Aurangzeb Later Mughals Nadir Shah Sambhaji Shivaji sinAbdul Muzaffar Muhiuddin Muhammad Aurangzeb Bahadur Alamgir I, Padshah Ghazi aka aurangazeb was the greatest Mughal Emperor of all the time but only after the Akbar the great. Although he was a great winner throughout his wretched life he was a bad and notorious emperor who set destruction of his own empire and illustrious dynasty into motion. Although he was a pious and holy Qoran bound Mussalman and lived pious life as stated by historians, he was full of all negative qualities and religious intolerance that finally resulted in destruction of Mughal Empire. Although he was a great achiever by no mean standards the way he ruled was most outrageous and unworthy of an emperor...............

Mughals Faukhsiyar Jahandar shah Lakumari Zulfikhar KhanThe last great Mughal Aurangzeb ruled at Delhi for nearly half a century between 1658-1707 with iron grip and he died on 03 March 1707. After his death Mughal Empire fell into disarray. Before he died he willed that the empire be equally divided between his three sons. His sons Moazzam, Mohammed Azam and Kambaksh however quarreled tooth and nail for the empire and one of the surviving sons and elder Prince Moazzam became victorious in the war of succession and became emperor titled (Shah Alam I ) Bahadur Shah I. Other two died in the wars. He was already very old of 75 years when he ascended the throne and had little energy and time to set order in the troubled great empire. The persecuting and revengeful policies alienated one and all. He however started the reconciliation with Sikh Guru Gobind Singh. Sikhs were severely persecuted by Mughals. He however died on 27 Feb 1712 after a short span of five years.
Then the musical chair for the throne started. With death of Bahadur Shah I, his sons, Jahandar Shah, Azim us Shan, Jehan Shah and Rafi us Shan quarreled like cats and dogs and Jahandar Shah became victorious and others were killed in the wars. A noble Zulfikhar Khan helped Jahandar Shah in the war of succession and he became Chief minister of Mughal state when Jahandar Shah became emperor.................

Submitted by K Prabhakar Rao on Tue, 01/29/2008 - 10:28. Aurangzeb Jijabai Kondana Lord Shiva Pune Rajgarh Shivaji Suryaji Tanaji Malsure UdaybhanChatrapati ( King of kings) Shivaji Maharaj ( Great king) established Hindu empire in Deccan right under the nose of fundamentalist Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in 17 century. He was a dare devil and was greatly feared by the Mughals. He is considered to be the incarnation of Lord Shiva and very greatly respected and revered. He stopped Islamisation of India at a most crucial time and was ably supported by his famous Generals many of whom were his child hood friends and followers. Tanaji Malsure was one among them. Kondana fort is a strong hill fort that is located few KM from Pune a very important city in Maharashtra. Rajgarh , the capital city of Shivaji is also an hill fort and Kondana fort could seen from a distance. Many battles were fought for the control of this fort and it was under the control of Mughal fort commander Udaybhan who was a very brave Rajput warrior and ace swords man of the times. Tanaji malsure at the orders of Shivaji attacked Kondana fort in the dark night and with selected men climbed the steep hill fort wall using rope ladders that was launched over the fort walls with the help of a monitor lizard. The attack was a surprise and there was a bitter fight in the fort and Tanaji and Udaybhan met in combat in which Udaybhan was cut into two by Tanaji. However Tanaji also was wounded and died bleeding. Next morning the King arrived knowing the capture of the fort. On seeing the dead body of Tanaji he lamented Garh ala par sinh gela. The fort was renamed as Sinhgarh (Lion fort). Statue of Tanaji has been erected in the fort, Capture of this fort is considered as one of the most daring attack in world military history. Tanaji in spite of the wedding of his son on the crucial night led the attack personally and sacrificed his life for this king and country. Such men are the real sons of the soil and their memory is immortal. The episode is presented as a long poem.
Sufism and Hinduism resemble each other very closely

Adi sankaracharya Aurangzeb Baba Farid Dara shikoh faith Hamiduddin Nagauri Kawaja Moinuddin Chisties Khaja Banda nawaz Muhi al Din Ibn i Arabi Nizamuddin Awlia Shahejahan sufi Suhrawardia sectLike any world religion, Islam too suffered fissures and different schools of thought emerged after death of the prophet Mohammed (PBUH) of it’s founding. Sufism is a branch of Islam and has suffered much at the hands of fundamentalist Muslims. The fundamental difference between Sufism and main branch of Islam is that it is based on devotion to God while the main branch is dependent on Shariat, the religious law (2). Denouncing of materialistic comforts and bodily pleasures, maintaining silence, remorse for acts of one’s mistakes, to show love towards all beings and immense faith in Allah are the tenets of Sufism. These are very similar to Hinduism that preaches devotion to God (Bhakti Marga ). Islamic terrorism in the form of misguided Jihad propagated by Sunni Wahabi sect goes unabated paying least consideration to the noble Sufi thought with in Islam. Wahabi Sunni consider all others as heretics who do not subscribe to their fundamentalist Jihadi philosophy. Thus Sufi Islam is unable to influence the fundamental Muslims from the main stream to see reason and desist from violence, hatred and terrorism. This is the tragedy in Islam today. However in India, it helped to reduce religious tensions between Muslims and Hindus. It also resulted in emergence of Sikhism by virtue of their tolerant theology and universal peace and love. Purity of mind and sadhana (self-disciplined meditation) and guidance of guru became more important, than study of scriptures; in both religions. Infact all religions preach universal love, compassion, tolerance, and sacrifice. But Sufism has been identified separately by virtue of their devotion to God, secluded and withdrawn lives, renunciation of desires and non violence apart from the aspect of being away from power politics. Its concept of God and soul are akin to Hinduism and therefore won laurels of Hindu theologians and common people in India.

Pseudo secularism
Submitted by K Prabhakar Rao on Fri, 12/28/2007 - 08:11. Aurangzeb hyderabad kashmir MK Gandhi Mughalistan Partition Sardar Patel Tasleema Nasreen Uttar PradeshIndia declared itself as the secular country at the time of independence and Muslims were given option to stay back or leave for Pakistan. Many have migrated and scores remained. But fact is that Muslim league was given more than 90 % votes at the time of granting independence that advocated partition of the country. Consequently India was partitioned. At the time of independence, Sardar (Leader) Patel, the former Deputy Prime Minister of India Stated that Muslims were free to migrate from India and if they choose to remain could not have dual loyalties. What he anticipated in 1947 happened soon. Patel is no more. His prophecy has become true. Muslims after partition mostly withdrew from the main stream and confined themselves into groups and identified with their religion than with the country. Every aspect was being linked to the religion (1). No doubt they felt at risk in majority India. The successive governments too followed appeasement policies to gain confidence of Muslim voters and this has resulted in a feeling that they have some special status in India and are required to be pampered. There were many communal riots in India at many places including Hyderabad. A section of Muslims openly supported Pakistan on all maters and Middle East than India. There were saner Muslims. But their voice was not heard. No one ventured to speak against the fundamentalists. The partition has driven permanent wedge between both the communities and fear of mistrust has become permanent in India. The assassination of MK Gandhi in 1948 itself was the outcome of severe dissatisfaction over his Muslim appeasement policies during the freedom struggle and partition of the country that it permanent damage to the nation. The Government continues the policy of appeasement and result is that Islamic terrorism has taken permanent roots in the country. Kashmir is threatened. Some even raised formation of Mughalistan in Uttar Pradesh areas (2). Government even hesitated to take action agsint the Muslim legislators who were responsible during the attacks on Tasleema Nasreen (3) and doctors at the hospitals in Hyderabad recently (4). All these incidents go to prove that pseudo secularism no doubt is practiced in the country. This article narrates the aspect of pseudo secularism in the form of English poems (5).
