvellous exhibit of Hindu architecture, was also built by the Hindu kings well before the arrival of the barbaric Muslim invaders in India. Like the Red Fort in Delhi, the Muslim invaders forcefully occupied it and used it as their royal court and residence. During the time of Mahabharata, Agra belonged to the kingdom of Mathura ruled by the oppressive king Kansa, who used the prison at Agra to incarcerate his political rivals. In this regard, the Muslim chronicler Abdulla in his Tarikh-i-Daudi writes, “He (Sultan Sikandar Lodi) generally resided at Agra; it is said by some that Agra became a city in his time, before which it had been a mere village , but one of the old standing. The Hindus, indeed, Assert that Agra was a strong place in the days of Raja Kansa, ruled in Mathura, and who confined everyone who displeased him, in the fort at that place, so that in course of time it had become the established state prison”.[1]

But in the same work, chronicler Abdulla says that Muhammad of Ghazni captured Agra and reduced it to a heap of ruins and writes, “In the year when the army of Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni invaded Hindustan, he so ruined Agra that it became one of the most insignificant villges of the land and  after that it improved from the times of Sultan Sikandar, and at length, in Akbar’s time, became the seat of the government of Delhi, and one of the chief cities of Hindustan”.[1] It is important to note here that the above description admits that before the invasion of Mahmud of Ghazni, Agra was  city and not a village.

Another Muslim chronicler Nizmuddin Ahmed in his Tabaquat-i-Akbari writes, “In the year 972 H (1565 AD), the command was given by Akbar for building a new fort of hewn stone at Agra, instead of the old citadel, which was of bricks and had become ruinous. The foundation was laid and in four years the fortress was completed”.[2] A Muslim poet named Diwan-i-Salman, who lived during the time of Muhammad Ghori, wrote some poems of historical value. In one of his poems, he said that during the time of Muhammad Ghori, the fortress of Agra was under the control of a Rajput king Jaipal. In the same poem he described the Agra fort and wrote, “The fort of Agra is built amongst the sands like a hill, and its battlements are like hillocks. No calamity had ever befallen its fortification, nor hd deceitful time dealt treacherously with it”.[3] So, the question naturally arises- Which fort Diwan-i-Salman had seen? The fort he saw was definitely made of stone, otherwise he would not have compared it with a hill. Above all, is it possible to finish the construction of a massive fort made of stone, as we see it today, within a period of 4 years?

It should also be mentioned here that the Muslim chroniclers, who claim Akbar’s authorship of the fort at Agra, differ widely regarding the time taken by Akbar to complete the job. According to Abul Fazl, one of the ministers at the Akbar’s court, Akbar took 8 years to build the fort. While according to Jahngir, the son of Akbar, he took 15 years to complete the construction.[4] It has been said earlier that according to Nizamuddin Ahmed, the job was done within a shortm period of 4 years.[12] It is important to note here that there are other evidence that suggest that the fort of Agra was there during the time of Babur. Babur set his foot at the fort of Agra for the first time on May 4, 1526, and before that his son Humayun had taken control of the fort. Thereafter, Babur left Agra on February 11, 1527, and proceeded to face Maharana Sangram Singh in the battle of Khanua, leaving the fort in the care of his son Humayun.[5] So, the rational conclusion is that, there was a massive fort, made of stone, at Agra under the control of a Rajput King Jaipal and Muhammad Ghori occupied it by defeating Jaipal in the year 1192. Thereafter, when the fort came under the control of the Mughals, Akbar might have undertaken some repair and renovation work of the then existing fort.

Above all, there is no dispute among our historians that, whether it is the Red Fort in Delhi or the invincible fortress at Agra, Hindu style, particularly the Gujarati and Rajasthani style, is very prominent in the construction of the interior palaces, courts, halls and so on. Especially, the pillars and the gateways of these halls and courts bear pure Hindu style of stone carving. It seems amusing when our historians, in their attempt to explain this overwhelming and pervasive Hindu influence, say that the Muslim rulers who, according to their belief, were very sympathetic to the Hindus, deliberately encouraged Hindu style in building their edifices to promote Hindu-Muslim amity.[6]

So, a group of historins, having more rational views, believe that all the historical monuments of Delhi and Agra, the authorship of which is at present being wrongly atributed to the Muslim rulers, were, in fact, built by the Hindu kings well before the arrival of the foreign Muslim invders. They also believe that in their endeavour to give these monuments an Islamic face, the Muslim rulers, in the name of repair and renovation, removed almost all the Hindu symbols from these monuments and buried them somewhere within the peripfery of those monuments. So a thorough scientific and archaeological investigations is urgently called for revealing the truth and settling all such contrary views.

If true history is taught in school, pseudo secularist will be thrown out of power, would they risk that?

Moslems in particular and christians as well have contributed to the evil minded destruction of India.Now they are continuing the same.The evil twain of bible and qrand are the root cause of the problem,may the two evil originators burn for ever in hellthey created.


After reading all the "

After reading all the " References: " given by " by Dr Radhasyam Brahmachari "
One thing becomes clear : that out of six references five are by some Christian British bastards.
And the sixth one is by " [6] R. C. Majumdar, H. C. Raychaudhury and K. Datta, An Advanced History of

India, MacMillan & Co (1980), 579."

What bothers is the " H. C. Raychaudhury " I don't know if the name has some relation to the British colonialist titles conferred upon some Indians who were sycophants of the British rulers. Titles like Raybahadur , Raychaudhry etc.?

I expect and request Dr Radhasyam Brahmachari to give some more Historic, authentic (preferably Indian ) references. Which will make his statements sound more authentic.

I don't doubt Dr Radhasyam Brahmachari 's credibility but to make his points more convincing he should provide some more different type of references also.

Pseudo secular Indians have poisoned the young indians' mind to such an extent that they need much stronger medicine then what " Dr Radhasyam Brahmachari " has provided.

I mean not just what the Christian British bastards have to say about Indian history but also what real Indians have to say about Islamic and Christian invasion of India.


#2,#3 Maybe the Christians

#2,#3 Maybe the Christians should all leave and India should return all of the technology and let the Muslims finish their intentions. India will become Greaster Pakistan.

When did roman christians destroy India. All we ever heard about India from the "Christians" was how beautiful India was. From the comments from you India is not good, but selfish and Islamically inclined. If Indians want to become Christians, why cant they? You mean you dont have freedom of religion? I know you still have the evil caste, which is discrimmatory, but Islam has had a grave influence on India. From the comments given by 2,3, India is Islamic.


Prof Bramhachari. I was

Prof Bramhachari. I was eagerly awaiting an article by you on the Taj mahal but I guess I will have have to wait for some more time. The Taj is the most beautiful building I have ever seen . There can not anything like the Taj. I want to hear what you have to say about the Taj apart from what Stephen Knapp has already said. Please comment on the kalash with a coconut and mango leaves , the most sacred Hindu symbol, atop the pinnacle on the dome of the Taj. I would appreciate your comments.

What is Christian Technology? Virgins giving birth, killing of sucklings, rape,plunder as a policy, Pedophilia of the Church? A person who cannot save himself but claims that he will save the humanity and also claims to be the son of God, Stupidity of the Bible, earth created in 6 days, flat earth, Humans coming from Adam Eve, which tantamount to brothers and sisters making love to beget children, if not mother and son and father and daughter.

India will become Greaster Pakistan.
If Aurangzeb could not do it no one can. India one of the two country which reverted back after Islamic rule. The other being Spain. The only country which did not submit to Islam even after being under its rule for 800 years. You don't know history and just want to type something. India is thorn in Islamic world, as land which reverted back from Islam ask any pious muslim.

When did roman christians destroy India.
Go to he NE part of India and see it for yourself.

All we ever heard about India from the “Christians” was how beautiful India was.
So?
From the comments from you India is not good, but selfish and Islamically inclined.
Two comments from some bloggers and India is not good? How many comments do you want for the US so that you will accept it as bad?

If Indians want to become Christians, why cant they?
Why do you have the wet dream?

I know you still have the evil caste, which is discrimmatory,
Christians have racism, until two decades ago you practiced it officially in South Africa. Don't tell me all is ok since you elected Obama.
Since Independence India is trying to bridge the gap as a state policy.

but Islam has had a grave influence on India.
There are millions of muslims living in India, so there is bound to be some influence. Did America belong to the Christians? It belonged to the local Red Indians, does not Christianity have an influence in the US?

From the comments given by 2,3, India is Islamic.
Draw you own stupid conclusions


Maybe the Christians should

Maybe the Christians should all leave

I think this is a good solution.

and India should return all of the technology

Exactly why stup1do? Is technology patented by xianity or xians?

What is Christian Technology? Virgins giving birth, killing of sucklings, rape,plunder as a policy, Pedophilia of the Church?

I do not know about others, but pedophilia and raping boys and girls in their xian schools is a patented xian technology for sure.

Irish rape report. Before this it was America..Now Irelabnd... I am sure xians rape children in India too. Every year, Australians visit India and Sri-Lanka for having sex with young boys and girls. Some years before there was a report on this issue in Indian papers.

I always wondered that why do

I always wondered that why do not we have similar type of majestic monuments in the middle eastern countries. Anyway these fanatics are well known for the destruction of society so how could they be the constructor. A lot of poor hindus, buddhist or jainisst had to convert to the Islam cause they could not afford to pay the Poll Tax (jazia tax) and now the same poor converted Muslims are ready for the destruction of the world either in Pakistan or Bangladesh or even in India. If we look in to the south asian reason, Muslims are mostly living below the poverty line. History needs to be told to these converted muslims so they could find out their original roots and could consider re -converting back to their original faith. By doing so we will minimise the terrorist threat as their is nothing like moderate or extremist Islam.


Wow, what magnificant

Wow, what magnificant architecture.

Excellent article.


#9 I agree. The Indians

#9 I agree. The Indians were great builders and very creative. I appreciate them for their magnificient building skills. I still think the Hindu civilization was great. Many civilization, e.g Persia, Greeks, Byzantine were magnificient before Islam. Where are the magnificient builders of Islam. They made great tents.. The Kaaba in Mecca is falling down. The dome of the Rock was Israeli built by Jews. The Jewish King built the wall torn down by Rome in 70 CE.
Muhammad never went to Jerusale but had a dream while in the bed of his child bride.

Can we have some proof that the author is indeed the RSS chappy? Or is it like the flat fixed 6000 year old earth theory that you xtians are all so adept at propogating.Is there a proof at all? Sir?


In reply to #12, take a look

In reply to #12, take a look at the site by the author noted here, and judge for yourself. Again as I have said take whatever this author has written with a high degree of caution. It is highly charged emotional Hindu nationalist (Hindutva) propaganda, falsely presented here as history.

Hi dear; you are well come to post the missing parts to balance the Hindutva views of Dr. Radhasyam Brahmachari. If and only if you can . Only cretins like you can do that I suppose. Ha Ha Ha


History it self is a proof.

History it self is a proof. You will find the structure resembling to England in India as they were build by Britishers. But you do not find the Structure resembling to the monument/fort present in India, in the Islamic countries where the invaders came from. Almost all of the Indian literature of pre Islamic time has been burned in fire by the Islamic invaders. I am sure the person who mostly justify that these monuments was built by Islamic Kingdom are the converted Muslims from south Asian region were and in doing so they even have forget that their own great-great grand fathers / Mother were the victim of Islamic invasion and had to convert in to Islam unwillingly because of variety of reason.

Kafir123: This article is a distortion of Indian history written for Hindu appeasement. There is no doubt that Hindus suffered as a result of Muslim conquest, but that does not give Hindus a reason to misrepresent their own history. If they do, as this Brahmacharya does, it gives credibility to the fact Hindus never wrote any history, and that they still don't know how to write history.

There is no evidence to support your claim that Muslims destroyed almost all Indian literature in fire. If you have any proof, please present it here.

The Library of Nalanda University in India was burnt by pious muslims, same as the library in Alexandria in Egypt. This should give you a pattern of muslims wherever they went. All their crimes cannot be recorded, especially of people who make a living by criminal deeds.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nalanda_university

You may do your further research on these subject.


I fully agree with Dr

I fully agree with Dr Brahmachari.
Following are the facts to be remembered
1) Muslims goes all over world for looting & not for constructing any structures.
2) There are not any books or measurement systems of muslims.Whatever we found in midage structure is only Hindu(Vedic,Buddhists,Jain) architecture.
3) The period of Sultans was not peaceful or no one was interested in music,literature,dance,architecture. There interest was to destroy the temples,Braking the idols,killing the hindus,raping the womens.Such peoples can not do any good things.

There is nothing wrong in following any religion as long as it support and promotes the humanitarian values and creates a society free from Discrimination for all (Are you sure Islam delivers these thing). When you see this world as an outsider, you will find the western countries to be more prosperous and with high human index rating, And Islamic countries being the lowest one even when they have high natural resources (UAE and few other countries can not be leveled as Islamic as they are very much influenced with the western ideology and have their own set of constitution). There could be few things which are not good in Christianity and in other religions but finally they have good and prosperous society as they know the boundaries of religion and don’t bring it in when not required.
I think some of the post already gave you some reference (For me it does not matter as any one can gather some information and write the book, and finally as a end user we would be using those references to justify ones clime). Well first you should understand that Worship places /Temples in India were just not for the Prayer but they were also the center for social and scientific information in Pre Islamic time (even as now). THERE COULD BE MANY MORE BRAHMACHARI TYPE PEOPLE WHO MIGHT COME AND SAY THE SAME THING, THE WEST WAY TO FIND THE TRUTH IS TO MAKE THOROUGH SCIENTIFIC & ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF THESE PALCES AND THIS IS SOMTHING HE IS SUGGESTING. And do not forget that History is normally written by the people in Power. A lot of islamic religious places have the inner old structure similar to the ancient Indian structure specially in the foundation, while out side being the Islamic one. any one can see these things in many religious palces in India. I think it was not posible in the ancient time to bulid the outer structure first and thanthe Foundation.
And by the way it was not only Hindus but also the Budhist, Jainists and Christian(came to south asia before the birth of islam) who suffered the Islamic Conquest. And this is not appeasement as he is not going to be a pohe You should also imagine that even now when we are so advance and have an active media these extreamist people can force the animal law /shariat law, like for females (Full burqa from head to toe), public beatings, sexual harrasement, and chooping of heads, hands, feet and so one, what would have they done at the time of invasion in south asia and other part of the world.
Well I think Christian are responsible for all this mess as this was their duty to stop mohammad from invasion and secondly it was hindus who could not stop these invaders from entering into India even after having the strong kingdom at that time and let so many people killed and converted. I think god is punishing both of them in his way for not performing their duty as More power comes with more responsibilites.


so Yohan. Here other my

so Yohan. Here other my friends gave you THE PROOF, you were asking about. Only xxxxxxx like Sheikh Deedat and his lapdog Joker Naik turn a blind eye to the the fact that "ISLAM IS SPREAD BY SWORD". On top of this they claim it to be religion of peace, secular and say it is spread by peaceful manner. You gullible muslims of continent give into this lie trusting their word.


#26 Exactly , Now Hindus

#26 Exactly , Now Hindus also believe in self-defense, if faith, life, liberty or property is threatened . This the reason for Bombay Riots and Godra(Ayodya is done, More to come in future. Mathura, Varanasi etc ).Are you happy about this.
