Mughal India - The biggest holocaust in the world
The world is all ears to the sob stories of Muslims. There is sympathy for their plight, there are worldwide protests and rampant Hinduphobia in the media if their interests are even slightly threatened and oftentimes, its the Muslims who are suffering the retribution over something which they instigated in the first place and then the blame game begins and the Hindus are held accountable for retaliation and being intolerant to the atrocious nature of this so called 'peaceful minority'.
The genocide suffered by the Hindus of India at the hands of Arab, Turkish, Mughal and Afghan occupying forces for a period of 800 years is as yet formally unrecognized by the world.
With the invasion of India by Mahmud Ghazni about 1000 A.D., began the Muslim invasions into the Indian subcontinent and they lasted for several centuries. Nadir Shah made a mountain of the skulls of the Hindus he killed in Delhi alone. Babur raised towers of Hindu skulls at Khanua when he defeated Rana Sanga in 1527 and later he repeated the same horrors after capturing the fort of Chanderi. Akbar ordered a general massacre of 30,000 Rajputs after he captured Chittorgarh in 1568. The Bahamani Sultans had an annual agenda of killing a minimum of 100,000 Hindus every year.
The history of medieval India is full of such instances. The holocaust of the Hindus in India continued for 800 years, till the brutal regimes were effectively overpowered in a life and death struggle by the Sikhs in Punjab and the Hindu Maratha armies in other parts of India in the late 1700’s.
We have elaborate literary evidence of the world’s biggest holocaust from existing historical contemporary eyewitness accounts. The historians and biographers of the invading armies and subsequent rulers of India have left quite detailed records of the atrocities they committed in their day-to-day encounters with India’s Hindus.
These contemporary records boasted about and glorified the crimes that were committed and the genocide of tens of millions of Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and Jains, mass rapes of women and the destruction of thousands of ancient Hindu/Buddhist temples and libraries have been well documented and provide solid proof of the world’s biggest holocaust.
**Quotes from modern historians**
Dr. Koenraad Elst in his article “Was There an Islamic Genocide of Hindus?” 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 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.
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).“
He also writes 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.”
Will Durant argued 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.”
Francois Gautier in his book ‘Rewriting Indian History’ (1996) wrote:
“The massacres perpetuated by Muslims in India are unparalleled in history, bigger than the holocaust of the Jews by the Nazis, or the massacre of the Armenians by the Turks, more extensive even than the slaughter of the South American native populations by the invading Spanish and Portuguese.”
Alain Danielou in his book, Histoire de l’ Inde writes:
“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.”
Irfan Husain in his article “Demons from the Past” observes:
“While historical events should be judged in the context of their times, it cannot be denied that even in that bloody period of history, no mercy was shown to the Hindus unfortunate enough to be in the path of either the Arab conquerors of Sindh and south Punjab or the Central Asians who swept in from Afghanistan. The Muslim heroes who figure larger than life in our history books committed some dreadful crimes. Mahmud of Ghazni, Qutb-ud-Din Aibak, Balban, Mohammed bin Qasim, and Sultan Mohammad Tughlak, all have blood-stained hands that the passage of years has not cleansed. Seen through Hindu eyes, the Muslim invasion of their homeland was an unmitigated disaster.
“Their temples were razed, their idols smashed, their women raped, their men killed or taken slaves. When Mahmud of Ghazni entered Somnath on one of his annual raids, he slaughtered all 50,000 inhabitants. Aibak killed and enslaved hundreds of thousands. The list of horrors is long and painful. These conquerors justified their deeds by claiming it was their religious duty to smite non-believers. Cloaking themselves in the banner of Islam, they claimed they were fighting for their faith when, in reality, they were indulging in straightforward slaughter and pillage…”
A sample of contemporary eyewitness accounts of the invaders and rulers, during the Indian conquests
The Afghan ruler Mahmud al-Ghazni invaded India no less than seventeen times between 1001 – 1026 AD. The book ‘Tarikh-i-Yamini’ – written by his secretary documents several episodes of his bloody military campaigns: “The blood of the infidels flowed so copiously at the Indian city of Thanesar that the stream was discolored, notwithstanding its purity, and people were unable to drink it. The infidels deserted the fort and tried to cross the foaming river but many of them were slain, taken or drowned. Nearly fifty thousand men were killed.”
In the contemporary record – ‘ Taj-ul-Ma’asir’ by Hassn Nizam-i-Naishapuri, it is stated that when Qutb-ul- Din Aibak (of Turko – Afghan origin and the First Sultan of Delhi 1194 – 1210 AD) conquered Meerut, he demolished all the Hindu temples of the city and erected mosques on their sites. In the city of Aligarh, he converted Hindu inhabitants to Islam by the sword and beheaded all those who adhered to their own religion.
The Persian historian Wassaf writes in his book ‘Tazjiyat-ul-Amsar wa Tajriyat ul Asar’ that when the Alaul-Din Khilji (an Afghan of Turkish origin and second ruler of the Khilji Dynasty in India 1295-1316 AD) 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.”*
Timur was a Turkic conqueror and founder of the Timurid Dynasty. Timur’s Indian campaign (1398 – 1399 AD) was recorded in his memoirs, collectively known as ‘Tuzk-i-Timuri.’ In them, he vividly described probably the greatest gruesome act in the entire history of the world – where 100,000 Hindu prisoners of war in his camp were executed in a very short space of time. Timur after taking advice from his entourage says in his memoirs :
“they said that on the great day of battle these 100,000 prisoners could not be left with the baggage and that it would be entirely opposed to the rules of war to set these idolaters and foes of Islam at liberty."*
“In fact, no other course remained but that of making them all food for the sword"*
Timur thereupon resolved to put them to death. He proclaimed :
“throughout the camp that every man who has infidel prisoners was to put them to death, and whoever neglected to do so should himself be executed and his property given to the informer. When this order became known to the ghazis of Islam, they drew their swords and put their prisoners to death. 100,000 infidels, impious idolaters, were on that day slain. Maulana Nasir-ud-din Umar, a counselor and a man of learning, who, in all his life had never killed a sparrow, now, in execution of my order, slew with his sword fifteen idolatrous Hindus, who were his captives“.*
During his campaign in India – Timur describes the scene when his army conquered the Indian city of Delhi :
“In a short space of time all the people in the Delhi fort were put to the sword, and in the course of one hour, the heads of 10,000 infidels were cut off. The sword of Islam was washed in the blood of the infidels, and all the goods and effects, the treasure and the grain which for many a long year had been stored in the fort became the spoil of my soldiers.*
“They set fire to the houses and reduced them to ashes, and they razed the buildings and the fort to the ground. All these infidel Hindus were slain, their women and children, and their property and goods became the spoil of the victors. I proclaimed throughout the camp that every man who had infidel prisoners should put them to death, and whoever neglected to do so should himself be executed and his property given to the informer. When this order became known to the ghazis of Islam, they drew their swords and put their prisoners to death.”*
The Mughal emperor Babur (who ruled India from 1526 -1530 AD) writing in his memoirs called the ‘Baburnama’ – wrote: ” 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!”*
The atrocities of the Mughal ruler Shah Jahan (who ruled India between 1628 – 1658 AD) are mentioned in the contemporary record called: ‘Badshah Nama, Qazinivi & Badshah Nama, Lahori’ and goes on to state: “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 (to save their honor) burnt themselves to death. Those captured were distributed among Muslim Mansabdars (Noblemen)”
The Afghan ruler Ahmad Shah Abdali attacked India in 1757 AD and made his way to the holy Hindu city of Mathura, the Bethlehem of the Hindus and birthplace of Krishna.
The atrocities that followed are recorded in the contemporary chronicle called: ‘Tarikh-I-Alamgiri’ :
“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.”*
Banda Singh Bahadur was tortured to death after being imprisoned for 3 months. The heart of Banda Singh’s son was put in his mouth in an attempt to humiliate him
Why we should remember?
The biggest holocaust in world history has been whitewashed from history.
When we hear the word 'holocaust', most of us think immediately of the Jewish holocaust. Today, with increased awareness and countless cinema films and television documentaries, many of us are also aware of the holocaust of the Native American people, the genocide of the Armenian people in the Ottoman Empire, and the millions of African lives lost during the Atlantic slave trade.
Europe and America produced at least a few thousand films highlighting the human misery caused by Hitler and his army. The films expose the horrors of the Nazi regime and reinforce the beliefs and attitude of the present day generation towards the evils of the Nazi dictatorship.
In contrast, look at India. There is hardly any awareness among the Indians of today of what happened to their ancestors in the past because a great majority of historians are reluctant to touch this sensitive subject.
**The world seems to either ignore or just does not seem to care about the many millions of lives lost during the 800 years long holocaust of Hindus, Sikhs, and Buddhists in India.**
The Indian historian Professor K.S. Lal estimates that the Hindu population in India decreased by 80 million between 1000 AD and 1525 AD, an extermination unparalleled in world history. This slaughter of millions of people occurred over regular periods during many centuries of Arab, Afghan, Turkish and Mughal rule in India.
Many Indian heroes emerged during these dark times, including the 10th Sikh Guru – Guru Gobind Singh and also the Hindu Maratha king – Shivaji Maharaj, who led the resistance against this tyranny and eventually led to its defeat by the late 1700s after centuries of death and destruction.
The modern world today is facing a global threat from organizations and groups of terrorists such as ISIS, Taliban, and Al-Qaeda whose ideology is chillingly similar to that of the perpetrators of the world’s biggest holocaust in India.
Let us hope that the bloody lessons of the past are learned so that history does not even have the remotest chance of repeating itself.

im. i need neutral non-extremist facts/takes/opinions on communalism in india. I get that this is a sensitive topic and extremism is a vicious cycle because extremism from one side only makes the other more defensive and less objective and vice versa but I'm getting tired of the destruction of nuance because i don't know what to believe anymore and it's giving me a headache because everyone, hindus, muslims and everyone else is ready to attack you for so much as questioning or trying to get unbiased, fact-checked information. the insane thing is everyone has an extremely believable narrative and it's impossible to fact-check it because no one's willing to be objective about it?? it's like admitting a huge huge proportion of hindus are islamophobic and that islamophobia is a real problem in this country is taboo for hindus speaking out against hinduphobia (the word in itself AND islamophobia, which incidentally are both extremely controversial terms because they're apparently not real and in fact hindutva/white liberal scams to promote their agenda respectively) because clearly the two ideas can't coexist. but also...it's impossible for muslims to admit a large proportion of muslims are hinduphobic as well?? that yes, they're minorities and definitely face oppression in this country, but there ARE hindus being persecuted both in india and around it in huge numbers and this is a problem that needs to be acknowledged too? that it's very difficult to critique or question even certain schools of islam (correct me if I'm wrong here because I'm genuinely trying my best to fact check everything, but the majority of muslims across the world believe it's a sin to renounce islam that warrants serious legal punishment, how closely religion is tied to governance leaving little room for non believers to be open about their beliefs in muslim-majority countries, etc) because it's literally undeniable that extremism IS a huge problem on both sides and there ARE a significant number of muslims who are religiously intolerant as has been proven over and over again and they need to be condemned as much??! and again I get why it's so hard to do this when everyone is so defensive because any accountability means getting pounced on and slandered from both sides. especially when you add the layer of cultural (and generally islamophobic; i.e. disguising intolerance for different cultures as moral activism e.g. the controversy of banning hijabs in karnataka because they're "backward" by colonial western or hindu standards) vs religious (generally radically islam; e.g. refusing to acknowledge that much like the english language, a significant part of the current muslim population in india is a souvenir of a history of colonialism and that does matter - forced conversions, intolerance, exploitation that wasn't entirely ethical - which doesn't reduce its present significance as an important religious demographic or make converting to it bad or inferior or imply it needs to be exterminated the same way prioritising english isn't but is important to acknowledge) colonialism. genuinely trying to educate myself as objectively as possible here and while I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get hate for this post from both sides...your nuanced thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated
although i will say id prefer to hear from desi people; westerners especially americans i understand your good intentions but our situation is very different from yours there's literally no way you can grasp the nuance here and i have heard enough of your takes over something that's not about you already:)

I genuinely can't stand the daisy Jones and six show. I fucking hate everything about it(except Camilla dune) and more than that I hate people who defend the show or Billy and Daisy.
The show literally killed her so the cheaters can have their happy ending and there are people who defend that shit!? Like, lmao what!
I really want every social media to stop shoving this show on my face. I am fucking tired of this cheaters and their happy ending. It's infuriating.
The defenders of Billy and daisy are really something. You know they will do what their OTP did without any remorse.
Camilla dune deserved better.

Mal antis in general, but especially those who are also darklinas - tell me you're not comparing a 17 year old boy to a several hundred year old grisha who groomed a 17 year old girl 🤨🤚
Like sure, mal had poor communication skills but so did alina! And they were both still kids, not to mention that the whole trilogy is solely from alina's pov so we're perceiving things the way she is. Imagine your best friend/crush being taken from you and all your attempts at contact are not met with any response and then thinking they want nothing to do with you. Your closest and oldest friend.
Imagine deserting the army and having a coart martial hanging over your head for them. Imagine then having to compete against a prince, knowing you cannot give her the riches and the lavish life he can.
Imagine giving up everything for her and then being despised by everyone for having the gall to be upset?? Are y'all genuinely fr? He acted as any 17 year old under these circumstances would and expressed human fucking emotions, only to be called bland and villainised. Him. Over a 400+ year old power hungry groomer. Unfuckingbelievable.

They really just killed her so the cheater and mistress can have their happy ending.
What a shitty show.

I don't wanna watch the glorification of cheating show and killing the poor women in end so the mistress and cheater can finally be together.

Everyone's absolutely rallying over the opportunity to cancel another celebrity woman every week of the year. Another day rolls around and your social media feeds are swarming with fumingly instigated drama for you to pick a "team". To give you the hall pass for sightless bullying, to participate & watch the possibility of dismantlement of another undeserving woman, dropping off her throne.
I firmly believe that internalized misogyny and the pick-me behavior is so prevalent in today's society because girls understand from very early ages that what's expected of them is unfair, and in most cases, impossible without compromising from several aspects.
This creates shame & anger because it makes girls feel like they're somehow misadjusted for feeling the burden, when everyone else is seemingly okay and able to somewhat achieve what's excepted from an ideal female lifespan. Because it's not socially acceptable to show disdain or hurt the compromisation creates. Thus, many women settle with opportunistic bouts of bringing shame upon fellow women in higher places.
You're against your own team. Wishing you safe return.

idc hailey bieber has my full support. the amount of hate she’s been getting for the past 5 years has been insane and the vile stuff that’s being said to her right now is a disgrace. people get their info from tiktok and just run with it and think it gives them justification to harass people or wish death upon them. also, selena commenting on those tiktoks was instigating shit. she’s done stuff like that before and it’s weird. i truly do not understand why her or her fans continue to post things or are liking/sharing stuff that has to do with justin and hailey. its fucking weird. they’ve been married for 5 years now. they used to date back in 2015/16. clearly they’re in love and are just minding their business. this hate campaign that’s happening towards hailey in the name of selena is sick in the head behavior. i thought selena promoted about taking care of your mental health, supporting women, and being kind?? harassing someone, bashing their looks, shaming them, bullying them, and saying they should die doesn’t fall in line with anything your so-called fave promotes.
i truly believe society loves any opportunity to shame and harass women. female celebrities get harassed more than male celebrities who have actually caused harm to people. people love to find any way to make women miserable and hurt them. they love to revel in their trauma and misery. they also love being the cause of it. and because there’s this belief that social media isn’t a “big deal” because everything’s online, people don’t care about any of the repercussions of their actions or words. they don’t see the hurt or trauma someone experiences from what happens online, and when that person comes out to express how they feel, they’re told they deserve it or should suck it up because they’re in the spotlight and that’s just life for them. why are we tolerable towards spreading hate to others? why are people so comfortable with finding gratification in that? in my opinion, this hailey/selena situation is much bigger than some celebrity drama. the conversation we need to be having is why are people willing to say and do the most extreme things on the behalf of celebrities, the harm of parasocial relationships and worship culture, and how tearing down women is a hobby of many men and women.
all in all, i don’t give a fuck whether you like hailey or not. there’s something seriously wrong with you if you believe someone, a HUMAN BEING, should receive hate in this way. if you don’t like her, don’t pay attention to her! it’s very easy! but just something i think everyone should think about is if you would feel comfortable if people associated with your partner’s ex was constantly harassing you? probably not!! i actually think you would be quite fed the fuck up!! so why put someone else through that??

I can't believe she got away with this much bs. The way I hate her for this.
WTF is wrong with her.
"Sari, not sari". The urge to vomit and cringe is real.

Let me say it again, she did all of this and got away with it.
My culture is not a fucking costume.
What did Selena Gomez do to Southeast Asians?
*south asians.
lmfao so much cultural appropriation. she wore the bindi multiple times
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
she used indian music in her songs and called it tribal and middle eastern, and when she was called out for all of it she wore a sari complete with bangles, a bindi, and the beaded mala to show how edgy she is and posted it with this embarrassingly stupid and racist caption (with the prayer hand emoji)
