Mughal India - The biggest holocaust in world history
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.
Never forgive. Never forget. Rise up.

Krishnadevaraya.
Krishnadevaraya was an emperor of the Vijayanagara Empire, who reigned from 1509 to 1529. He was the third ruler of the Tuluva Dynasty.[citation needed] He ruled the largest empire in India after the decline of the Delhi Sultanate. Presiding over the empire at its zenith, he is regarded as an icon by many Indians. Krishnadevaraya earned the titles Karnatakaratna simhasanadeeshwara ("king of Karnataka Ratna Simhasana"), Yavvana raja pratistaphanacharya ("Establisher of Young king to Bahamani Throne"), Kannada Rajya Rama Ramana ("Lord of the Kannada empire"), Andhra Bhoja ("Andhra Scholar King" or "King Bhoja of Andhra"), Gaubrahmana Pratipalaka ("Protector of cows and brahmins") and Mooru Rayara Ganda ("King of Three Kings"). He became the dominant ruler of the peninsula by defeating the sultans of Bijapur, Golconda, the Bahmani Sultanate and the Gajapatis of Odisha, and was one of the most powerful Hindu rulers in India. Indeed, when the Mughal Emperor Babur was taking stock of the potentates of north India, he rated Krishnadevaraya the most powerful, with the most extensive empire in the subcontinent. He earned the titles of 'Kannada Rajya Rama Ramana' , 'Andhra Bhoja' and 'Mooru Rayara Ganda'.

List of the reasons for the decline of all the five dynasties of the Delhi Sultanate
Tumblr media
Table of the reasons for the decline of all the dynasties of the Delhi Sultanate: DynastyReasons for declineMamluk dynastyLack of a clear succession rule, frequent power struggles, and rebellions by the noblesKhalji dynastyOverexpansion, economic problems, and the death of Alauddin KhiljiTughlaq dynastyAutocratic rule of Muhammad bin Tughlaq, economic problems, and the loss of territorySayyid dynastyWeak rulers and internal conflictsLodi dynastyFrequent power struggles and the invasion of Babur The Delhi Sultanate was a powerful empire that ruled over much of northern India for over 300 years. However, it eventually declined due to a number of factors, including: - Lack of a clear succession rule: The rulers of the Delhi Sultanate came to power through military conquest, and there was no clear law of succession. This led to frequent power struggles and instability. - Frequent power struggles: The nobles of the Delhi Sultanate were very powerful, and they often vied for control of the throne. This led to instability and a lack of strong leadership. - Rebellions by the nobles: The nobles of the Delhi Sultanate were often dissatisfied with the rulers, and they sometimes rebelled against them. This further weakened the Sultanate. - Overexpansion: The Delhi Sultanate expanded rapidly under the Khalji dynasty, but this led to economic problems and difficulty in controlling the vast empire. - Economic problems: The Delhi Sultanate was often plagued by economic problems, such as inflation and famine. This made it difficult to maintain a strong army and bureaucracy. - Autocratic rule: Some of the rulers of the Delhi Sultanate, such as Muhammad bin Tughlaq, were very autocratic. This led to resentment among the people and made it difficult to maintain order. - Loss of territory: The Delhi Sultanate lost territory to its enemies, such as the Mongols and the Bahmani Sultanate. This further weakened the Sultanate. - Invasion by Babur: The Delhi Sultanate was finally overthrown by the Mughals under Babur in 1526. Read the full article

Bringing Indian Sultanate Coins' Magnificence to Light with Glittering Treasures
Tumblr media
INTRODUCTION
India is a country that has seen many kingdoms come and go, and its ancient lands are home to a vast collection of historical artifacts. The Sultanate coins are one of these enduring artifacts, tangible reminders of a time when the Indian subcontinent was ruled by a number of strong Islamic rulers. These coins are priceless windows into the past, providing information on the political, social, and cultural aspects of medieval India.
The Sultanate coins, which were created with extreme care and accuracy, contain tales of strength, conquest, and cultural fusion. They serve as a reminder of the several dynasties, like the Delhi Sultanate, Bengal Sultanate coins, Bahmani Sultanate coins, Delhi sultanate coins, and many others, that ruled over various parts of India. Each dynasty left its own distinctive imprint on the coins, which included elaborate calligraphy, religious motifs, and ruler images that demonstrated the era's changing aesthetic sensibilities and managerial prowess.
Sultan Ghalyah Ud dins Tughluq's gold coin from the Delhi Sultanate.
During Sultan Ghalyah Ud din Tughluq's rule, which lasted from 1320 to 1325 CE, the political climate in medieval India underwent a considerable change. His steadfast and aspirational administration was characterized by wide-ranging territorial extensions, institutional changes, and a passion for architectural wonders. As a result of these efforts, the gold coin of Sultan Ghalyah Ud din Tughluq became a symbol of his dynastic grandeur and richness, serving as a testament to his power and fortune.
Sultan Ghalyah Ud din Tughluq's gold coin is evidence of the aesthetic and technological accomplishments made at the time. On one side, a complex design with a grand portrait of the sultan himself is striking with astonishing detail. A turban and ornate jeweler embellish the regal countenance, which radiates a sense of authority and sophistication. There are Arabic calligraphic inscriptions all around the portrait that state the ruler's name, titles, and occasionally even his family history, dispelling any lingering questions about his legitimacy and ancestry.
Muhammad bin Tughluq's heavy gold dinar coin from the Delhi Sultanate.
The Delhi Sultanate was forever changed by Muhammad bin Tughluq, who ruled from 1325 to 1351. His ambitious decision to move the imperial capital from Delhi to Daulat Abad, which turned out to be a logistical nightmare, was one of several novel measures he launched in his pursuit of centralization and administrative improvements. The gold dinar coins connected to his rule are evidence of his ambitions and the financial means used to support them.
Muhammad bin Tughluq's gold-heavy dinar coin is well known for being heavier than other dinar coins made during his time period. These coins, which were about 12 grams in weight, were different from the region's customary gold coins. Muhammad bin Tughluq probably wanted to demonstrate his might and raise the perceived worth of his currency, signifying his monetary might and sovereignty, by choosing to mint heftier gold dinars.
Baz Bahadur's silver tanka coin from the Malwa Sultanate.
The Malwa Sultanate, which ruled over modern-day Madhya Pradesh from the 14th to the 16th century, was a well-known Islamic monarchy. The Malwa sultans left a lasting impression on the history of the area, which was renowned for its rich cultural heritage and encouragement of the arts. When Baz Bahadur came to power in 1555, the Malwa Sultanate's currency reflected his own creative sensibility as a poet and lover of music and literature.
The Malwa Sultanate Silver Tanka Coin of Baz Bahadur still has the attention of enthusiasts, historians, and collectors alike today. It serves as a representation of the Malwa Sultanate's aesthetic excellence, rich cultural legacy, and historical importance. We ask you to join us on this expedition as we delve into the minute intricacies and reveal the mysterious stories that lie behind this magnificent currency, commemorating the Malwa Sultanate's lasting appeal and its legacy as symbolized by Baz Bahadur's Silver Tanka currency.
Conclusion:
Finally, it can be said that the Sultanate coins of India have a prominent place in the rich numismatic history of the nation. The political, economic, and cultural advancements of the Middle Ages are well-understood via the study of these coins, which were struck under the numerous kingdoms that ruled over diverse regions at the time.

History of Goa
Goa has a rich and complex history dating back to prehistoric times. The region was ruled by various dynasties, including the Mauryas, Satavahanas, and Chalukyas, before it was annexed by the Bahmani Sultanate in the 14th century. In the early 16th century, Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama arrived in Goa, and in 1510, the Portuguese conquered the region and made it their colony.

Under Portuguese rule, Goa became an important center of trade and commerce, with the city of Old Goa serving as the capital of the Portuguese Estado da India. The Portuguese also introduced Christianity to the region, and built numerous churches, chapels, and other religious buildings, many of which still stand today as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
In the mid-20th century, Goa became a part of independent India, after a prolonged struggle for liberation from Portuguese rule. Today, the state of Goa is a vibrant, multi-cultural society that has preserved its unique blend of Indian and Western influences. Read more

I feel like the Maratha history is quite neglected even though it's fascinating, right?
isn’t it!!??
It starts from the Yadava kingdom of Devagiri (as far as I know) which was rumoured to be so rich that even the poorest had two pots of gold at all times
it ends with the Third Anglo-Maratha War, and then completely after the Revolt of 1857
in between you have Alauddin’s conquest, the Bahmani sultanate, the Bijapuri and Ahmednagar sultanates, the Mughals, the Chhatrapatis, the Peshwas and then the individual kingdoms of the various Maratha chiefs

How the Delhi Sultanate Invaded South India and Sparked a Rebellion | Vijayanagar Empire History
In the medieval era, the Delhi Sultanate repeatedly invaded South India, which led to widespread rebellion and the birth of the Vijayanagar Empire.  The history of these invasions involve many fascinating events and leaders, like Alauddin Khilji, Malik Kafur, Muhammed bin Tughlaq, Prataparudra, and Harihara.
Today, the ruins at Warangal and Hampi (a UNESCO world heritage site) offer a glimpse into the grand history and drama surrounding the Vijayanagar Empire and its long-time rival, the Bahmani Sultanate.  But most visitors have only a vague understanding of the Indo-Turkic Delhi Sultanate’s role in creating this new and prosperous political order -- one that would ultimately prove among the greatest in the subcontinent's long history.
