Mohammed bin Qasem, Mohammed Ghazni and Mohammed Ghori form the trinity Muslim Mohammeds, who spread terror and horror in India and other countries, which had the misfortune of attracting their depredations. Nothing was too mean or too beastly for them. They should have been ashamed even to sport the name of Prophet Mohammed, said to be the apostle of peace (Islam).
While humanity as a whole has been shamed by the brutal acts of tyranny and torture, pillage and persecution of this rare species of homo-sapiens, it is a pity that far from being apologetic or disowning such monsters, many Muslims in India gloat over their shameful exploits. They go still further in glorifying the acts of terror and horror committed by those three and their tribe which ruled India until 1858. Such moral support of tyranny and violence, rape and rapine, can never bring about friendship and understanding between the Hindus and Muslims. They can unite only if Muslims of today express shame and horror and make a psychological breakaway from that gory past instead of flaunting the invaders' names as Ghazis. It is a matter of common experience that a person who seeks better relations makes a clean breast of his past. But far from that, Indian historical text books have successfully suppressed the misdeeds of the Muslim rulers of India and given their atrocious regimes a gloss of false glory, spurious luster, fake glamour and deceptive splendor.
In the name and cause of Hindu-Muslim unity let histories tell people - both Hindus and Muslims - exactly what happened, how it happened. Let not people be lulled into the belief that Muslim regimes perpetrated murders and massacres all out of deep fraternal feelings for the Hindus. Such prevarication's make nonsense of history by adulterating it with communalism and politics. What is being taught today at schools under the guise of Indian history, therefore, is rank communalism loaded in favor of Muslims. While Moghul courts reeked of sodomy, prostitution, eunuchs, harems, stupefying drugs, drunken orgies and unending murderous designs, they are atrociously and shamelessly described in Indian text books as shedding a pleasant glow of regal glory, piety and justice. While the 1,000-year-long Muslim rule in India was nothing but unashamed and barbarous plunder of the Hindus and a series of massacres, murders, desecrations of Hindu shrines, raping of Hindu women, kidnapping of Hindu children and selling away of thousands of Hindus as slaves, those regimes have shamelessly been described as models of administration.
