A little knowledge is indeed a dangerous thing. Especially when an uncouth, illiterate has the audacity to think he can distort history. Mughals looted India every chance they got. And a considerable amount of their loot went to the Islamic cities of Mecca & Medina. The rest of the loot was hoarded in their treasuries while common people starved and those who resisted their vile oppression were slaughtered. Hindus were stripped of their land, & taxed to starvation while many of our temples which used to hold the world' largest treasuries of wealth - were plundered and destroyed. A record of exact statistics on Mughal money sent to Mecca begins with Akbar in 1576, who sent Rs. 600,000 with costly gifts like 12,000 dresses of honor & extra cash for constructing a Khanqah. The average salary for a normal Indian at this time was just 3 rupees per month. In 1577, Akbar sent Rs. 500,000 Rupees & 10,000 Khilats to distribute in Mecca. Another Rs. 100,000 & costly gifts for the Sharif of Mecca. In 1578, Rs. 400,000 were sent. Meanwhile desperate starving Indians turned to cannibalism while reeling from 2 huge famines under Akbar. Since the time of Akbar, the Mughals snatched away the land of Lakhs of Hindu villagers if they dared to refuse to pay the tribute forcefully extracted from them. They were labelled “criminals”. Mughal generals would destroy villages, & chop Hindu's heads to display in the royal square, then hang them on trees or pillars to create terror. Manucci describes seeing 10,000 such heads once with hair shaven & moustaches reddened by blood. Every tower held 100 heads. In the 34 years that Manucci lived in Mughal provinces, he would see thousands of fresh beheaded Hindu heads everytime he travelled from Agra to Delhi. The stench of the corpses was so strong that travelers had to hold their noses & rush past the macabre towers of horror. Jahangir continued siphoning off the loot to the Islamic homeland when he became king In 1605, sending Rs. 100,000 to the Sharif of Mecca. In 1622, he again sent Rs. 200,000 to be utilized in trade & all the profits were distributed to the poor in Mecca NOT Indians. In 1628, Shahjahan who was a violent Islamic zealot at heart became king. He reintroduced Jizya tax to oppress Hindus, & immediately sent half a million rupees to Mecca, showering Lakhs more over the next decade. The Sharifs of Mecca were so grateful that they gifted him the key to the Kaaba. From 1645 to 1650, Shah Jahan send over a Million Rupees to Mecca along with costly gifts like candlesticks studded with 100 carat diamonds worth Lakhs more. In the meantime his exploitative policies created a devastating famine in 1630-32 which killed 7 million+ Indians in Gujarat & Deccan alone. Shahjahan did nothing to help the dying famine victims. But he did have enough time to fill 2 huge treasure houses full of stolen gold & silver, each 70ft by 30ft or total 4200 sq ft. (Fort Knox vault is 4000 sq ft & holds~ $290 Billion) In 1659, when Aurangzeb the rabid Islamic fanatic snatched the throne the first thing he did was send Rs. 7 Lakhs to Mecca, which was accepted by the Sharif in 1662. Aurangzeb enforced a yearly fee of Lakhs to be sent to Mecca & even endowed Muslims in Mecca with yearly stipends! While he oppressed Hindus with Jizya, Aurangzeb continued to send millions in money & gifts throughout his life to Mecca. In typical Mughal tradition he also ensured that millions of Indians died in a famine created by his bloodthirsty lust for power from 1662-1665. Aurangzeb’s own official Islamic biography Maāsir-I-Ālamgiri itself lists him proudly destroying 300+ Hindu temples in Mewar in just one year alone (1680) in his hateful quest to forcibly convert India into Islam. Where do you think all the wealth from so many hundreds of plundered Hindu temples went? His taxation was so oppressive that even his sister and son pleaded with him to reduce the burden on people. Aurangzeb refused to even consider it. Even when the last descendants of the Mughals were floundering to save their empire, they ensured that Indian money was sent to their Islamic homeland in Mecca. We are told to cry for the wretched condition of the last vestiges of the Mughal Empire, but the last remnants like Farrukhsiyar & Bahadur Shah 1 themselves enforced an annual subsidy of Rs. 100,000 to Mecca & sent millions in gifts as well. The Timurids robbed Hindus of billions of $$ of wealth & sent it all to their Islamic homeland while starving millions of Hindus to death. Anybody who looks at the evidence objectively can see that. Gone are the times when we were ignorant of our history and would let you get away with the lies. Best for ignorant losers to zip their mouths now - because "Sanghis" are carrying receipts these days.

I agree with Prof. Thapar—but I’ll say what she won’t. The history of the Timurids must be taught as it was: from Babur’s declaration of Dar-ul-Islam, to Humayun’s refusal to aid the Rani of Chittor against Bahadur Shah because she was a kafir; from Akbar’s massacre of Chittor after the jauhar on the day of Holika Dahan, to Jahangir’s laws prescribing capital punishment for Hindus marrying Muslim women; from Shah Jahan’s man-made famine that killed nearly 7.4 million, to Aurangzeb’s systematic destruction of Hindu temples. Not selectively. Not cosmetically. But truth, in full daylight.
