Ironically, Shivaji tortured a Jewish merchant in an attempt to loot rubies and other riches from him.
François Bernier (1620-1688), a French traveller to India, wrote:
"The pertinacity of a Jew, a native of Constantinople, astonished everybody. Seva-Gi knew that he was in possession of most valuable rubies, which he intended to sell to Aureng-Zebe; but he persevered in stoutly denying the fact, although three times placed on his knees to receive the stroke of a sword flourished over his head. This conduct was worthy of a Jew, whose love of money generally exceeds his love of life."
This reminds me of Indian memes about the “Islamic caste system”, and it's just a bunch of different Indian Muslim groups that nobody outside of the subcontinent has ever even heard of
That or they claim sects like Sunni/shia are actually different “castes”

لكن النتيجة...
