Teaching and research of medieval Indian history has been reduced to a farce in educational institutions the world over because of certain absurd assumptions. They all facetiously and fallaciously assume and presumptuously conjure and concoct accounts of so called Muslim glory, mercy, justice, revenue administration and what not. They conveniently forget or seem to be totally unaware that the Muslim hordes which stormed into India were composed of brutes and barbarians, who didn't sport even the slightest tinge of any culture or education. They were mean and lusty, drink and drug addicts. Islamic fanaticism dinned into them trained them to believe that massacring Hindus, slaughtering cows and raping their women were acts of the highest piety which ensured them an honored place in Jannat, the Islamic heaven. After every aggression they either slaughtered all those taken prisoner or took them as slaves for sodomy, sexual assaults or to be sold as slaves.
To describe the barbarous regimes of such brutes as periods of glory and justice is an act of academic dishonesty vitiating all current historical texts. Such assumptions even do violence to ordinary logic in misleading students that fire-eating and sabrerattling illiterate barbarians stampeding into India like a pack of hyenas suddenly blossomed into the most virtuous, kind and welfare-conscious potentates. This conclusion violates another rule of logic. It should be realized that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. One may imagine what hellish atrocities the brutal Muslim invaders might have perpetrated on the helpless, defenseless men, women and children that fell into their clutches during the 1,000-year-long Islamic devil-dance with torch and sword in India.
Over the centuries, while the world has advanced a great deal, three recent occurrences reveal that vast sections of the Muslim world still pride themselves in nostalgically lingering in the dingy corridors of dismal, medieval, barbaric and fanatically murderous Islamic ambitions.
In July 1967, the Israeli delegate told the U.N. General Assembly the horrid atrocities the Arab Muslims had perpetrated on the few Jews who fell into Muslim hands before the bragging Arab armies were put to precipitate flight in a mere six-day lightning campaign. At about the same time, their co-religionist in a town in then East Pakistan were busy raping all Hindu women and looting and setting fire to Hindu homes, all because a Muslim girl had fallen in love with a Buddhist boy. And at the same time, Egypt was found to be using poison gas on its adversaries in Yemen.
When the world is treated to such horrid atrocities even in the 20th century, one may well imagine what torture and tyranny, dynasty after Muslim dynasty, which had avowedly stormed into India to burn, singe and pillage Hindusthan and carry Jihad, may have foisted on a country into which they went berserk in illiterate, medieval Islamic rampage.
