In his view, Alexander, Genghis Khan, Emperor Akbar the Great, and Assassin Aurangzeb were great; Vimramaditya or the king of the Gupta dynasty was not great. In his view, greatness means cruelty, violence, deception, and conversion. From Hindukush to Arunachal and from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and Yudhishthira and his predecessor kings, some kings, including King Vikramaditya, Chandragupta Maurya, etc. ruled the whole of India.
In the Mughal period, the territories of Northeast India, including the Vijayanagar Empire, the Maratha Empire, the Rajput Empire, held independent power. And when the British started rule, Afghanistan (Kamboj and Gandhar) held their separate power. In such a situation, India that the British ruled was a fragmented India. The British had seized power not just from the Mughals - the Sikhs, the Marathas, and the Rajputs.
The political unity of Indian history was shattered after the fall of the Mauryan Empire in 187 BC. Due to this fragmented unity, many foreign invaders came from the north-western routes of the country and looted many parts on one side; on the other hand, they established their states. Some of these invaders and robbers were Mahakur and barbaric murderers who brutally crushed the Indian public.
An Ottoman chieftain named Alaptagin established the Ottoman Empire at Ghazni. In 977 AD, Alaptagin's son-in-law Subuktagin ruled Ghazni. Before his death, Subuktagin had spread his kingdom's boundaries to Afghanistan, Khorasan, Balkh, and Northwest India by fighting many battles. After the death of Subuktagin, his son Mahmud Ghaznavi ascended the throne of Ghazni. Mahmud Ghaznavi started attacking other parts of India, as ordered by the Caliph of Baghdad.
He invaded India 17 times between 1001 and 1026 AD. He vowed to invade other parts of India each year. In his 13th campaign, Ghaznavi conquered Bundelkhand, Kirat, and Lohkot, etc. The 14th attacked Gwalior and Kalinjar. In his 15th invasion, he shot Lodorg (Jaisalmer), Chiklodar (Gujarat), and Anhilwad (Gujarat) and looted a lot.
It is believed that Mahmud Ghaznavi made his 16th attack (1025 AD) on Somnath. He broke the famous temples there and gained immense wealth there. While looting this temple, Mahmud killed about 50,000 Brahmins and Hindus. Its discussion spread like fire across the country. The 17th attack he made on the Jats of the coastal areas of Sindh and Multan. The Jats were defeated in this.
After Mahmud Ghaznavi, Muhammad Ghori invaded India and committed indiscriminate slaughter and looting. Its full name was Shihabuddin alias Muizuddin Muhammad Ghori. The credit for establishing the Ottoman Empire in India goes to Muhammad Ghori. Ghori was the ruler of Gor, a small hill region between Ghazni and Herat.
He made the first invasion of Multan in 1175 AD, the second invasion of Gujarat in 1178 AD. He then conquered Punjab between 1179–86 AD. He then took Peshawar in 1179 AD and Sialkot in 1185 AD. In 1191 AD, he fought with Prithviraj Chauhan. Muhammad Ghori was severely defeated in this war. Gauri was taken hostage in this war but was released by Prithviraj Chauhan, and this was called the First War of Tarain.
After this, Muhammad Ghori attacked Prithviraj Chauhan with more power. This Second War of Tarain took place in 1192 AD. This time Prithviraj Chauhan was defeated in this war, and he was a hostage. It is believed that he was later taken to Ghazni and killed. Ghori returned to his kingdom again, establishing the rule of the slave dynasty in India.
(Mongolian name Chingis Khan, 1162 to 18 August 1227). Genghis Khan almost destroyed the Muslim empire. He was a Mongol ruler. He was a follower of Buddhism. Halaku Khan was also a Buddhist. Genghis was notorious for his organization's power, barbarism, and empire expansion. Entire countries, including India, Asia, and Arab countries, trembled in the name of Genghis Khan.
Genghis Khan was born around 1162 in the northern part of modern Mongolia, near the Onon River. His real or early name was Temujin (or Temuchin). His father's name was Yasujei, who was the head of the Kiryat clan.
In his campaign, Genghis Khan captured Kabul, Kandhar, Peshawar in western India, including Kashmir, Ghazni, and Kashmir. At this time, Genghis Khan thought of crossing the Indus River and returning to Mongolia via northern India and Assam. But he could not do it. In this way, North India survived possible looting and gloom.
According to new research, this brutal Mongol warrior looted and bloodied in his attacks that many countries, including China, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Tibet, and Burma, were wiped out in Asia. For Muslims, Genghis Khan and Halaku Khan were the wraths of Allah.
Timur Lung also wanted to become a ruler like Genghis Khan. He became the ruler of Samarkand in AD 1369. He then embarked on his journey of conquest and cruelty. The Mongols of Central Asia had become Muslims in the meantime, and Timur himself was also a Muslim. He was just like Genghis Khan in terms of cruelty. In one place, he built a tower of two thousand live men and got them selected in brick and mortar.
When Timur invaded India, the Tughlaq dynasty ruled in North India. With the invasion of Delhi by Timur Lung in 1399, the Tughlaq Empire's end should be considered. When Timur came with Mongols' army, he did not face any tough competition, and he proceeded with fun, slaughtering.
At the time of Timur's invasion, both Hindus and Muslims performed the Rajput ritual of Jauhar, that is, they went out to die fighting and to fight. He stayed in Delhi for 15 days and made this big city a slaughterhouse. Later he plundered Kashmir and returned to Samarkand. After the departure of Timur, Delhi became a city of the dead.
The founder of the Mughal dynasty, Babur, was a marauder. He committed many loots in North India. Babur was born in 1483 AD in Fargana (present-day Khokand), a very small jagir in the Samarkand state of Central Asia. His father, Omar Sheikh Mirza, Timurshah, and mother Kunluk Nigar Khanam, were descendants of Mongols.
Babur wrote his autobiography 'Tujuk e Babri' in Chagatai's Turkish language. It is also called Babarnama in history. Babar clashed with Ibrahim Lodi, the ruler of Delhi. The biggest confrontation of Babar's life was with Rana Sanga of Mewar. It is detailed in Baburnama. In the struggle, in 1927 AD, in the war of Khanwa, he finally got success.
Babur, in his victory letter, described himself as defying the foundation of idols. Babur received the title of Ghazi from this fierce struggle. Ghazi is the one who kills infidels. Babur not only massacred Hindus inhumanly and cruelly but also destroyed many Hindu temples. By Babur's orders, Mir Baqi built a mosque by destroying the famous temple built on the Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya, similarly destroyed several Jain temples in Urwa near Gwalior. He also destroyed the acclaimed and historical temples of Chanderi, which today are just ruined.
Aurangzeb was the cruelest of the Mughal rulers in India. Birth of Muhiuddin Muhammad Aurangzeb took place in 1618 AD. His father was Shah Jahan, and his mother's name was Mumtaz. Babur's son Nasiruddin Muhammad Humayun sat on the throne of Delhi. Jalaluddin Muhammad Akbar followed Humayun, Akbar, followed by Nuruddin Salim Jahangir, Jahangir, followed by Shahabuddin Muhammad Shah Jahan, Shah Jahan, followed by Muhiuddin Muhammad Aurangzeb.
Aurangzeb, the bloodiest ruler in India's history, who imprisoned his father, brutally murdered his immediate brothers and nephews, beheaded Guru Tegh Bahadur, selected the children of Guru Gobind Singh into the living wall, which tore hundreds of temples. The one who persecuted their subjects and made them commit themselves to non-Muslims in their area would accept Islam or be ready to die. Aurangzeb was a Turk. It was during this period that there was rapid Islamization of North India. Most of the Brahmins either had to become Muslims or left the state and took refuge in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh villages.
According to the famous historian Radhakrishna Bundeli of Uttar Pradesh, the Mughal ruler Aurangzeb ordered his army to destroy all the temples of Hindus on one of his orders issued in 1669. Somnath Temple, Varanasi Temple, Mathura's Keshav Rai Temple, besides many famous Hindu deities temples, were broken.
Aurangzeb banned the celebrations of Hindu festivals in public and ordered the demolition of Hindu temples. Aurangzeb had made the goal of converting Darul Herb (the country of infidels India) to Darul Islam (the nation of Islam). In 1669 AD, Aurangzeb broke the Vishwanath temple in Benares and Keshav Rai temple of Mathura.
