Indian victories not told by historians

Victories of Indian Warriors against Islamic Invaders that History Books Ignored
By 

Manoshi Sinha is a writer, poet, certified astrologer, avid traveler, and author of 7 books including 'The Eighth Avatar', and 'Blue Vanquisher' - Krishn Trilogy 1 and 2 that delve on Krishn beyond myth

Islamic invaders ruled only parts of India, not India as our history books tell us. Indian rulers did offer stiff resistance to invaders. They fought until their last breath. There are hundreds of valorous victories by our ancestors from the east to west, north to south from 8th century to 18th century – the period of Islamic invasion, plunder, and rule. But these glorious stories are kept hidden. Rather we are taught more about glories of invaders. Many regions could not be touched by Mughals or other Islamic plunderers given the military strength of the respective rulers.
Marcus Garvey, a Jamaican-born political leader and social activist, has rightly said, “A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.” In the true sense of the term, we are a tree without roots. Because we are denied knowledge of our true history. Robert Heinlein, an American author wrote, “A generation which ignores history has no past and no future.” We are a generation that have ignored history in the true sense.

The fighting spirit in Indian warriors started declining after the concept of non-violence gained momentum. Most Indian kings and their subjects lost interest in warfare. Generation after generation, the courage, fearlessness, and valor which otherwise were the key attributes of warriors and soldiers, started to decline. Few Indian rulers gave little importance in maintaining a robust army or upgradation of military infrastructure. Hence, they were taken unawares when Islamic invaders attacked their kingdoms. They could not offer any stiff resistance. Though Bharat was advanced in every field these rulers could not save their respective kingdoms from being looted and plundered by Islamic invaders. They couldn’t save their men from being butchered and women taken away as sex slaves. They couldn’t they save the hundreds and thousands of heritage temples, ancestral buildings and universities from being destroyed by the Islamic plunderers. The concept of non-violence weakened and destroyed the warrior spirit in many an Indian kingdom, which led to their destruction.

But not all kingdoms followed this concept of non-violence. Those rulers who kept a ready army and upgraded their military infrastructure survived the attacks. They offered a stiff resistance. But all of these sagas of valor and victory are not highlighted in our history books. Let us delve on few of our glories.

Lalitaditya Muktapida was the ruler of Kashmir when Junaid, the Arab governor of Sindh, attacked Kashmir following the orders of Caliph Hisham in the 8th century. The Kashmir king defeated Junaid and thus the Arab attempt of plundering Kashmir failed. Lalitaditya Muktapida also subjugated the Turks by attacking their territories. Raja Samgramaraja of Kashmir in the 11th century repulsed several attacks of Mahmud of Ghazni. Plunderer Mahmud could never defeat the Kashmiri king! Besides, Raja Samgramaraja also helped Trilochanpala, the Hindu Sahi ruler of Kabul, with an army against Mahmud of Ghazni. The combined army defeated Sultan Mahmud.

One of the biggest alliances of Indian rulers was witnessed when the Arabs attacked and ransacked cities up to Ujjain before the mid 8th century.  The battle was fought between the Arab forces led by Emir Junaid and and an alliance of Indian dynasties led by Gurjar Pratihar king Nagbhat I. The Indian alliance comprised of Gurjar Pratihars, Chalukyas, Rashtrakuta, Guhil, etc. A series of battles was fought between Arabs and Hindus. The final battle was fought in 738 AD in the borders of Rajasthan. The Arabs faced a crushing defeat. After this Muslim plunderers did not think of attacking India for several years, in fact, for more than a century!


Do you know Ghori first attacked the Gujarat region? Gujarat was then ruled by the Chalukya Solanki Rajputs. Naiki Devi was then the Queen Regent; the ruler Mularaja II was a minor. Ghori was badly defeated in the battle that took place in 1178. Firishta, a Persian historian from the 16th century mentions how the ruler of Gujarat defeated the Muslim army “with great slaughter”. Mohammad Ghori was so badly defeated in this expedition that he did not think about attacking India until 1191! Never again did he attack Gujarat in his life!

Assam king Prithu defeated Bakhtiyar Khilji (the plunderer who burnt Nalanda University) in 1206 AD. Prithu badly wounded Khilji and made him bedridden. Ahoms stationed a strong force to counter attacks. The Ahoms defeated the Islamic invaders several times. In 1527 A.D., Rukunuddin Rukun Khan, the general of Nasiruddin Nasrat Shah, the Sultan of Bengal invaded Kamrupa only to be defeated by the Ahoms. Viswa Singha was then the Ahom king of Kamrupa.  Hearing about the defeat of Rukun Khan, the Sultan dispatched his general Mit Manik with an army of one thousand horsemen and ten thousand foot soldiers. In this battle, the Ahoms won. Mit Manik was taken prisoner while Rukun Khan fled from the battlefield.  The Ahoms captured a large booty including some fire arms. And who isn’t familiar with Ahom general Lachit Borphukan who defeated the Mughals in the Battle of Saraighat in 1671!

Who doesn’t know about Taimur Lang, one of the most barbaric of Islamic invaders who massacred lakhs of Hindus, razed temples to the ground, and looted wealth of temples and civilians! All of this happened on his way from across the Indus River covering Attock towards Delhi. Do you know Taimur could not succeed in plundering India during his return expedition?  Around 80,000 men from different communities, ranging from Jats, Gurjars, Rajputs, Brahmins to Ahirs, Valmikis, and hill tribes were part of the troop that attacked Taimur and slaughtered a major portion of his army. Meerut, Haridwar and neighboring areas were saved from being looted and plundered by Taimur. It was Devpala, a Jat who held a Mahapanchayat and made this possible. Mahabali Jograj Singh Gurjar was the Supreme General while 20-year old Rampyari Gurjar was the General of 40,000 women warriors. Together, the men and women warriors wreaked havoc on Taimur in Meerut and Haridwar in 1398, forcing him to flee India.

Mughal army sent by Shah Jahan in 1640 to attack Garhwal failed in the expedition. Rani Karnavati badly defeated them. She also cut the noses of the surviving Mughal soldiers due to which she was called Naak Kati Rani. Her cruel and merciless stance frightened the Mughals and they could never win Garhwal.

Likewise, Rani Bhavashankari, Akbar’s contemporary, made it compulsory to recruit a soldier from every family. She was the ruler of Bhurishhrestha of Bengal. She stationed forces at the border and well maintained her army. She defeated the Pathan Sultan thrice. Even Akbar did not interfere in her sovereignty.

Narasimhadeva from Orissa built the Konark temple after his victory against Islamic rulers. He attacked the Bengal Sultanate’s territories before the Sultan could attack him. During battle, he played one tactic played by the Islamic invaders and he won. It was 1248 AD.

Kapaya Nayaka, a Musunri Nayaka, in the South drove the Tughlaqs out of the Warrangal (then Telangana) territory in 1336 and re-established Hindu supremacy. He could do this with the help of 75 subordinate Nayakas; another best example of unity against a common foreign enemy. He also helped other South Indian kingdoms regain back their kingdoms from the Islamic invaders.

Raja Ganesha, a direct descendant of the Deva dynasty of Bengal, recaptured the throne of Bengal from Islamic rulers in 1414. He establish his superiority and Hindu dominion in a region dominated by the Muslims for over 200 years. According to the book Riyaz-us-Salatin, a chronicle written in Persian language by Ghulam Husain Salim Zaidpuri on the complete history of the Muslim rule in Bengal, nobleman Ganesha killed Shihabuddin and seized the throne. In alliance with another Hindu king Sivasimha of Mithila, Ganesha defeated Ibrahim Shah, a neighboring Sultan.

Prataprao Gurjar, the Maratha Senapati and Morapant Pingle, the first Peshwa led the Maratha army of 20,000 soldiers against Mughals numbering 40,000 at Battle of Salher, Nashik 1672. Though the Marathas were less superior to the Mughals in terms of weaponry and war animals yet in this fierce battle, the Marathas emerged victorious! This battle saw the Mughals decimated for the first time in an open battle! But is there any mention of this victorious battle in our history books?

Tarabai Bhosale (daughter-in-law of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj), who ruled the Maratha Empire from 1700 until 1708, herself led her army into the battlefield and successfully fought against Mughal forces. According to Jadunath Sarkar, a prominent Bengali historian, it was because of the administrative genius and strength of Tarabai that the Maratha Empire survived the awful crisis from 1700 to 1707 – when Mughals tried their best to occupy Maratha territories, but in vain. She valorously defended her territories.

Baba Banda Singh Bahadur, General of Guru Gobind Singh’s Khalsa army at the age of 38, led five battles to victory against Mughal and other Islamic forces. This included three battles in 1709 in Sonepat, Samana, and Sadhaura and two battles in 1710 at Chappar Chiri and Rahon. Following victory in Chappar Chiri battle, Banda Singh established his rule in Punjab. By 1710 Banda Singh Bahadur captured almost entire Punjab in the east of Lahore and put an end to Islamic rule in this region.

Rani Chennamma of Keladi fought against Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb’s forces. The battle took place because Chennamma gave shelter to Rajaram Raje Bhonsle, younger son of Chhatrapati Shivaji and facilitated his escape to Jinji Fort. It was the enemy Mughal forces who withdrew in this battle, sensing defeat and begged for a treaty. It was for the first time that the Mughals proposed peace accord with an Indian ruler! She also defeated the Sultan of Bijapur.

Pazhassi Raja, who became the prince regent of the princely state of Kottayam of Malabar at a young age of 21 in 1774 bravely resisted Hyder Ali’s troops using guerrilla warfare techniques. He set up a number of guerrilla bases in the forested mountains of Puralimala and Wayanad, which he and his men were well familiar of. And they started attacking Hyder Ali’s troops in small groups at short intervals. This resulted in casualties in the Mysore army with every attack until Mysore troops reduced to a considerable extent. Hyder Ali entered into alliance with two neighboring chiefs to collectively crush Pazhassi Raja, but in vain. He could never defeat Pazhassi Raja. In later years, he also resisted Tipu Sultan’s troops.

There are countless more examples of victory by Indian warriors against Islamic invaders and rulers, but these are not shown in our history books. Islamic rulers ruled only a part of India not whole but we are made to read they ruled India.

Yes, Islamic invaders and plunderers could also loot and plunder few kingdoms because Bharatiya rulers strictly followed rules of Dharma in warfare. They avoided fighting with an opponent already engaged in a fight with another. They avoided stabbing from behind or hitting below the navel. They took care of the injured at the end of the day. They considered women, prisoners of war, and farmers as sacred. They never pillaged the land or destroyed standing structures in enemy lands. They were merciful if enemies asked for pardon. Battlefield exploits took place only during daytime. This was followed since time immemorial.

History is full of such examples of Dharma followed by Indian Hindu kings. Prithviraj Chauhan pardoned Mohammad Ghori when he asked for pardon though the latter attacked him several times. At one instance Prithviraj saw Ghori fleeing from the battlefield but he did not attack the running enemy. On the final (16th according to few sources) attack, Ghori defeated Prithviraj. Did Ghori pardon Prithviraj? No! He raped the king’s wife Sanyogita in front of him several times and took him prisoner to Ghor where he tortured him to death. Ghori plundered Delhi, slaughtered to death soldiers and civilians, took women as sex slaves, destroyed temples, and the list of atrocities is endless. Had Prithviraj killed Ghori, history would have been different. King Prithu of Assam badly defeated Bhaktiyar Khilji in 1206 AD, but he allowed the Muslim prisoners of war to settle in his kingdom when they sought pardon. That was how Muslim settlement in Assam started. Hindu kings never defied rules of Dharma.

But Islamic invaders and plunderers did the opposite of these very rules of Dharma followed by Hindu kings in warfare. They followed the tactics of treachery, deception and cruelty. They plundered kingdoms, pillaged land, killed the weak and innocent, raped women and took them as slaves, stabbed warriors from behind, destroyed standing structures and temples, and what not! Converting the defeated people to Islam was one of their key strategies. Akbar, deemed ‘the GREAT’ ordered the slaughter of around 40,000 unarmed old men, women and children of Chittorgarh after he captured it on 23 February 1568 as per accounts by Abul Fazl and Badauni, Muslim historians. Rajput women started committing Jauhar only to save themselves from disgrace at the hands of Muslim invaders.

In 1226, Raja Bir Singh of Birsinghpur in Bengal defeated the Turks led by Giasuddin Iwaz Khilji. Facing defeat, the Turks hatched a plan of treachery. To easily subjugate the Hindu army of Raja Bir Singh, Giasuddin Iwaz Khilji used cattle in the battlefield. Each horn of the cows was wrapped with a piece of cloth soaked in flamable liquid. The horns were lit up when the battle was about to begin. The Muslim army followed the cattle that ran berserk towards the Hindu army. As cows were sacred to the Hindus, the Hindu army did not give resistance. Giving a resistance would harm the cows. Using this trick of treachery, Khilji won the second battle.

Afzhal Khan, the ablest of commanders of the Adilshahi army of the Bijapur Sultanate deceived negotiators during meetings. In 1639, he treacherously murdered Kasturi Ranga, the king of Sera, a small South Indian kingdom, during a meeting. Shivaji went to meet Afzhal Khan after equipping himself with weapons hidden from view. Because he knew Afzhal Khan might secretly attack him. In the meeting, Afzhal Khan applied his treacherous tactics and secretly attacked Shivaji during an embrace. Shivaji immediately reciprocated, disemboweling him with the wagh nakh and stabbing him with the bichu. A combat followed. Sambhaji Kavji, Shivaji’s bodyguard killed the heavily injured Afzhal Khan.

A few months before Shivaji’s coronation in 1674, the Sultan of Bijapur Adil Shah sent his general Bahalol Khan with a huge army to attack Maratha territory.  The Marathas under Prataprao Gurjar defeated the Bijapuri forces and took Bahalol Khan captive and seized their war material. Shivaji had warned all of his Senapatis and the Sardars to never trust enemies and never let them go free. When Bahalol Khan repeatedly begged Prataprao for pardon and promised never to attack Maratha territory again, Prataprao Gurjar released Bahalol Khan, his troops including the seized war material. Did Bahalol Khan keep his promise? No! Prataprao Gurjar followed rules of Dharma but the Muslim army did not. Bahalol Khan marched towards Maratha territory with a fresh force of 15000 soldiers. As Khan camped unawares, Prataprao Gurjar could not arrange a big army. He had only 1200 soldiers. Ultimately he attained martyrdom at the hands of Bahalol Khan. Later the Marathas defeated Bahalol Khan in the following battle. These are only few examples of how Muslim rulers and generals deceived Hindu warriors.

Moreover, there were internal conflicts between rulers (lack of unity) and even internal conflicts within a kingdom for the throne. Then there were traitors who sided with the foreigners. All of these resulted in subjugation of many Indian kingdoms at the hands of the plunderers and looters, who were merciless and barbaric. And a similar situation still exists. And there is no dearth of traitors even today!

After Islamic invasion and rule, British, like termites damaged our cultural and educational heritage and infused the inferiority and mental slavery syndrome in Indian brains. They drained away our resources and turned India into a poor nation, economically, culturally, and socially. Lakhs of freedom fighters sacrificed their lives for the freedom we enjoy today yet this freedom is attributed to one namesake leader.

Our education syllabus, especially pertaining to History, has been designed in such a manner that we are bound to suffer from the inferiority complex syndrome. These questions will always arise in our minds – Were we always defeated? Why did our ancestors not offer any resistance? Why were we always so easily looted and plundered? These questions are bound to drift us from our rich cultural roots and ancestry, from our historicity and traditions, from our belongingness to the nation.

It is time we know our true historical roots. Jai Hind!

इतिहास के नाम पर झूठ क्यों, wrong history of India

इतिहास के नाम पर झूठ क्यों
क्या आप जानते हैं कि दिल्लीके लालकिले का रहस्य क्या है और इसे किसने बनवाया था ?
दिल्ली का लाल किला शाहजहाँ से भी कई शताब्दी पहले पृथवीराजचौहान द्वारा बनवाया हुआ लाल कोट
अक्सरहमें यह पढाया जाता है कि दिल्ली का लालकिला शाहजहाँ ने बनवाया था | लेकिनयह एकसफ़ेद झूठ है और दिल्ली का लालकिला शाहजहाँ के जन्म से सैकड़ों साल पहले”महाराज अनंगपाल तोमर द्वितीय” द्वारा दिल्ली को बसाने के क्रम में हीबनाया गया था|
महाराज अनंगपाल तोमर और कोई नहीं बल्कि महाभारत के अभिमन्यु के वंशज तथा महाराजपृथ्वीराज चौहान के नाना जी थे| इतिहासके अनुसार लाल किला का असली नाम “लाल कोट” है, जिसे महाराज अनंगपालद्वितीय द्वारा सन 1060 ईस्वी में दिल्ली शहर कोबसाने के क्रम में ही बनवाया गया था जबकि शाहजहाँ का जन्म ही उसके सैकड़ों वर्षबाद 1592 ईस्वी में हुआ है|
दरअसल शाहजहाँ नमक मुसलमान ने इसे बसाया नहीं बल्कि पूरी तरह से नष्टकरने की असफल कोशिश की थी ताकि, वो उसकेद्वारा बनाया साबित हो सके लेकिन सच सामने आ ही जाता है| इसका सबसे बड़ा प्रमाण तोयही है कि तारीखे फिरोजशाही के पृष्ट संख्या 160 (ग्रन्थ ३) में लेखक लिखता हैकि सन 1296 के अंत में जब अलाउद्दीन खिलजी अपनी सेना लेकरदिल्ली आया तो वो कुश्क-ए-लाल ( लाल प्रासाद/ महल ) कि ओर बढ़ा और वहां उसने आरामकिया| सिर्फइतना ही नहीं अकबरनामा और अग्निपुराण दोनों ही जगह इस बात के वर्णन हैं कि महाराजअनंगपाल ने ही एक भव्य और आलिशान दिल्ली का निर्माण करवाया था|
जिसकोशाहजहाँ ने पूरी तरह से नष्ट करने की असफल कोशिश करी थी ताकि वो उसके द्वारा बनायासाबित हो सके..लेकिन सच सामने आ ही जाता है.
* इसके पूरे साक्ष्य प्रथवीराज रासोसे मिलते है .
* शाहजहाँ से 250 वर्ष पहले1398 मे तैमूर लंग ने पुरानीदिल्ली का उल्लेख करा है (जो की शाहजहाँ द्वारा बसाई बताई जाती है)
* सुअर (वराह) के मुह वालेचार नल अभी भीलाल किले के एक खास महल मे लगे है. क्या ये शाहजहाँ के इस्लाम का प्रतीक चिन्ह हैया हमारे हिंदुत्व के प्रमाण??
* किले के एक द्वार पर बाहर हाथी की मूर्ति अंकित हैराजपूत राजा लोग गजो( हाथियों ) के प्रति अपने प्रेम के लिए विख्यात थे ( इस्लाममूर्ति का विरोध करता है)
* दीवाने खास मे केसर कुंडनाम से कुंड बना है जिसके फर्श पर हिंदुओं मे पूज्य कमल पुष्प अंकित है, केसर कुंड हिंदू शब्दावलीहै जो की हमारे राजाओ द्वारा केसर जल से भरे स्नान कुंड के लिए प्रयुक्त होती रहीहै
* मुस्लिमों के प्रिय गुंबद या मीनार का कोई भी अस्तित्वनही है दीवानेखास और दीवाने आम मे.
* दीवानेखास के ही निकट राज की न्याय तुलाअंकित है , अपनी प्रजा मे से 99 % भाग को नीच समझने वाला मुगलकभी भी न्याय तुला की कल्पना भी नही कर सकता, ब्राह्मानोद्वारा उपदेशित राजपूत राजाओ की न्याय तुला चित्र से प्रेरणा लेकर न्याय करनाहमारे इतिहास मे प्रसीध है .
* दीवाने ख़ास और दीवाने आम की मंडप शैलीपूरी तरह से 984 के अंबर के भीतरी महल(आमेर–पुराना जयपुर) से मिलती है जो की राजपूताना शैली मे बना हुवा है .
* लाल किले से कुछ ही गज की दूरी परबने देवालय जिनमे से एक लाल जैन मंदिर और दूसरा गौरीशंकार मंदिर दोनो ही गैरमुस्लिम है जो की शाहजहाँ से कई शताब्दी पहले राजपूत राजाओं ने बनवाए हुए है.
* लाल किले का मुख्या बाजार चाँदनी चौककेवल हिंदुओं से घिरा हुआ है, समस्तपुरानी दिल्ली मे अधिकतर आबादी हिंदुओं की ही है, सनलिष्ट और घूमाओदार शैली के मकान भी हिंदू शैलीके ही है
..क्याशाजहाँ जैसा धर्मांध व्यक्ति अपने किले के आसपास अरबी, फ़ारसी, तुर्क, अफ़गानी के बजे हमहिंदुओं के लिए मकान बनवा कर हमको अपने पास बसाता ???
* एक भी इस्लामी शिलालेख मेलाल किले का वर्णन नही है
*”” गर फ़िरदौस बरुरुए ज़मीं अस्त, हमीं अस्ता, हमीं अस्ता, हमींअस्ता””–अर्थात इस धरती पे अगर कहीं स्वर्ग है तो यही है, यही है, यही है….
इसअनाम शिलालेख को कभी भी किसी भवन का निर्मांकर्ता नही लिखवा सकता ..और ना ही येकिसी के निर्मांकर्ता होने का सबूत देता है
इसकेअलावा अनेकों ऐसे प्रमाण है जोकी इसके लाल कोट होने का प्रमाण देते है, और ऐसेही हिंदू राजाओ के सारे प्रमाण नष्ट करके हिंदुओं का नाम ही इतिहास से हटा दियागया है, अगरहिंदू नाम आता है तो केवल नष्ट होने वाले शिकार के रूप मे……ताकि हम हमेशा हीअहिंसा और शांति का पाठ पढ़ कर इस झूठे इतिहास से प्रेरणा ले सके…
सही है ना ???..लेकिन कबतक अपने धर्म को ख़तम करने वालो कीपूजा करते रहोगे और खुद के सम्मान को बचाने वाले महान हिंदू शासकों के नाम भुलातेरहोगे..
ऐसे ही….??????? –
1. जो जीता वही चंद्रगुप्त ना होकर…जो जीता वही सिकन्दर “कैसे” हो गया… ???
(जबकि ये बात सभी जानते हैं कि…. सिकंदर की सेना ने चन्द्रगुप्त मौर्य के प्रभाव को देखते
हुये ही लड़ने से मना कर दिया था.. बहुत ही बुरी तरह मनोबल टूट गया था…. जिस कारण , सिकंदर ने मित्रता के तौर पर अपने सेनापति सेल्युकशकि बेटी की शादी चन्द्रगुप्त से की थी)
2. महाराणा प्रताप “”महान””” ना होकर………अकबर “””महान””” कैसे हो गया…???(जबकि, अकबर अपने हरम में हजारों लड़कियों को रखैल के तौर पर रखता था…. यहाँ तक कि उसने अपनी बेटियो और बहनोँ की शादी तक पर प्रतिबँध लगा दिया था जबकि.. महाराणा प्रताप ने अकेले दम पर उस अकबर के लाखों की सेना को घुटनों पर ला दिया था)
3. सवाई जय सिंह को “””महान वास्तुप्रिय”””राजा ना कहकर शाहजहाँ को यह उपाधि किस आधार मिली …… ???जबकि साक्ष्य बताते हैं कि जयपुर के हवा महल से लेकर तेजोमहालय {ताजमहल} तक ….महाराजा जय सिंह ने ही बनवाया था)
4. जो स्थान महान मराठा क्षत्रिय वीर शिवाजी को मिलना चाहिये वो………. क्रूर और आतंकी औरंगजेब को क्यों और कैसे मिल गया ..????
5. स्वामी विवेकानंद और आचार्य चाणक्य की जगह… ….गांधी को महात्मा बोलकर हिंदुस्तान पर क्यों थोप दिया गया…??????
6. तेजोमहालय- ताजमहल……… ..लालकोट- लाल किला……….. फतेहपुर सीकरी का देव महल- बुलन्द दरवाजा…….. एवं सुप्रसिद्ध गणितज्ञ वराह मिहिर की मिहिरावली(महरौली) स्थित वेधशाला- कुतुबमीनार….. ……… क्यों और कैसे हो गया….?????
7. यहाँ तक कि….. राष्ट्रीय गान भी…..संस्कृत के वन्दे मातरम की जगह गुलामी का प्रतीक””जन-गण-मन हो गया”” कैसे और क्यों हो गया….??????
8. और तो और…. हमारे अराध्य भगवान् राम..कृष्ण तो इतिहास से कहाँ और कब गायब हो गये……… पता ही नहीं चला……….आखिर कैसे ????
9. यहाँ तक कि…. हमारे अराध्य भगवान राम की जन्मभूमि पावन अयोध्या …. भी कब और
कैसे विवादित बना दी गयी… हमें पता तक नहीं चला….!
कहने का मतलब ये है कि….. हमारे दुश्मन सिर्फ….बाबर , गजनवी , लंगड़ा तैमूरलंग…..ही नहीं हैं…… बल्कि आज के सफेदपोश सेक्यूलर भी हमारे उतने ही बड़े दुश्मन हैं…. जिन्होंने हम हिन्दुओं के अन्दर हीन भाबना का उदय कर सेकुलरता का बीज उत्पन्न किया ।

Europeans crooked History of India


पश्चिम एसिया और भारत-भारतीय इतिहास में अंग्रेजों द्वारा इतनी भयानक जालसाजी हुयी है कि कोई भी वर्णन पश्चिम या मध्य एसिया के इतिहास से नहीं मिलता है और पूर्व भाग के बारे में बिलकुल ही भूल गये। राजतरंगिणी के अनुसार गोनन्द वंश का ६२वां राजा हिरण्यकुल था जिसने लौकिकाब्द २२५२-२३१२ अर्थात् ८२४-७६४ ई.पू. तक शासन किया। उसका पुत्र वसुकुल (७६४-७०४) तथा मिहिरकुल (७०४-६३४) ई.पू. था। उसके पूर्व इसी गोनन्द वंश का ५१वां शासक हुष्क था जिसके पुत्रों जुष्क और कनिष्क ने १२९४-१२३४ ई.पू. तक शासन किया। कनिष्क को उज्जैन के परमारवंशी राजा विक्रमादित्य (८२ ई.पू. -१९ ई) के पौत्र शालिवाहन (७८-१२८ ई.) के शक से जोड़ कर परमार वंश का नाम उड़ा दिया। यदि यह जालसाजी सही है तो सम्पूर्ण बाइबिल और इसाई इतिहास झूठा हो जायेगा। प्रायः ४ ई.पू. में विक्रमादित्य राज्य के मगध से २ ज्योतिषी गये थे जिन्होंने ईसा को महापुरुष बताया था। उस समय विक्रमादित्य और इजरायल के रोमन राज्य के बीच कोई अन्य राज्य नहीं था। शूली पर बेहोश हो कर उतरने के बाद ईसा मसीह कश्मीर आये जिनका निवास हजरत बल (बहाल = रहना) कहा जाता है। यह शालिवाहन राज्य में हुआ। इसाई मान्यता के अनुसार ईसा के शिष्य थोमस ८२ ई. में मद्रास (चेन्नई) आये थे (शालिवाहन शक के ४ वर्ष बाद)। अतः उस समय भारत आश्रय स्थल था, आक्रमण का शिकार नहीं था।
उससे पूर्व असीरिया का उदय नबोनासर काल में होने पर भारत पर पहला आक्रमण ८२४ ई.पू. में हुआ जिसका प्रतिरोध खारावेल की गज सेना ने मथुरा में किया (खारावेल प्रशस्ति, शासन के ४ वर्ष बाद नन्द शक १६३४ ई.पू. का ८०३ वर्ष, राज्य के ११ वर्ष पर मथुरा में शकों की पराजय)। यह विफल होने पर रानी सेमिरामी (ग्रीक नाम) ने सभी पड़्सी राज्यों की सहायता से ३५ लाख की सेना इकट्ठी की तथा ऊंटों को खोल पहना कर १०,००० नकली हाथी तैयार किये (होमर के ट्राय या भास के स्वप्नवासवदत्ता की तरह)। यह असुरों का सबसे बड़ा आक्रमण था जिसके प्रतिरोध के लिये विष्णु अवतार बुद्ध मगध में अजिन ब्राह्मण के पुत्र रूप में उत्पन्न हुये। सिद्धार्थ बुद्ध (१८८७-१८०७ ई.पू.) ने मगध राजाओं से दोस्ती कर केवल सारनाथ-गया के बीच के लोगों को मोहित किया था, असुरों को नहीं। उसके बाद गौतम बुद्ध (५वी सदी ई.पू.) ने वैदिक मार्ग नष्ट करने के लिये उत्तर प्रदेश में प्रयत्न किये। इन दोनों ने केवल वेद का विरोध किया असुरों का नहीं।
विष्णु बुद्ध ने ७५६ ई.पू. में आबू पर्वत पर ४ राजाओं का संघ राजा शूद्रक की अध्यक्षता में किया। इस समय शूद्रक शक आरम्भ हुआ (यल्ल का ज्योतिष दर्पण)। शूद्रक का नाम इन्द्राणीगुप्त (मृच्छकटिकम्) था, ब्राह्मण होने पर भी ४ राजाओं का प्रधान सेवक (जैसे आज प्रधान मन्त्री अपने को कहते हैं) होने के कारण उनको सम्मान के लिये शूद्र कहा गया। ४ जो भारत रक्षा में अग्रणी होने के कारण अग्निवंशी कहे गये-परमार प्रतिहार, चाहमान और शुक्ल (चालुक्य)। इन सबकी वंश परम्परा ७५६ ई.पू. से आरम्भ होती है पर कर्नल टाड ने उन सभी को हूण वंशी सिद्ध करने के लिये उनका काल ७३० ई.पू कर पुराना सभी अन्धकार युग कर दिया। इसके लिये उसको राणा कुम्भा का ताम्र-पट्ट तोड़ना पड़ा जिसमें उन्होंने अपने को ब्राह्मण बप्पा रावल का वंशज कहा था जो गोरखनाथ के आदेश से राजा बने थे। यही उनके द्वारा गीतगोविन्द व्याख्या की भूमिका में भी है। स्वयं गोरखनाथ को भी लुप्त कर यह शंकराचार्य का काल कर दिया जो अंग्रेजों के अनुसार मुस्लिम आक्रमण होने पर बौद्धों का विरोध कर रहे थे। सबसे बड़े असुर आक्रमण (७५६ ई.पू. सेमिरामी की ३५ लाख सेना + घुड़सवार+नकली हाथी प्रायः ४ लाख) को इसी संघ ने पराजित किया। सभी पाश्चात्य इतिहास इसका वर्णन करते हैं पर भारत में इसके २०० वष बाद से राज्य व्यवस्था कही जाती है। ६१२ ई.पू. में दिल्ली के चाहमान राजा ने असुर (असीरिया) राजधानी निनेवे को पूरी तरह ध्वस्त कर दिया जिसका बाइबिल में ५ स्थानों पर वर्णन है। इस समय चाहमान शक आरम्भ हुआ जिसका प्रयोग वराहमिहिर तथा ब्रह्मगुप्त (बृहत् संहित १३/३) ने किया है। इसके बाद ४५६ ई.पू. में शक आक्रमण हुये जिनका प्रतिरोध मालवा के राजा श्रीहर्ष ने कर मालव गण समाप्त कर दिया (राजतरंगिणी, कथा सरित् सागर, अलबिरुनि आदि)। श्रीहर्ष शासन समाप्त होने पर आन्ध्र वंशी राजाओं के सेनापति घटोत्कच (मेगास्थनीज आदि ग्रीक लेखकों द्वारा इसका अनुवाद नाई किया है) ने उसे समाप्त कर अपने पुत्र चन्द्रगुप्त-१ को राजा बनाया। इस समय सिकन्दर का आक्रमण हुआ था और उसके लेखकों ने आन्ध्र राजाओं की सेना का तथा चन्द्रगुप्त समुद्रगुप्त का वर्णन किया है। उसके बाद सेल्यूकस आक्रमण का समुद्रगुप्त के इलाहाबाद स्तम्भ लेख में वर्णन है। उसके पुत्र चन्द्रगुप्त-२ ने उसे पराजित कर उसकी पुत्री से विवाह किया जिसका विस्तृत वर्णन देवी-चन्द्रगुप्तम् नाटक तथा उसके आधार पर जयशंकर प्रसाद के ध्रुवस्वामिनी नाटक (१९३० ई.) में है। गुप्त काल समाप्त होने पर ८२ ई.पू. में उज्जैन के परमार राजा विक्रमादित्य का साम्राज्य बना जिस काल में ईसा मसीह का जन्म, सीजर की पराजय, बन्दी बनना और इस कारण ब्रूटस द्वारा उसकी हत्या तथा ४६ ई,पू. मे विक्रम वर्ष १० के पौष मास से मिलाने के लिये जूलियन वर्ष ७ दिन बाद आरम्भ हुआ। उनके पौत्र शालिवाहन काल में ईसा तथा उनके शिष्यों ने भारत में शरण लिया। गणना के लिये शालिवाहन शक तथा पर्व के लिये विक्रम सम्वत् आज भी चल रहे हैं। शक सम्वत्सर का अर्थ नहीं समझने वालों द्वारा बनाया गया राष्ट्रीय-शक-सम्वत् न तो राष्ट्रीय है, न शक है, न सम्वत् है। विक्रमादित्य राज्य के बाद कुछ समय विप्लव स्थिति थी जब (१९-३० ई.) में तातार, तुर्क, हूण और चीनी लोगों ने आक्रमण किये जिनका तिब्बत तथा चीन इतिहास में भी उल्लेख है। इस समय गुप्तवंश की एक शाखा ने गुजरात के वलभी में राज्य स्थापित किया, जिसके नष्ट होने पर ३१९ ई. में वलभी भङ्ग शक आरम्भ हुआ (अलबिरुनि)। प्रायः इसी समय अंग्रेजों ने मूल गुप्त राज्य का आरम्भ कर दिया है।
जिस समय हूण शकों का आक्रमण कहा जाता है उस समय उत्तर भारत में हर्षवर्धन तथा अग्निवंशी राजाओं का शासन था। हुएनसांग या फाहियान ने इस काल में किसी शक आक्रमण का नाम नही सुना था जो मध्य एसिया रास्ते से ही आये थे।

QUEEN RUDRAMMA DEVI-SYMBOL OF WOMEN POWER IN ANCIENT INDIA

'Rani Rudramma Devi -- A Great Warrior-Ruler of the Kakatiyas 

Rani Rudhramadevi  was one of the most prominent rulers of the Kakatiya dynasty in the Deccan Plateau, being one of the few ruling queens in Indian history. Queen Rudramma Devi remains as one of India's most important woman and very few female rulers in south India for all time. Rani Rudramma Devi ruled from 1261 or 1262 until 1295 or 1296. 

Ganapathi Deva Maharaju (1199-1261 AD), one of the most key Kakatiya rulers, gave a masculine name to his daughter Rudramma Devi, calling her "Rudra Deva", owing to her impeccable administrative abilities in performing royal duty. She was a revolutionary ruler. She encourgaed foreign visitors and messengers to visit the kingdom. She was a brilliant administrator, noble ruler, and warrior Queen. After her victory over the Yadavas, she took the title Rajagaja kesari (which had also been held by her illustrious father). Visitors such as Marco Polo spoke of her enlightened rule, happy subjects, and palace’s splendor. Though being groomed for military exploits and statecraft, Rudramba is not remembered as a patron of the arts, the unique Kakatiya style of sculpture is nevertheless traced to her reign. 

Ganapatideva had two daughters Rudramadevi and Genapamadevi. Rudramadevi or Rudramba was given in marriage to a prince of the Eastern Chalukyan lineage (of Nidadavolu) called Virabhadra. The second daughter was given in marriage to Beta of the Kota family. 

Succession: On the advice of Sivadevayya (prime minister), Ganapati Deva nominated Rudrama Devi as his successor. When she was only 14 years old, Rani Rudrama Devi succeeded her father. In the first two or three years of her conjoint rule with her father, the kingdom was thrown into confusion and disorder due to Jatavarma Sundara Pandya-I's invasion and the disastrous defeat of the Kakatiyas along with their allies at the battle of Muttukur. Though Ganapati Deva turned the tide of the invasion, he lost his territory and his hold over his feudatories.  He retired from active politics and complete power was vested with Rudrama Devi. Various inscriptions suggested that her independent rule started from 1261 AD. Rudramma Devi ruled till 1289.

Reign: Her ascendancy was resented by some nobles and her cousins only because she was a woman. They later raised a banner of revolt. Rudrama Devi wore a male attire and sat on the throne and with an iron hand ruled the kingdom keeping the enemies at bay. Pandyas and Cholas from the south Indian peninsula were a great threat and she kept them at bay with great vigour. After her accession she had to fight Harihara Deva and Murari Deva, who revolted against her. She had some efficient nobles like Jaganni Deva and Gona Ganna Reddy who helped her in suppressing revolts.

The Kalinga King Narasimha-I, who suffered a defeat previously at the hands of Ganapati Deva, took advantage of the distracted condition in the Kakatiya dominions and marched with his forces into the Godavari delta to recover his lost possessions. In the later part of the reign of Rudrama Devi, the above provinces came back under her control. Her commanders Poti Nayaka and Proli Nayaka fought against Kalinga Vira Bhanudeva-I, son and successor of Narasimha-I, and his accomplices Arjuna Deva, the Matsya chief of Oddadi and others and inflicted a crushing defeat on them. The Kakatiya power was thus re-established in coastal Andhra.

 But the biggest threat came from the West in the form of Seuna Yadavas of Devagiri. Rudrama Devi defeated Mahadeva Raja, the Seuna Yadava ruler of Devagiri (Daulatabad in Aurangabad District at present in Maharashtra) who invaded Warangal (earlier known as Orugallu or Ekasilanagaramu) Fort, the capital of the Kakatiya empire, and chased him away. She crossed Godavari chasing the Yadava ruler right into his territories and forced him to make peace. The Devagiri king had to pay ransom to the queen and made peace. Although such treasures gained after victory belonged to the royal house, she distributed the wealth among her troops.

In the south, the Nellore Kingdom came under the power of the Pandyas and was placed under their vassals. The Kayastha chief Janniga Deva re-occupied the territories of the Nelluru kingdom and freed them thus from the Pandyan sway. He and his brother Tripurari Deva I (1270-72 A.D.) continued to rule the Nelluru kingdom as the vassals of Rudrama Devi. However, with the succession of their younger brother Amba Deva to the throne in 1272 AD, the situation underwent a change.

 Rudramma Devi could not tolerate disloyal Amba Deva. By that time Prataprudra, her grandson, became old enough to share the responsibilities of the administration. He was an extraordinary war planner. He planned a three-prong attack on Amba Deva. The intention was to weaken all his support systems so that he would not have had enough strength. Of the three, the first was led by the Queen Rudramma Devi and her general Mallikarjuna. However, as the recently discovered Chandupatla (Nalgonda district) inscription dated 1283 AD indicated, Amba Deva seemed to have killed Rudramma along with Mallikarjuna Nayaka in a battle that year. However, the army of Rudramma Devi was victorious. Later, Prataparudra II, successor of Rudramma, succeeded in completely suppressing the Kayastha revolt. 

Her rule and patronage: Among Rani Rudramma Devi's accomplishments during her reign was the completion of Warangal Fort, begun by her father, in the Kakatiya capital of Warangal (one stone hill). Parts of the fort are still standing, including examples of distinctive Kakatiya sculpture. She worshipped Goddesses Bhadrakali, Ekaveera and Padmakshi. She captured important forts like Mulikinadu, Renadu, Eruva, Mutthapi Nadu and Satti.

Legacy: Rudrama Devi was one of the most outstanding queens in Indian history from the Kakatiya dynasty and people still cherish her memories. Her gender did not come on her way in discharging the duties of her exalted office. She took an active part in governing the country and strove hard to promote the best interests of the state. In spite of the wars which frequently disturbed the country, her people remained contented and happy under her rule.

Marco Polo, the Venetian traveller who paid a visit to the kingdom probably a little later, spoke highly of her administrative qualities, benign rule and greatness.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The historians, writers and people of Chandupatla village, where an inscription that confirmed the exact death date of great Kakatiya ruler Rani Rudrama Devi was found few years ago, have appealed to the Telangana government to organise the 725th death anniversary of Rani Rudrama Devi on November 27 at this village. Until the inscription was found in 1994 at Chandupatla that confirmed the death date of Rudrama Devi as 1289 AD, November 27, there was no proof available on the death of the first Hindu woman emperor of India. According to historians, only Razia Sultana ruled parts of India from Delhi before Rudrama Devi.

Historian D. Suraya Kumar said that Rudrama Devi had initiated several welfare programmes like digging tanks for bringing many acres under cultivation, which was an inspiration for the Telangana government in restoring all the minor irrigation tanks. Besides an inscription, there are historical statues of Lord Ganesha and a warrior riding on the back of a horse in the village. 

The village tank, Rasamudram, built during the Kakatiya Samudram, also finds a mention in the inscription because the inscription was installed very close to the village tank by a soldier of Rudrama Devi’s army Puvvula Mummadi, who is believed to be a native of Chandupatla.

The inscription also says the Chief of Army of Rudrama Devi, Mallikarjuna Nayakudu, was killed on the same day, but there was no mention of the reason and the place of her death.

HISTORY OF INDIA IS WRONG,NEEDS CORRECTON #HISTORYOFINDIA

 भारत में कथित धर्मनिरपेक्षता के नाम पर
भारत के मान-बिन्दुओ पर चोट करने वाला जो इतिहास
पढ़ाया जाता है, उससे जुड़े कुछ प्रश्न  आपको सोचने
पर मजबूर करेंगें।
1- आर्योँ को गोमांसभक्षी, शराबी व
आक्रमणकारी किस आधार पर लिखा? जबकि वैदिक
ग्रन्थोँ मेँ इसका कोई प्रमाण नहीँ मिलता।
2- आर्योँ की सभ्यता(सिन्धु घाटी) को दविड़
सभ्यता कहकर उसपर आर्योँ के आक्रमण
की कोरी कल्पना क्योँ की गई?
3- भारत पर आक्रमण करने वाला सिकन्दर भारत के
लुटेरा है, उसे महान क्यों बनाया?
4- अनेक इतिहासकार सिकन्दर की हार और पोरस
की जीत के प्रमाण देते हैँ, उन्हेँ क्यों छिपाया जाता है?
5- कलिँग नरेश खारवेल द्वारा बैक्ट्रिया के डेमिट्रियस (जो मगध पर आक्रमण करने आ रहा था) को मथुरा के
बाहर भगाने शौर्यपूर्ण कारनामेँ को की क्यों चर्चा नहीँ होती?
6- पुष्यमित्र शुंग द्वारा बैक्ट्रिया के मिनियान्दर को सिन्धु नदी के पार धकेलने का वर्णन
क्यों नहीँ होता?
7- गुप्तवंश के सम्राटोँ ने जिस वीरता से क्रूर बर्बर हूणोँ से टक्कर ली व उनके राजा मिहिरकुल को बन्दी बनाकर रखा, उसे क्यों नहीँ बताया जाता?
8- बप्पा रावल द्वारा सिन्ध, खुरासान ईरान,अफगानिस्तान मेँ दिग्विजय पाकर खुरासान की राजकुमारी के साथ विवाह करके लौटने का वर्णन करने मेँ हमारी जीभ तुतलाती क्यों है?
9-मुहम्मद बिन कासिम को बगदाद के खलीफा ने अचानक क्योँ मरवा दिया? सिन्ध के राजा दाहिर सेन की पुत्रियोँ सूर्या व परमाल के बलिदान की गाथा को झूठा किसने बनाया?
10- महमूद गजनवी की कश्मीर मेँ हुई करारी हार को छिपाया क्यों जाता है? सोमनाथ मन्दिर की लूट को लेकर जाते समय जो परेशानियाँ खोखर वीरोँ ने उसे दीँ उनका वर्णन क्यों नहीँ किया जाता?
11- मुहम्मद गोरी को गुजरात के राजा भीम द्वितीय ने जिस शौर्य से पीटा था कि गोरी ने सपने मेँ भी गुजरात
की तरफ आँख नहीँ उठाई। ये बात क्यों छिपाई जाती है?
12- अलाउद्दीन खिलजी की कामुख वृत्ति दर्शानेँ वाली रानी पद्मिनी की कथा को काल्पनिक क्यों माना जाता है?
13- अलाउद्दीन खिलजी के उस आदेश को क्यों छिपाया जाता है, जिसके तहत मुसलमानोँ को हिन्दुओँ को अपमानित करने और उनके मुँह मेँ थूकने तक का अधिकार था?
14- जब सारे इतिहासकार मानते हैँ कि अपने समय के सबसे शक्तिशाली योद्धा राणा सांगा ने दिल्ली के शासक इब्राहीम 3 बार हराया था, तब फिर बाबरनामा की ये बात कैसे सत्य मानी गई कि दिल्ली को हराने के लिए राणा ने बाबर को बुलाया था? और ये नहीँ बताया जाता कि जब बाबर राणा से जीत गया था तब भी मेवाड़ पर कब्जा क्यों नहीँ किया?
15- बाबर द्वारा हुमायूँ की बीमारी अपने ऊपर लेकर मरने का झूठा चमत्कार क्यों प्रचारित किया जाता हैँ?
16- बताया जाता है कि हुमायू ने रानी कर्मावती की राखी की लाज रखने के लिए गुजरात के बहादुर शाह पर आक्रमण किया था,जबकि वो दो महीने तक सारंगपुर मेँ अफीम खाकर मौज मस्ती करता रहा और जब चित्तौड़ जल चुका तब अपने
विद्रोहियोँ को शरण देने के अपराधी बहादुरशाह को दण्डित करने चला था।
17- दर-दर की ठोकरे खाते हुए हुमांयु को अमरकोट के राणा वीरसाल ने शरण दी और सिन्ध के दक्षिण-पूर्वीँ भाग को जीतने के लिए हुमायुँ की सहायता भी की। यहीँ अकबर का जन्म हुआ। फिर हुमायुँ राणा से ही झगड़ बैठा।इसकी चर्चा क्यों नहीँ करते?
18- शेरशाह शूरी को बड़ा बहादुर विजेता बताते हैँ पर हिन्दू राजाओँ के साथ किये गये उसके विश्वासघात पर
चुप रहते हैँ?
19- अकबर को महान कहते समय छिपा दिया जाता है कि उसने 13 बरस की आयु मेँ घायल व बन्दी बनाए गये हेमुं
की गर्दन पर तलवार का वार करके गाजी की उपाधि धारण की थी। अपने संरक्षक बैरम खाँ को राज्य प्राप्ति के चार साल बाद
ही निष्काशित कर मरवा दिया व उसकी पत्नी(अपनी सगी बुआ की लड़की)से बलात निकाह कर लिया। उसके दरबारियोँ ने 15 बार उसके खिलाफ विद्रोह किया और उसके राज्य मेँ कभी शातिँ नहीँ रही। अकबर ने दबाव देकर निर्बल शासकोँ को अपनी बेटियाँ सौँपने को मजबूर किया,जिनको उदारतापूर्ण विवाह सम्बन्ध कहा जाता है।जबकि अबुल फजल के अनुसार उसके हरम 5000 औरतेँ थी।और आखिरी बात जब अकबर को अपने उद्देश्य मेँ सफलता ही नहीँ मिली, फिर राणा प्रताप की हार कैसे
हुई?
20- गुरू अर्जुन देव के हत्यारे जहाँगीर को न्याय की जंजीर वाला बादशाह की उपाधि कैसे मिल गई?
21- जो अपने बेटोँ का निर्माण नहीँ कर सका, उस शाहजहाँ को ताजमहल व लालकिले आदि का निर्माता बताकर इंजीनियर बादशाह कैसे बनाया?
22- कुतुबमीनार, लाल किले, मकबरे आदि का सत्य इतिहास आज पुष्ट प्रमाणोँ के आधार पर प्राप्त है पर इसे स्वीकार नहीँ किया जाता क्योँकि इससे धर्मनिरपेक्षता पे आँच आती है।
23- अन्याय व अत्याचार का विरोध करने के लिए सिकन्दरा मेँ अकबर के मकबरे से कब्र खोदकर आग लगाने वाले जाट वीरोँ को तो लुटेरा पर हिन्दुओँ पर जीवन भर जुल्म ढाने वाले औरंगजेब को 'जिन्दापीर' कहते हैँ?
24- ईँट का जवाब पत्थर से देने वाले वीर बन्दा वैरागी व शिवाजी के कार्योँ का वर्णन साम्प्रदायिकता कैसे हो गया? जबकि टीपू सुल्तान जैसा हत्यारा देशभक्त कहाता है।
25- धर्म के बदले सिर देने वाले गुरू तेगबहादुर, वीर हकीकत राय, जोरावर सिँह व फतेह सिँह का नाम लेने मेँ शर्म आती है, और इनके हत्यारोँ गुणगान होता है।

DISTORTED INDIAN HISTORY BY BRITISHERS FOLLOWED BY BROWN BRITISHERS IN INDIA/BHARAT

The history writing by the British was a deliberate and systematic effort. The British used history of India as a tool for demoralizing the natives. History of India was twisted, falsified and misinterpreted on a grand scale. In a letter dated December 16, 1868 the famous Indologist Max Muller wrote to the Duke of Argyll, the then Secretary of State of India,
‘India has been conquered once, but India must be conquered again and that second conquest should be a conquest by education’. (Ref: ‘The Life and Letter of F. Max Muller, edited by Mrs. Max Muller, 1902, Vol.1, p.357). Prof. Max
Muller was not just a philosopher, he was also an examiner for the Indian Civil Service (ICS) examination. Teaching of falsified history played a great part in this ‘second conquest’.* Who were these British history writers ?
They were mainly army officers and administrators of the East India Company. For example: Major General John Malcolm – A Memoir of the Central India (1824) Captain Grant Duff – History of the Marathas (1826)
Gen. Briggs – History of the Rise of Mohammedan Power in India (1829) Lt.Colonel James Todd – Anals and Antiquities of Rajasthan(1829-32) M. Elphinstone (Resident at Peshwa Court, later Governor of Bombay), History of India (1841)
Joseph Cunningham (brother of Gen.A.Cunningham) History of Sikhs (1849) Lt. R.F.Burton – History of Sindh (1851)

Thus this is akin to victors writing the history of the vanquished. How many American Western movies depict the generosity and the bravery of the native Americans? Do you know of a single British movie depicting the courage, intelligence and skill of the German and Japanese soldiers? Hence we can imagine what kind of ‘history’ these British officers and administrators must have written or the slant there in. But these very books became standard textbooks in India and were prescribed for teaching the later day examinees of the Indian Civil service and the Indian army.

British Version of Indian History :

Until the invasion of India by Alexander, there was nothing worth mentioning in India. After Alexander, the Greeks taught civilization to Indians, and gave them the Western ideas. Then came the Shakas, Huns, Kushans etc. They also kept teaching the natives. In the eighth century Mohammed bin Kasim invaded India. It marked the begining of the Muslim rule. Then came the Ghazanvis, Ghoris, Gulams, Turks, Afgans, Khiljis, Tughalaqs, Lodis and Mughals. They were very brave and noble. They carried out reforms after reforms. Lastly came the English. They could not tolerate the prevailing anarchy. ‘We rule India’ they said. Some kings accepted their protection. Those who resisted, collapsed like a deck of cards. The British taught peace and prosperity to this troubled land. Under them everyone is happy. They introduced rule of law which Indians never knew before. Thus the history of hindus (according to the British) is as dark as coal tar. There is nothing in it to be proud of. It is natural that only foreigners should rule India. The best the natives can do is to serve the British by becoming their obedient servants. Why could Indians not counter them with our own version of history ? 

Neglect of History in India :

It must be admitted in all fairness, that it was the British who first wrote the history of India. The Hindus probably are the only race, who despite having such intelligence, bravery and tremendous capacity for successive revivals, have showed such pathetic neglect of history. There was utter lack of historical sense. Lokamanya Tilak writes “Even if we read the whole of Harsha-Charita by Banabhatta, we cannot make out when did this famous king rule or what was the extent of his kingdom ? Had it not been for the Chinese traveller Hsuen Tsang (and the English scholars who translated his memoirs from Chinese into English) we would have never known the history of Harsha “. Records were not properly kept and where they were kept they were not preserved. Even today very important documents are getting rotten and destroyed by insects, in many families, but the owners will not give them to historical societies. History as a subject did not always have a place in education. For example, Maharaja of Jaipur, JaiSingh I never learned about the history of Bappa raval, Prithvi raj Chuhan, Mahmud of Ghazni, Mohammed Ghori and others. During the upbringing of Peshwa Bajirao I, he learnt nothing about the East India Comapny and its resistance to Shivaji at Surat, the history of the Mughals or the history of Maratha-Mughal struggle. Far reaching consequences of such neglect were never realized. A true historian should have the ability to doubt the validity of currently held beliefs in light of new evidence. reject the traditional line of thinking when it becomes evident that it was based on wrong assumptions or weak, flimsy foundations. Analyze the evidence critically and establish the facts based on common sense, reason and logic. All this was cleverly disallowed by the British. Historical research was reduced the drab work of compiling data and translation of documents. The faculty of interpretation was strongly discouraged. It is therefore essential that Indian history be rewritten. 

Rewriting Does Not Mean Fabrication : 

It must be emphasized that rewriting of Indian history does not mean fabrication, as was done by the Nazis or the Communists. Savarkar wrote in 1937 : “ To praise one’s ancestors out of affection for them may be foolish, but humane. However to tolerate deliberate denunciation of the ancestors without challenging the allegations is disgraceful. Because such falsehoods, if repeated often will make us lose self respect and confidence” . “Only those people avoid mention of their defeats in the past that are not strong enough to avenge the defeats “. “When writing history the writer must write the events as they happened. He should not concern himself about the effect of that writing on present situation. .. It is natural to write about glorious deeds of our forefathers, but we are reluctant to describe disgraceful event or disasters, defeats. A historian must avoid such hiding of facts. Whatever happened in the past it should be described as it happened… “

Appeasement of Muslims Leads to Falsification of History by GOI : In December 1937, Savarkar said ” Following
appeasement of Muslims, the government is now trying to pervert history. It is well known that in 1318, Harpaldev of Devagiri was skinned alive by Kutb-uddin Khilji of Delhi. This fact is hidden and the history books tell us that he was
simply arrested. Sambhaji, the brave Maratha king was also tortured to death by Aurungzeb. But history books say that he too was simply arrested. How shameless can they be! “ In the same year Savarkar wrote “ Look at the present attempt by Gandhi and his followers to suppress the atrocities of Muslim rulers and even glorify them (for e.g. Siraj-uddaula and Tipu) .. But has this perversion stopped the riots and the arrogance of Muslims? No.. It is nonsense to say that if we describe the battles or conflicts of the past, the present generation will fight battles again! “ The practice of perverting history continues. Here are some examples: In the medieval times the main source of government income was the land
revenue. Under Hindu rulers its used to be 16 %. Under Akbar it became 33 %. It stayed same under Jehangir. Under the
Golden rule of Shah Jahan it was raised to 50 % and it stayed the same during Aurungzeb who added Jizya tax on
Hindus. Under Allauddin Khilji the land revenue also was 50 %. This information is kept out of history books. We are taught that in 1303 CE Allauddin Khilji defeated Rajputs and captured Chitod Fort. But we are never told that Hamer Singh, a Rajput prince defeated and recaptured the fort 10 years later. It is well known that Prophet Mohammed fled from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE. Muslims all over the world accept the fact. But in 1982 under pressure from Muslims Maharashtra government ordered that word ‘fled’ must be deleted. So now it reads that Prophet Mohammed went from mecca to Medina in 622 CE. Even Nehru would have been amazed by this because in his book ‘Some Glimpses of World History’ he does say that Prophet Mohammed fled from mecca to Medina. In 1982 the Central Ministry of Education issued guidelines for writing and teaching of Indian history which among other things forbid describing the medieval period as a period of conflict between Hindus and Muslims. In short, Shivaji’s virtues should not be glorified and Aurungzeb’s bigotry and despotic nature must not be described! In 1982 Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) in their publication ‘Taj Museum’ admitted that on the site of Taj Mahal stood the mansion (manzil) of Raja Man Singh which was at the time of in possession of his grand son Raja Jai Singh. So what happened to the mansion ? The answer is simple. It is the same as Taj mahal. But that much ASI official would not concede. In 1984 Prof.Marvin Mills wrote Director General
of Archaeological Survey of India that the Taj dispute be settled by scientific tests on brick samples taken on 20 locations. The Director General replied “The Taj is well dated on documentary evidence .” BARC, Bombay and PRL, Ahmedabad are also seized of the problem. (this was a lie. Both the labs did not receive any samples for testing) and IT IS NOT
CONSIDERED DESIRABLE TO HAVE ANY FURTHER INVESTIGATION AT THIS STAGE.
Such has been Government of India. What about the historians?
