THE BIGGEST HOLOCAUST IN WORLD HISTORY

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 unrecognised by the World.

The only similar genocide in the recent past was that of the Jewish people at the hands of the Nazis; of the Africans during the slave trade and also the almost total extermination of native populations like the Aboriginal people in Australia and the native Indians, Aztecs, Incas, etc. in North and South America.

The holocaust of the Hindus in India was of even greater proportions, the only difference was that it continued for 800 years, till the brutal regimes were effectively overpowered in a life and death struggle by the Sikhs in the 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, mass rapes of Hindu women and the destruction of thousands of ancient Hindu / Buddhist temples and libraries have been well d ocumented and provide solid proof of the World's biggest holocaust.

Muhammad bin Qasim Al-Thaqafi  (c. 31 December 695–18 July 715) was an Umayyad general who conquered the Sindh and Punjab regions along the Indus River(now a part of Pakistan) for the Umayyad Caliphate He was born and raised in the city of Taif (in modern day Saudi Arabia). Qasim's conquest of Sindh and Punjab enabled further Islamic expansion into the Indian subcontinent.

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."
   Fernand Braudel wrote in A History of Civilisations (1995), that Islamic rule in India as a

 "colonial experiment" was "extremely violent", and "the Muslims could not rule the country except by systematic terror. Cruelty was the norm – burnings, summary executions, crucifixions or impalements, inventive tortures. Hindu temples were destroyed to make way for mosques. On occasion there were forced conversions. If ever there were an uprising, it was instantly and savagely repressed: houses were burned, the countryside was laid waste, men were slaughtered and women were taken as slaves."
  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 discoloured, 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 Meerat, 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 twentv 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 honour) 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 ofKrishna.

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."
 Why we should remember
"Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) is the international day of remembrance for the victims of the Holocaust and of other genocides" (Holocaust Memorial Day Trust)

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 peoples, the genocide of the Armenian peoples in the Ottoman Empire, and the millions of African lives lost during the Atlantic slave trade.

The World  seems to either ignore or just does not seem to care about the many millions of lives lost during the 800 - year long holocaust of Hindus 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 Maratha , and also Maha rana prathap –the – 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 the Taliban ,Al-Qaeeda , Indian Mujahadheen and Jaish-e-mohammed - whose ideology is chillingly similar to that of the perpetrators of the World’s biggest holocaust in India. Also ironically – these terrorist groups are growing and launching attacks in exactly those areas that suffered extensively during India’s holocaust. Let us hope that the bloody lessons of the past are learnt so that history does not even have the remotest chance of repeating itself.

Europe never forgot or forgave the attrocities of nazi ruler Hitler. Noone talks about Hitler as a great warrior or inspiring leader of German people. Europe and America produced more than a hundred films higlighting the human misery caused by Hitler and his Army. The films expose horrors of nazi regime and reinforces the beliefs and attitudes of present day generation towards the evil of nazi dictatorship.

In contrast look at India, there is hardly any awareness among the indians of today of what happened to their ancestors in past. It is not difficult for the historians to gather the information ,but they are reluctant to touch this sensitive subject, thinking that this may hurt Muslims.  The films which produced in India shows thesecruel rulers as great heroes of noble virtues oozing with kindness and love for humanity (see, Mughal-e-asam, Anarkali, Tajmahal,Jodha Akbar etc).

In what context we talk about Hitler and Nazis in India. The disturbing answer is that anyone who speaks this truth or speaks for Hindus is a Hitler and any group or organisations working for Hindus are called as Nazis. What an irony……

WHY BABRI MASJID WAS DEMOLISHED

BABUR

Zahir-ud-din Muhammad Babur (14 February 1483 – 26 December 1530; was a conqueror from Central Asia who, following a series of setbacks, finally succeeded in laying the basis for the Mughal dynasty in the Indian Subcontinent and became the first Mughal emperor.  In the First battle of panipat in 1526 he defeated Ibrahim Lodi, and laid the foundation of  Mughal Empire.

He was intolerant towards Hindus..  His Atrocious include killing of Hindus, forced conversions, rapes of women, demolishing Hindu temples and erecting Mosques there.  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!"

He also 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)."

Babur established his authority over the whole of northern India when he conquered the Rajputana kingdom of Mewar and the Hindu King of Chittodgad, Rana Sangrama Singh, at the Battle of Khanwa. After this victory, his general, Mir Baqshi became governor of the region around Awadh.

Mir Baqshi built the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya naming it after Emperor Babur, after destroying a pre-existing temple of Rama at the site . Although there is no reference to the new mosque in Babur's diary, the Baburnama, the pages of the relevant period are missing in the diary. The contemporary Tarikh-i-Babari records that Babur's troops "demolished many Hindu temples at Chanderi^.

As it was clear that Babur was intolerant towards Hindus and Hindu temples, one shouldn’t have to doubt and ask for evidence that he actually demolished it or not. We can see a hundreds of examples in India which clearly shows how Muslim rulers treated Hindu temples and converted it to mosques.   Now the debates are going on as weather there was a Temple before.  Even though the Archaeological society of India stated that there was a Hindu Temple before the Masjid; after their latest excavations , some are still not ready to accept..  But for me , there is no need to rely on ASI. If the place is Ayodhya, its  Bhagvan Rams Birth place and there should not be any thing other than his Temple





DEMOLITION OF BABRI:
On December 6^th 1992, about 1, 50000 karsewaks gathered around the disputed building and Demolished it with the blessings of BJP and VHP leaders.



SIGNIFICANCE OF AYODHYA.

Ayodhya is located on the right bank of the river Sarayu, 6 km from Faizabad,Uttar pradesh. This town is closely associated with Rama, Seventh incarnation of GOD Vishnu. According to the Ramayana, the city is 9,000 years old, and was founded by Manu, the first man in the Vedas, and law-giver of the Hindus. Other sources hold that it was founded by its namesake, King Ayudh. For centuries, it was the capital for the Surya dynasty, of which Lord Rama was the most celebrated king

Skanda and other puranas list Ayodhya as one of the seven most sacred cities of India, as it has been the backdrop for much of Hindu scripture.
 In the Atharvaveda, Ayodhya was described as 'made by Gods and prosperous as Heaven itself'.
 Valmiki began writing the Ramayana in Ayodhya. Its opening chapters recount the magnificence of the city, the glories of its monarch and the virtues, wealth and loyalty of its people. Kamban or Tulsidas retold a common version of the Ramayana called the Ramacharitamanasa in which he also praised the city.


WHY HINDUS  DEMOLISHED BABRI MASJID
So in short Ayodhya is a Sacred place for Hindus..    They respect it, its holiness.  Ayodhya is as much as important for Hindus like Bethlehem for Christians, Mecca for Muslims. 

What Muslims would have done, if they found a Hindu Temple in Mecca?   What they will do, if some powerful Western country attack and build a church by demolishing the present mosque in Mecca…    Definitely, the whole Muslim community will wait for an appropriate time after gaining strength to wipe away the church/Temple and bring back their mosque.  Because their faith teaches them that this place is holy. 

 I just take the example of Mecca because it is the holiest place for Muslims all over world…    We all know that Muslims never allow such a monument of others religions in their territory.  Hundreds of Hindu temples have been demolished in Pakistan and Afghanistan( due to hatred and in name of construction of shopping buildings); both were the part of Indian Territory once.   When the Babri masjid demolished in India, Hundreds of temples in both these countries where destroyed.  Why everybody cares only about Babri, what about those Temples destroyed

The Muslims should have think about this..  There are hundreds of temples demolished and mosques erected on their ruins early from 8th century in Indian soil by the foreign Muslim invaders.  But Hindus didn’t demand the destruction of those structures.  They didn’t act like the same manner what happening in neighbouring countries.  Hindus just asked to allow the construction of temple in the birthplace of God SriRam..   The interesting fact is that the Babari Masjid was not a Masjid with daily worshipping or prayers. It was just a structure build to show the might of Islam over Hinduism after defeating the Hindu kingdom.
  
This structure did not have any minarets (essential for Azan – call for prayer) nor a water-pool for Wazu (ablution) which are mandatory requirements for a mosque. This shows that this building was not a holy mosque, but a monument to celebrate ‘the enslavement of Hindusthan by Islam.

So why shouldn’t have the babri demolished..  It was a symbol of slavery and it was necessary to go off.


The demolition of Babri masjid was a necessary work to bring back the might of Hindus,  moreover it was their affection, love, pious towards God Sri Ram.   Thousands of people gave their life while stopping Baburs force from destructing the Ram Temple and erecting Babri.  The Muslims now crying for Babri masjid are forgetting some important Things.  They have to remember that their forefathers were Hindus and these Muslim rulers who invaded India  forcibly converted them. They have to remember how much pain they have took from the hands of these cruel kings.  Now the Muslims wanted to protect the Babri but their forefathers who were Hindus wanted to protect Ram Temple.

Finally every Hindu/Indian can smile , because they succeeded in demolishing a structure built by a foreign invader after killing thousands of Indians.  I congratulate all behind this movement .  Now the immediate step is to build a Ram Temple in Ayodhya  and a Masjid in a nearby place for Muslims if they wish, but outside of Ayodhya.
