हिन्दू मुस्लिम एकता

हमने इतिहास में लिखे हिन्दू मुस्लिम एकता के प्रतीकों पर एक दृष्टि डाली. सदैव कहा जाता रहा कि सदियों से हिन्दू मुसलमान इस देश भारत में साथ साथ रहते आये हैं, हमारी संस्कृति गंगा जमुनी है, हमारा प्यार मुहब्बत का रिश्ता है, इंसानियत का रिश्ता है….
मिसाल के तौर पर इस्लाम के सूफी ख्वाजा मोईनुद्दीन चिश्ती हर हिन्दू मुसलमान के दिल में बसे हैं. उनकी कब्र पर जहां मुसलमान सर झुकाते हैं तो भाईचारे की भावना से विवश हिन्दू भी सर झुकाते हैं.
फिर, अजीमोशान शहंशाह अकबर जो हर दिल अजीज हैं, जिन्होंने भारत के राजाओं और प्रजाओं को काट काटकर एक छत्र में खड़ा कर दिया. जिन्होंने धर्म के बन्धनों को तोड़कर छत्तीसों हिन्दू राजपूत कन्याओं को अपने हरम में डालकर अपने सबसे करीब आने का सुनहरा अवसर दिया. क्या इससे बढ़कर हिन्दू मुस्लिम एकता का प्रतीक कुछ हो सकता है? ये और बात है कि कभी इन शौक़ीन सुल्तानों ने अपने हरम से उत्पन्न हुई किसी स्त्री को किसी हिन्दू को नहीं ब्याहने दिया.
फिर, टीपू सुलतान ने अपनी मातृभूमि भारत के लिए अंग्रेजों से लड़ाई की और शहीद हो गए.
अतः मोईनुद्दीन चिश्ती, अकबर, और टीपू सुलतान जैसे व्यक्ति ही वास्तव में हिन्दू मुस्लिम एकता के प्रतीक हैं, ऐसा हमारे इतिहास को पढने से प्रतीत होता है.
यह बात अलग है कि कुछ सिरफिरे ऐसे एकता के प्रतीकों पर यह कह कर प्रश्न खडा कर देते हैं कि मोईनुद्दीन चिश्ती तो एक गद्दार घुसपैठिया था जिसने मुहम्मद गौरी को भारत के हिन्दू राजा पृथ्वीराज चौहान पर हमला करने के लिए उकसाया था और सहायता दी थी. वे कहते हैं कि अकबर ने जब चित्तौड़ विजय के समय तीस हज़ार निर्दोष लोगों के कत्ले आम के आदेश दिए (और उतनी स्त्रियों को या जल मरने के लिए या अपने सैनिको कि हवस पूर्ती के लिए छोड़ दिया), और उनके सिरों को काटकर उनसे मीनार बनवायीं तो फिर वह एकता का प्रतीक कैसे हुआ? जब टीपू सुलतान ने हजारों हिन्दुओं को जबरन मुसलमान बनाया और हजारों को क़त्ल किया क्योंकि वे मुसलमान न बने तो फिर वह एकता का प्रतीक कैसे? वे कहते हैं कि टीपू भारत के लिए नहीं बल्कि अपनी हुकूमत के लिए अंग्रेजों से लड़ रहा था.
सदियों से साथ साथ रहने की बात पर जब ये सिरफिरे सवाल उठाते हैं कि एक समय इस देश की सीमाएं पश्चिम में ईरान को तो पूर्व में बर्मा को छूती थीं, और उत्तर में कश्मीर भी इसी भारत भूमि का अंश था तो फिर ऐसा कैसे हुआ कि सदियों से साथ साथ रहने वाले भाइयों ने हमारी भारत माता को पांच टुकड़ों (अफगानिस्तान, पाकिस्तान, भारत, कश्मीर, बंगलादेश) में तोड़ डाला जिनमें से चार में आज साथ रहने वाले हिन्दू दीखते ही नहीं, तो इस पर सब इतिहासकार और सेकुलरवादी बिफर पड़ते हैं. हम भी इन सिरफिरों से बिलकुल संतुष्ट नहीं!
अरे! क्या हिन्दू मुस्लिम एकता के लिए कुछ हिन्दू सिर्फ अपने सिर, अपनी स्त्रियाँ, अपना धर्म और अपनी जमीन भी नहीं दे सकते? क्या हिन्दुओं का यह कर्त्तव्य नहीं था कि दुनिया भर में इस्लामी परोपकार और कल्याणकारी भावना से ओतप्रोत घूम रहे मुगलों, अरबों, तुर्कों आदि को कुछ सिर, बहनें, बेटियां  और धर्म अर्पण कर उनके परोपकार का मोल चुकाते? जो मुग़ल आदि सदा अपने मुल्क छोड़कर पराये मुल्क भारत को एक करने के महान उद्देश्य से यहाँ संघर्ष करते रहे, वे इतना तो अधिकार रखते ही थे कि उन्हें पारितोषिक के रूप में धन, स्त्रियाँ, राज्य, धर्म और इन सबसे बढ़कर “एकता का प्रतीक” सम्मान मिले. अरे लानत है ऐसे स्वाभिमानी हिन्दुओं पर जो सांप्रदायिक सद्भाव के लिए इतना भी नहीं कर सकते! इस देश के अधिकाँश इतिहासकारों के लिए यह हर्ष का विषय होना चाहिए कि ऐसा ही हुआ |भले ही कुछ सिरफिरे आज इसका विरोध करते रहें जैसा कि महान मुगलों के समय क्षुद्र महाराणा प्रताप और शिवाजी ने किया था और यहाँ अग्निवीर कर रहा है. पर कौन पूछता है इनको? दिल्ली में ही अकबर, बाबर, हुमायूं, औरंगजेब, लोदी, आदि के नाम पर सड़कों और स्थानों के नाम रखे गए हैं ताकि एकता के धरोहर इन नामों का सम्मान हो सके!
खैर छोड़ें इन व्यर्थ बातों को.
आज हम जिस विषय पर लिखने जा रहे हैं, वह सेकुलरवादियों और एकपक्षीय एकता चाहने वालों को शायद अच्छा न लगे. आज से अट्ठारह वर्ष पहले ६ दिसंबर सन १९९२ को इस देश के एक और “एकता के प्रतीक” मुगलों में से एक बाबर के नाम पर बनाया गया एक ढांचा तोड़ डाला गया. इसका इतिहास कुछ ऐसा है कि अयोध्या में बहुत पुराना राम मंदिर हुआ करता था जिस के बारे में करोड़ों हिन्दुओं का यह विश्वास है कि श्रीराम उसी स्थान पर जन्मे थे. इसे कुफ्र की निशानी मानकर बाबर के जिहादियों ने बलपूर्वक तोड़ डाला क्योंकि मूर्तिपूजा इस्लाम में वर्जित है और इसलिए वहां बाबर के नाम की मस्जिद बना दी. राम मंदिर को बलपूर्वक तोड़े जाने की घटना पर एक शब्द भी न निकालने वाले सेकुलरिस्टों और जिहादियों को जैसे ही बाबरी ढांचा टूटने की खबर मिली, उनके हृदयों पर जैसे आकाश टूट पडा, जैसे बिजली सी गिरी या वज्रपात हो गया.
ठीक ही था, राम ठहरा इस देश के निवासियों का पूर्वज और बाबर ठहरा पराये मुल्क से यहाँ आकर परोपकार के निमित्त धन, स्त्रियाँ, राज्य आदि की व्यवस्था करने वाला जिसका एकमात्र उद्देश्य इस भारत को एकछत्र के नीचे लाकर विश्व का कल्याण करना था! एक राम था जिसने पराया देश लंका विजय करने पर भी राज्य वहीँ के स्थानीय लोगों को दे दिया, उनकी स्त्रियों को माता कहकर उनकी ओर देखा भी नहीं और एक ओर बाबर था जिसने राज्य जीतकर यहाँ के स्थानीय लोगों की सेवा करना ज्यादा उचित समझा और स्त्रियाँ जीतकर इन्हें अपना ही कर्त्तव्य समझ कर अपने हरम की ओर रवाना कर दिया! इस तरह के “एकता के प्रतीक” बाबर के जीवन के कुछ और प्रेरक (?) प्रसंगों को पढने की इच्छा से हमने स्वयं बाबर का लिखा हुआ “बाबरनामा” पढ़ा जिसमें उसने अपने जीवन की घटनाएं अपनी लेखनी से ही लिखी हैं ताकि आने वाली पीढी भी उनसे कुछ सीख ले सके. आप भी बाबरनामा को यहाँ पढ़ सकते हैं http://www.archive.org/details/baburnama017152mbp
हमारा यह दृढ विश्वास था कि बाबर एक पक्का मुसलमान था और इस्लामी रिवाज के अनुसार अपने देश से अधिक दूसरे देशों के लोगों, धर्म, राज्य और स्त्रियों का अधिक ध्यान उसे सताता था. पर अचानक हमने कुछ ऐसा पढ़ा कि जिससे इस महात्मा मोमिन बाबर के चरित्र के कुछ और रंग सामने आये! और तब हमें लगा कि हिन्दू मुस्लिम एकता के प्रतीकों में से सबसे अधिक यदि कोई मूल्यवान है तो वह है बाबरी ढाँचे का विध्ध्वंस. चौंकिए नहीं! खुद बाबर के लिखे बाबरनामा से यह पता चलता है कि राम मंदिर तोड़कर उसके नाम पर बनाया गया ढांचा असल में मस्जिद ही नहीं था! ऐसा इसलिए क्योंकि बाबर खुद मुसलमान ही नहीं था! क्योंकि-

बाबर एक समलैंगिक (homosexual), नशेड़ी, शराबी, और बाल उत्पीड़क (child molester) था

बाबरनामा के विभिन्न पृष्ठों से लिए गए निम्नलिखित अंश पढ़िए
१. पृष्ठ १२०-१२१ पर बाबर लिखता है कि वह अपनी पत्नी में अधिक रूचि नहीं लेता था बल्कि वह तो बाबरी नाम के एक लड़के का दीवाना था. वह लिखता है कि उसने कभी किसी को इतना प्यार नहीं किया कि जितना दीवानापन उसे उस लड़के के लिए था. यहाँ तक कि वह उस लड़के पर शायरी भी करता था. उदाहरण के लिए- “मुझ सा दर्दीला, जुनूनी और बेइज्जत आशिक और कोई नहीं है. और मेरे आशिक जैसा बेदर्द और तड़पाने वाला भी कोई और नहीं है.”

२. बाबर लिखता है कि जब बाबरी उसके ‘करीब’ आता था तो बाबर इतना रोमांचित हो जाता था कि उसके मुंह से शब्द भी नहीं निकलते थे. इश्क के नशे और उत्तेजना में वह बाबरी को उसके प्यार के लिए धन्यवाद देने को भी मुंह नहीं खोल पता था.
३. एक बार बाबर अपने दोस्तों के साथ एक गली से गुजर रहा था तो अचानक उसका सामना बाबरी से हो गया! बाबर इससे इतना उत्तेजित हो गया कि बोलना बंद हो गया, यहाँ तक कि बाबरी के चेहरे पर नजर डालना भी नामुमकिन हो गया. वह लिखता है- “मैं अपने आशिक को देखकर शर्म से डूब जाता हूँ. मेरे दोस्तों की नजर मुझ पर टिकी होती है और मेरी किसी और पर.” स्पष्ट है की ये सब साथी मिलकर क्या गुल खिलाते थे!

४. बाबर लिखता है कि बाबरी के जूनून और चाह में वह बिना कुछ देखे पागलों की तरह नंगे सिर और नागे पाँव इधर उधर घूमता रहता था.
५. वह लिखता है- “मैं उत्तेजना और रोमांच से पागल हो जाता था. मुझे नहीं पता था कि आशिकों को यह सब सहना होता है. ना मैं तुमसे दूर जा सकता हूँ और न उत्तेजना की वजह से तुम्हारे पास ठहर सकता हूँ. ओ मेरे आशिक (पुरुष)! तुमने मुझे बिलकुल पागल बना दिया है”.

इन तथ्यों से पता चलता है कि बाबर और उसके साथी समलैंगिक और बाल उत्पीड़क थे. अब यदि इस्लामी शरियत की बात करें तो समलैंगिकों के लिए मौत की सजा ही मुक़र्रर की जाती है. बहुत से इस्लामी देशों में यह सजा आज भी दी जाती है. बाबर को भी यही सजा मिलनी चाहिए थी. दूसरी बात यह है कि उसके नाम पर बनाए ढाँचे का नाम “बाबरी मस्जिद” था जो कि उसके पुरुष आशिक “बाबरी” के नाम पर था! हम पूछते हैं कि क्या अल्लाह के इबादत के लिए कोई ऐसी जगह क़ुबूल की जा सकती है कि जिसका नाम ही समलैंगिकता के प्रतीक बाबर के पुरुष आशिक “बाबरी” के नाम पर रखा गया हो? इससे भी बढ़कर एक आदमी द्वारा जो कि मुसलमान ही नहीं हो, समलैंगिक और बच्चों से कुकर्म करने वाला हो, उसके नाम पर मस्जिद किसी भी मुसलमान को कैसे क़ुबूल हो सकती है?
यह सिद्ध हो गया है कि बाबरी मस्जिद कोई इबादतघर नहीं लेकिन समलैंगिकता और बाल उत्पीडन का प्रतीक जरूर थी. और इस तरह यह अल्लाह, मुहम्मद, इस्लाम आदि के नाम पर कलंक थी कि जिसको खुद मुसलमानों द्वारा ही नेस्तोनाबूत कर दिया जाना चाहिए था. खैर वे यह नहीं कर सके पर जिसने यह काम किया है उनको बधाई और धन्यवाद तो जरूर देना चाहिए था. यह बहुत शर्म की बात है कि पशुतुल्य और समलैंगिकता के महादोष से ग्रसित आदमी के बनाए ढाँचे को, जो कि भारत की हार का प्रतीक था, यहाँ के इतिहासकारों, मुसलमानों, और सेकुलरवादियों ने किसी अमूल्य  धरोहर की तरह संजो कर रखना चाहा.
यह ऐसी ही बात है कि जैसे मुंबई में छत्रपति शिवाजी टर्मिनल्स स्टेशन पर नपुंसक और कायर आतंकवादी अजमल कसब द्वारा निर्दोष लोगों को मौत के घाट उतारने के उपलक्ष्य में उस स्थान का नाम “कसब भूमि” रखकर उसे भी धरोहर बना दिया जाये!

बाबर नरसंहारक, लुटेरा, बलात्कारी, शराबी और नशेड़ी था

यहाँ पर इस विषय में कुछ ही प्रमाण इस दरिन्दे की लिखी जीवनी बाबरनामा से दिए जा रहे हैं. इसके और अधिक कारनामे जानने के लिए पूरी पुस्तक पढ़ लें.
पृष्ठ २३२- वह लिखता है कि उसकी सेना ने निरपराध अफगानों के सिर काट लिए जो उसके साथ शान्ति की बात करने आ रहे थे. इन कटे हुए सिरों से इसने मीनार बनवाई. ऐसा ही कुछ इसने हंगू में किया जहाँ २०० अफगानियों के सिर काट कर खम्बे बनाए गए.
पृष्ठ ३७०- क्योंकि बाजौड़ में रहने वाले लोग दीन (इस्लाम) को नहीं मानते थे इसलिए वहां ३००० लोगों का क़त्ल कर दिया गया और उनके बीवी बच्चों को गुलाम बना लिया गया.
पृष्ठ ३७१- गुलामों में से कुछों के सिर काटकर काबुल और बल्ख भेजे गए ताकि फतह की सूचना दी जा सके.
पृष्ठ ३७१- कटे हुए सिरों के खम्बे बनाए गए ताकि जीत का जश्न मनाया जा सके.
पृष्ठ ३७१- मुहर्रम की एक रात को जश्न मनाने के लिए शराब की एक महफ़िल जमाई गयी जिसमें हमने पूरी रात पी. (पूरे बाबरनामा में जगह जगह ऐसी शराब की महफ़िलों का वर्णन है. ध्यान रहे कि शराब इस्लाम में हराम है.)
पृष्ठ ३७३- बाबर ने एक बार ऐसा नशा किया कि नमाज पढने भी न जा सका. आगे लिखता है कि यदि ऐसा नशा वह आज करता तो उसे पहले से आधा नशा भी नहीं होता.
पृष्ठ ३७४- बाबर ने अपने हरम की बहुत सी महिलाओं से बहुत से बच्चे उत्पन्न किये. उसकी पहली बेगम ने उससे वादा किया कि वह उसके हर बच्चे को अपनाएगी चाहे वे किसी भी बेगम से हुए हों, ऐसा इसलिए क्योंकि उसके पैदा किये कुछ बच्चे चल बसे थे. यह तो जाहिर ही है कि इसके हरम बनाम मुर्गीखाने में इसकी हवस मिटाने के लिए कुछ हजार औरतें तो होंगी ही जैसे कि इसके पोते स्वनामधन्य अकबर के हरम में पांच हजार औरतें थीं जो इसकी ३६ (छत्तीस) पत्नियों से अलग थीं. यह बात अलग है कि इसका हरम अधिकतर समय सूना ही रहता होगा क्योंकि इसको स्त्रियों से अधिक पुरुष और बच्चे पसंद थे! और बाबरी नाम के बच्चे में तो इसके प्राण ही बसे थे.
पृष्ठ ३८५-३८८- अपने बेटे हुमायूं के पैदा होने पर बाबर बहुत खुश हुआ था, इतना कि इसका जश्न मनाने के लिए अपने दोस्तों के साथ नाव में गया जहां पूरी रात इसने शराब पी और नशीली चीजें खाकर अलग से नशा किया. फिर जब नशा इनके सिरों में चढ़ गया तो आपस में लड़ाई हुई और महफ़िल बिखर गयी. इसी तरह एक और शराब की महफ़िल में इसने बहुत उल्टी की और सुबह तक सब कुछ भूल गया.
पृष्ठ ५२७- एक और महफ़िल एक मीनारों और गुम्बद वाली इमारत में हुई थी जो आगरा में है. (ध्यान रहे यह इमारत ताजमहल ही है जिसे अधिकाँश सेकुलर इतिहासकार शाहजहाँ की बनायी बताते हैं, क्योंकि आगरा में इस प्रकार की कोई और इमारत न पहले थी और न आज है! शाहजहाँ से चार पीढी पहले जिस महल में उसके दादा ने गुलछर्रे उड़ाए थे उसे वह खुद कैसे बनवा सकता है?)
बाबरनामा का लगभग हर एक पन्ना इस दरिन्दे के कातिल होने, लुटेरा होने, और दुराचारी होने का सबूत है. यहाँ यह याद रखना चाहिए कि जिस तरह बाबर यह सब लिखता है, उससे यह पता चलता है कि उसे इन सब बातों का गर्व है, इस बात का पता उन्हें चल जाएगा जो इसके बाबरनामा को पढेंगे. आश्चर्य इस बात का है कि जिन बातों पर इसे गर्व था यदि वे ही इतनी भयानक हैं तो जो आदतें इसकी कमजोरी रही होंगी, जिन्हें इसने लिखा ही नहीं, वे कैसी क़यामत ढहाने वाली होंगी?

सारांश

१. यदि एक आदमी समलैंगिक होकर भी मुसलमान हो सकता है, बच्चों के साथ दुराचार करके भी मुसलमान हो सकता है, चार से ज्यादा शादियाँ करके भी मुसलमान हो सकता है, शराब पीकर नमाज न पढ़कर भी मुसलमान हो सकता है, चरस, गांजा, अफीम खाकर भी मुसलमान हो सकता है, हजारों लोगों के सिर काटकर उनसे मीनार बनाकर भी मुसलमान हो सकता है, लूट और बलात्कार करके भी मुसलमान हो सकता है तो फिर वह कौन है जो मुसलमान नहीं हो सकता? क्या इस्लाम इस सब की इजाजत देता है? यदि नहीं तो आज तक किसी मौलवी मुल्ला ने इस विषय पर एक शब्द भी क्यों नहीं कहा?
२. केवल यही नहीं, जो यह सब करके अपने या अपने पुरुष आशिक के नाम की मस्जिद बनवा दे, ऐसी जगह को मस्जिद कहना हराम नहीं है क्या? क्या किसी बलात्कारी समलैंगिक शराबी व्यभिचारी के पुरुष आशिक के नाम की मस्जिद में अता की गयी नमाज अल्लाह को क़ुबूल होगी? यदि हाँ तो अल्लाह ने इन सबको हराम क्यों बताया? यदि नहीं तो अधिकतर मुसलमान और मौलवी इस जगह को मस्जिद कहकर दंगा फसाद क्यों कर रहे हैं? क्या इसका टूटना इस्लाम पर लगे कलंक को मिटाने जैसा नहीं था? क्या यह काम खुद मुसलमानों को नहीं करना चाहिए था?
३. जब इस दरिन्दे बाबर ने खुद क़ुबूल किया है कि इसने हजारों के सिर कटवाए और कुफ्र को मिटाया तो फिर आजकल के जाकिर नाइक जैसे आतंकी मुल्ला यह क्यों कहते हैं कि इस्लाम तलवार के बल पर भारत में नहीं फैला? जब खुद अकबर (जिसको इतिहासकारों द्वारा हिन्दुओं का रक्षक कहा गया है और जान ए हिन्दुस्तान नाम से पुकारा गया है) जैसा नेकदिल (?) भी हजारों हिन्दुओं के सिरों को काटकर उनके खम्बे बनाने में प्रसिद्ध था तो फिर यह कैसे माना जाए कि इस्लाम तलवार से नहीं फैला? क्या ये लक्षण शान्ति से धर्म फैलाने के हैं? फिर इस्लाम का मतलब ‘शान्ति’ कैसे हुआ?

४. भारत, पाकिस्तान, अफगानिस्तान, बंगलादेश में रहने वाले सब मुसलमानों के पूर्वज हिन्दू ही थे जो हजारों सालों से यहाँ रहते आ रहे थे. जब बाबर जैसे और इससे भी अधिक दरिंदों ने आकर यहाँ मारकाट बलात्कार और तबाही मचाई, सिरों को काटकर मीनारें लहरायीं तो दहशत के इस वातावरण में बहुत से हिन्दुओं ने अपना धर्म बदल लिया और उन्हीं लाचार पूर्वजों की संतानें आज मुसलमान होकर अपने असली धर्म के खिलाफ आग उगल रही हैं. जिन मुसलमानों के बाबरी मस्जिद (?) विध्ध्वंस पर आंसू नहीं थम रहे, जो बार बार यही कसम खा रहे हैं कि बाबरी मस्जिद ही बनेगी, जो बाबर को अपना पूर्वज मान बैठे हैं, ज़रा एक बार खुद से सवाल तो करें- क्या मेरे पूर्वज अरब, तुर्क या मंगोल से आये थे? क्या मेरे पूर्वज इस भारत भूमि की पैदावार नहीं थे? कटे हुए सिरों की मीनारें देखकर भय से धर्म परिवर्तन करने वाले पूर्वजों के वंशज आज कौन हैं, कहाँ हैं, क्या कभी सोचा है? क्या यह विचार कभी मन में नहीं आता कि इतने कत्ले आम और बलात्कार होने पर विवश माता पिताओं के वे लाल आज कहाँ हैं कि जिन्हें अपना धर्म, माता, पिता सब खोने पड़े? क्या भारत, पाकिस्तान, अफगानिस्तान, बंगलादेश में रहने वाले ७०-८० करोड़ मुसलमान सीधे अरबों, तुर्कों के वंशज हैं? कभी यह नहीं सोचा कि इतने मुसलमान तो अरब, तुर्क, ईरान, ईराक में मिला कर भी नहीं हैं जो इस्लाम के फैलाने में कारण बने? क्या तुम्हारे पूर्वज राम को नहीं मानते थे? क्या बलपूर्वक अत्याचार के कारण तुम्हारे पूर्वजों का धर्म बदलने से तुम्हारा पूर्वज राम की बजाय बाबर हो जाएगा? अगर नहीं तो आज अपने असली पूर्वज राम को गाली और अपने पूर्वजों के कातिल और बलात्कारी बाबर का गुणगान क्यों?
५. अयोध्या की तरह काशी, मथुरा और हजारों ऐसी ही जगहें जिन्हें मस्जिद कह कर इस्लाम का मजाक उड़ाया जाता है, जो बाबर की तरह ही इसके पूर्वजों और वंशजों की हवस की निशानियाँ हैं, इनको मुसलमान खुद क्यों मस्जिद मानने से इनकार नहीं करते?
६. यदि बाबरी ढांचा टूटना गलत था तो राम मंदिर टूटना गलत क्यों नहीं था? यदि राम मंदिर की बात पुरानी हो गयी है तो ढांचा टूटने की बात भी तो कोई नयी नहीं! तो फिर उस पर हायतौबा क्यों?
अंत में हम कहेंगे कि जिस तरह भारत में रहने वाले हिन्दू मुसलमानों के पूर्वजों पर अत्याचार और बलात्कार करने वाले वहशी दरिन्दे बाबर के नाम का ढांचा आज नहीं है उसी तरह बाकी सब ढांचे जो तथाकथित इस्लामी राज्य के दौरान मंदिरों को तोड़कर बनवाये गए थे, जो सब हिन्दू मुसलमानों के पूर्वजों के अपमान के प्रतीक हैं, उनको अविलम्ब मिट्टी में मिला दिया जाए और इसकी पहल हमारे खून के भाई मुसलमान ही करें जिनके साथ हमारा हजारों लाखों सालों का रक्त सम्बन्ध है. इस देश में रहने वाले किसी आदमी की, चाहे वह हिन्दू हो या मुसलमान, धमनियों में दरिन्दे जानवर बाबर या अकबर का खून नहीं किन्तु राम, कृष्ण, महाराणा प्रताप और शिवाजी का खून है. और इस एक खून की शपथ लेकर सबको यह प्रण करना है कि अब हमारे पूर्वजों पर लगा कोई कलंक भी देश में नहीं रह पायेगा.
क्या दृश्य होगा कि हिन्दू और मुसलमान एक साथ अपने एक पूर्वजों पर लगे कलंकों को गिराएंगे और उस जगह अपने पूर्वजों की यादगार के साथ साथ उनके असली धर्म वेद की पाठशाला बनायेंगे जहां राम और कृष्ण जैसे धर्मयोद्धा तैयार होंगे कि फिर कोई बाबर आकर इस भूमि के पुत्रों को उनके माता पिता, दोस्तों और धर्म से अलग न कर सके!
और तब तक के लिए, आओ हम सब हिन्दू और मुस्लिम भाई मिलकर हर साल पूरे उत्साह के साथ ६ दिसंबर के पावन पर्व को ‘शौर्य दिवस’ और ‘गौरव दिवस’ के रूप में मनाएं. हाँ, मथुरा और वाराणसी में ऐसे ही वहशी दरिन्दे ‘औरंगजेब’ के बनाये ढांचें – जो इस्लाम के पावन नाम पर बदतर कलंक है –  उनको मिटाने का सौभाग्य हमारे मुस्लिम भाइयों को ही मिले.
६ दिसंबर १९९२ के दिन हिन्दू-मुस्लिम एकता के सबसे बड़े प्रतीक की स्थापना करने वाले सभी भाई-बहनों को हम सब हिन्दू और मुसलमानों का कोटि-कोटि नमन.

हिन्दू धर्म में वैज्ञानिक गलतियाँ

पिछले कुछ समय से इन्टरनेट पर हिंदू धर्म के सम्बन्ध में जेहादी बमबारी जारी है. कभी वेद और पुराणों में मुहम्मद का नाम तो कभी महाभारत और मनुस्मृति में माँस का विधान, ज़ाकिर नाइक और उनके समर्पित मुजाहिदीन इस काम को बखूबी निभा रहे हैं. परन्तु अभी एक आश्चर्यजनक बात सामने आई है. जिन वेदों और पुराणों में ज़ाकिर नाइक को मुहम्मद दीख पड़ा था उन्हीं में अब उन्हें गलतियाँ दिखने लगी हैं! जी हाँ! कुन फयकुन कह कर झटपट दुनिया बनाने वाले, पत्थर में से ऊँटनी निकालने वाले, बिना पिता के मरियम को पुत्र देने वाले, चाँद के दो टुकड़े कर देने वाले, आसमान को अदृश्य खम्बों की छत मानने वाले, आसमान की खाल उतारने वाले, दर्याओं को चीरने वाले, सातवें आसमान पर सिंहासन पर विराजमान अल्लाह के बन्दों अर्थात मुसलमान बंधुओं का अब यह विश्वास है कि धर्म को विज्ञान की कसौटी पर भी खरा होना चाहिए! इस हेतु से कि ऊपर लिखित कुरआन के विज्ञान के सामने वेदों की क्या हैसियत है, “वेदों में वैज्ञानिक गलतियाँ” शीर्षक से बहुत से लेख लिखे जा रहे हैं. वैसे इन लेखों की सत्यता उतनी ही प्रामाणिक है जितने प्रामाणिक कुरआन में “विज्ञान” के दावे! यदि कुन फयकुन कह कर मक्खी की टांग भी बन सके, बिना पुरुष के ही मुस्लिम माताएं बच्चे जना करें, पत्थर में से ऊँटनी तो क्या मच्छर भी निकल पड़े तो यह माना जा सकता है कि वेद विज्ञान विरुद्ध हैं कि जिनमें इतने ऊंचे स्तर की विद्या ही नहीं! परन्तु आज तक कुरआन में वर्णित इस विज्ञान के दीदार (दर्शन) असल जिंदगी में मुस्लिम भाइयों को छोड़ कर किसी को न हो सके.
खैर, अब एक एक करके उन दावों की पोल खोलते हैं जो जेहादी अक्सर वेदों के विरुद्ध किया करते हैं. हम पहले “जेहादी दावा” नाम से वेद मन्त्र के वो अर्थ देंगे जो जेहादी विद्वान करते हैं और फिर उसके नीचे मन्त्र के वास्तविक अर्थ अग्निवीर शीर्षक से देंगे. (जिहादियों द्वारा लिखे मूल लेख की प्रति यहाँ देखें:
Scientific Errors in Hinduism

१. पृथ्वी स्थिर है!

१. जेहादी दावा
वेदों के अनुसार पृथ्वी स्थिर है और ऐसा कई स्थान पर है. कुछ उदाहरण नीचे दिए जाते हैं
हे मनुष्य! जिसने इस कांपती हुई पृथ्वी को स्थिर किया है वह इंद्र है. [ऋग्वेद २/१२/१२]
अग्निवीर
वास्तविक अर्थ: सूर्य की सप्तरश्मियों का, वर्षा करने वाले बादलों का, बहने वाली वायु का, जीवन के लिए आवश्यक जलाशयों का, हमारे जीवन यापन हेतु समायोजन करने वाला इंद्र (ईश्वर) हमें सफलता देता है.
इस मंत्र में स्थिर पृथ्वी जैसा कुछ भी नहीं है.
२. जेहादी दावा
वह ईश्वर जिसने इस पृथ्वी को स्थायित्त्व प्रदान किया. [यजुर्वेद ३२/६]
अग्निवीर
दुर्भाग्य से महाविद्वान जेहादी लेखक को स्थिरता और स्थायित्व में भेद नहीं पता. भौतिक विज्ञान के “जड़त्त्व के नियम” (Law of Inertia) अनुसार कोई वस्तु चाहे रुकी हुई हो चाहे चलती हुई, अगर संतुलन में है तो उसको स्थायी कहते हैं. स्थायित्व का अर्थ गतिहीनता नहीं है.
बताते चलें कि यह मन्त्र हिंदुओं में रोज पढ़ा जाता है जिसका अर्थ है: हम उस परमेश्वर को अपने विचार और कर्म समर्पित कर दें जो सब सूर्य आदि प्रकाशमान लोकों, पृथ्वी, नक्षत्र और सम्पूर्ण ब्रह्माण्ड को स्थायित्व प्रदान करता है कि जिससे सब प्राणी सुखी हों और मोक्ष को प्राप्त हो पूर्ण आनंद को भोगें.
मन्त्र में बहुत स्पष्ट है कि उस सूर्य को भी स्थायी कहा गया है जो प्रत्यक्ष चलता हुआ दिखाई देता है. अतः मन्त्र में स्थायित्व का अर्थ गति हीनता नहीं हो सकता.
[mybooktable book=”essence-vedas-first-book-world” display=”summary” buybutton_shadowbox=”false”]
३. जेहादी दावा
इन्द्र उस फैली हुई पृथ्वी की रक्षा करता है जो स्थिर है और कई रूप वाली है. [अथर्ववेद १२/१/११]
अग्निवीर
यह मन्त्र अथर्ववेद के प्रसिद्ध भूमि सूक्त का है जो सब देशभक्तों के अंदर देश पर मर मिटने की भावनाओं का मूल स्रोत है. परन्तु जैसा सबको विदित है कि देशभक्ति और वफादारी जेहादियों के लिए सदा ही दूर की कौड़ी रही है, इस बार भी ऐसा ही निकला. इस मन्त्र में जेहादियों को स्थिर पृथ्वी दीख पड़ी! अब इसका वास्तविक अर्थ देखिये
हे पृथ्वी! तू हिम से ढके पर्वतों, घने वनों, वर्षा, भोजन आदि को धारण करने वाली है कि जिससे में सदा प्रसन्नचित्त, रक्षित और पोषित होता हूँ. तू वह सब कुछ देती है जिससे मैं ऐश्वर्यों का स्वामी होता हूँ. अगला मन्त्र कहता है- हे पृथ्वी! तू मेरी माता है और मैं तेरा पुत्र हूँ! हम सब शुद्ध हों और अपने शुभ कर्मों से तेरा ऋण चुकाएं.
४. जेहादी दावा
हम सब फैली हुई स्थिर पृथ्वी पर चलें. [अथर्ववेद १२/१/१७]
अग्निवीर
वास्तविक अर्थ: हम सब इस पृथ्वी पर आवागमन करें जो हमें धन, सम्पन्नता, पोषण, औषधि आदि से तृप्त करती है. यह हमें आश्रय देती है.
इस मन्त्र में महाविद्वान जेहादी ने “ध्रुव” शब्द देखा और बस “स्थिर” शब्द दे मारा! उसको इतना पता ही न चला कि मन्त्र में यह शब्द आश्रय देने के लिए आया है न कि खुद के स्थिर होने के लिए!
इन सबके उलट वेद में बहुत से मन्त्र हैं जिनमें पृथ्वी के गतिमान होने का स्पष्ट वर्णन है. जैसे
ऋग्वेद १०.२२.१४- यह पृथ्वी विना हाथ और पैर के भी आगे बढती जाती है. यह सूर्य के चारों ओर परिक्रमा करती है.
ऋग्वेद १०.१४९.१- सूर्य ने पृथ्वी और अन्य ग्रहों को अपने आकर्षण में ऐसे बांधा है जैसे घोड़ों को साधने वाला अश्व शिक्षक नए शिक्षित घोड़ों को उनकी लगाम से अपने चारों ओर घुमाता है.
यजुर्वेद ३३.४३- सूर्य अपने सह पिंडों जैसे पृथ्वी को अपने आकर्षण में बाँधे अपनी ही परिधि में घूमता है.
ऋग्वेद १.३५.९- सूर्य अपनी परिधि में इस प्रकार घूमता है कि उसके आकर्षण में बंधे पृथ्वी और अन्य पिंड आपस में कभी नहीं टकराते.
ऋग्वेद १.१६४.१३- सूर्य अपनी परिधि में घूमता है जो स्वयं भी चलायमान है. पृथ्वी और अन्य गृह सूर्य के चारों ओर इसलिए घुमते हैं क्योंकि सूर्य उनसे भारी है.

२. सूर्य पृथ्वी के चारों ओर घूमता है

५. जेहादी दावा
सूर्य प्रकाशमान है और सब मनुष्यों को जानता है, इसलिए उसके घोड़े उसे आकाश में ले जाते हैं कि जिससे वह विश्व को देख सके. [ऋग्वेद १/५०/१]
अग्निवीर
यह मन्त्र भी हिंदुओं के रोज की प्रार्थना का भाग है. इसका अर्थ है-
जिस प्रकार सूर्य की किरणें विश्व को देखने योग्य बनाती हैं, उसी प्रकार सब सज्जनों को उचित है कि वे अपने शुभ गुणों और कर्मों से श्रेष्ठता का प्रचार करें.
इस मन्त्र में कहीं घोड़ा नहीं आता और न ही सूर्य कहीं पृथ्वी के चारों ओर घूमा है!
६. जेहादी दावा
हे प्रकाशित सूर्य, सात घोड़ों वाले हरित नाम का एक रथ तुझे आकाश में ले जाता है. [ऋग्वेद १/५०/८]
अग्निवीर
वास्तविक अर्थ- जिस प्रकार सूर्य की सप्त रश्मियाँ इसके प्रकाश को दूर दूर तक पहुंचाती हैं उसी प्रकार तुम वेदों के सात प्रकार के छंदों को समझो.
इस मन्त्र से सूर्य का गतिमान होना समझा जा सकता है पर फिर रश्मियों का घोड़ों से कैसे सम्बन्ध रहेगा? क्योंकि किरणें तो सूर्य के चारों ओर निकलती हैं, केवल सूर्य के चलने की दिशा में नहीं, तो फिर किरणें सूर्य के घोड़े के समान कैसे होंगी? वेद तो सूर्य को गतिमान मानता ही है और इसी प्रकार कोई भी पिंड गतिमान होता है. परन्तु इस मन्त्र या किसी और में भी सूर्य का पृथ्वी के चारों ओर गति का कोई वर्णन नहीं है. वेद के अनुसार सूर्य की अपनी अलग परिधि है जिसमें वह घूमता है. [देखें ऋग्वेद १.३५.९]
७. जेहादी दावा
हे मनुष्य, सूर्य जो सबसे आकर्षक है, वह अपने स्वर्ण रथ पर सवार होकर पृथ्वी के चक्कर काटता है और पृथ्वी का अन्धकार दूर करता है. [यजुर्वेद ३३/४३]
अग्निवीर
वास्तविक अर्थ: सूर्य अपने आकर्षण से अन्य पिंडों को धारण करता हुआ अपनी परिधि में घूमता रहता है.
इस मन्त्र की बात को खगोल विज्ञानी भी स्वीकार करते हैं. खगोलशास्त्र विषय का आधार भी ऐसे तथ्य ही हैं. वास्तव में जेहादी विज्ञान में खगोलशास्त्र का वर्णन न होने के कारण उनके महाविद्वान इन मन्त्रों पर ही प्रश्न उठाने लगे हैं!
८. जेहादी दावा
बैल ने आकाश को धारण किया है. [यजुर्वेद ४.३०]
अग्निवीर
महाविद्वान जेहादी ने मन्त्र में वृषभ शब्द देखा और इसको बैल बनाने पर तुल गया! परन्तु संस्कृत भाषा से बेखबर जेहादी को यह पता नहीं कि “वृषभ” के यौगिक अर्थ “शक्तिशाली”, “सामर्थ्यवान” और “उत्तम” हैं. रूढ़ी अर्थों में बैल को वृषभ कहा जाता है क्योंकि बैल कृषि क्षेत्र में शक्ति का प्रतीक है.
वास्तविक अर्थ- हे सर्वशक्तिमान परमेश्वर! आप समस्त ब्रह्माण्ड में रम रहे हो. पृथ्वी की उत्पत्ति और पालन पोषण, सूर्य की स्थिरता, समस्त आकाशस्थ पिंडों और आकाश की व्यवस्था करने वाले हो, तथा एक आदर्श राजा की भांति सबको नियम में रखते हो. यह तो आपका स्वभाव ही है.
९. जेहादी दावा
बैल ने आकाश को धारण किया है. [यजुर्वेद १४.५]
अग्निवीर
इस मन्त्र में कोई शब्द ऐसा नहीं जिसका अर्थ बैल किया जा सके. यह मन्त्र पत्नी के कर्तव्यों पर प्रकाश डालता है.
वास्तविक अर्थ- हे पत्नी! तू अपने पति को सुख देने वाली हो और सदैव उत्तम कर्मों को करने वाली हो. तू अत्यंत बुद्धिमती हो और सदैव अपनी विद्या को सूर्य के समान बढाने वाली हो. तू सबको सूर्य के समान सुख देने वाली हो जैसे वह भोजन, प्रकाश और शुद्धता प्रदान करने वाला है. तू सबको जल के समान तृप्त करने वाली हो. तू सब ओर ज्ञान का प्रकाश करने वाली हो.
लगता यह है कि स्त्रियों को पशुओं व वस्तुओं की भांति उपयोग करने वाले जेहादियों से यह मन्त्र सहन ही नहीं हुआ!

३. अन्य कुछ आक्षेप

१०. जेहादी दावे और अग्निवीर का उत्तर
कई और दावे पुराणों को लेकर किये जाते हैं और सिद्ध करने की कोशिश की जाती है कि हिंदू धर्म अवैज्ञानिक है. परन्तु ध्यान रखना चाहिए कि पुराण धर्म के सम्बन्ध में प्रमाण नहीं हैं. केवल वेद ही अपौरुषेय (ईश्वरीय) हैं और हम यह दिखा चुके हैं कि जेहादियों ने वेदों को अवैज्ञानिक बता कर अपनी ही अज्ञानता सिद्ध की है. जहां तक पुराणों का प्रश्न है तो उनमें मुहम्मद, अकबर, विक्टोरिया आदि के किस्से भी मिलते हैं जो इस बात का प्रमाण हैं कि ये उन्नीसवीं शताब्दी तक लिखे गए हैं और विदेशी आक्रान्ताओं के शासन काल में बलपूर्वक लिखवाये गए हैं. अतः पुराणों के बारे में इस प्रकार की बातें मिल भी जाएँ तो आश्चर्य नहीं और इनसे हिंदू धर्म का सम्बन्ध भी नहीं. तो भी हमें अंदेशा है कि महाविद्वान जिहादियों ने वैसी ही मूर्खता दिखाई होगी जैसी कि उन्होंने मुहम्मद को भविष्य पुराण में वर्णित एक राक्षस बताने में दिखाई थी! इसको यहाँ पर देखें. http://agniveer.com/479/prophet-puran/
११. जिहादी दावा – सूर्य और आँख

वेद/पुराण सूर्य को नग्न आँखों से देखने का सुझाव देते हैं. वेद और पुराण यह कहते हैं कि हिंदुओं को सूर्य भगवान कि पूजा करनी चाहिए, और यदि तुम रोज सुबह सूर्य को देखोगे तो तुम्हारी आँखें तेज होंगी. इस तरह बहुत से हिंदू यह पूजा करते हैं पर आँखें तेज होने के बजाय, भारत में विश्व के सर्वाधिक नेत्रहीन लोग रहते हैं (पच्चीस लाख). सूर्य की पूजा करने के पीछे कोई वैज्ञानिक सत्य नहीं है और उल्टा वैज्ञानिक और डॉक्टर नग्न आँखों से सूर्य को देखने से मना करते हैं. अब कौन सत्य पर है, वैज्ञानिक या हिंदू धर्मग्रन्थ? आप निर्णय करें!
अग्निवीर
१. महाविद्वान जेहादी बस प्रमाण देना भूल गए कि सूर्य की पूजा करना वेद में कहाँ लिखा है!
२. हाँ, उगते सूर्य को देखना एक प्राकृतिक चिकित्सा है. आज तक दुनिया में कोई ऐसा व्यक्ति नहीं हुआ जो सूर्योदय या सूर्यास्त देखकर नेत्रहीन या कमजोर नेत्र हो गया हो. अधिक जानकारी के लिए देखें Solar observing and Eye Safety http://mintaka.sdsu.edu/GF/vision/Galileo.html
३. वैसे पाकिस्तान में अंधापन भारत से अधिक फैला हुआ है! WHO के रिपोर्ट पढ़ें.
१२. जेहादी दावा – गाय

वेद कहते हैं कि गाय पवित्र है और उसकी पूजा करनी चाहिए. (ब्राह्मण कहते हैं कि गाय के गोबर की राख में औषधीय गुण होते हैं). परन्तु पश्चिम जर्मनी की एक जानी मानी परीक्षण प्रयोगशाला में शोध हुआ तो यह बात झूठी पायी गयी.
अग्निवीर
१. हाँ! वेद स्पष्ट घोषणा करते हैं कि गाय मनुष्य मात्र के लिए अत्यंत मूल्यवान है और जो अपने जिव्हा के थोड़े से स्वाद के लिए इसे मारते हैं वे धूर्त हैं. एक गाय चाहे दूध न भी देती हो तो भी वह वातावरण के लिए मरी हुई गाय से सदैव अच्छी है. गाय के सब उत्पाद जैसे दूध, गोबर, मूत्र आदि शरीर और वातावरण पर लाभदायक प्रभाव डालते हैं. बुद्धिमान लोग केवल गोपालन करके भी अपना जीवन अच्छी प्रकार से निर्वाह कर सकते हैं.
२. वैसे क्या कोई जेहादी यह बताएगा कि पश्चिम जर्मनी कि उस प्रयोगशाला का नाम क्या है जहाँ गाय के गोबर की राख का परीक्षण किया गया था? ऐसा इसलिए क्योंकि पश्चिम जर्मनी सन १९९० से अस्तित्त्व में नहीं है! यह ऐसा ही है जैसे डॉक्टर जाकिर नाइक कैलीफोर्निया के किसी अनपढ़ किसान के परीक्षणों का प्रमाण देकर हलाल माँस का बचाव करते हैं.
३. गाय का गोबर कई लाभों के साथ साथ ईंट बनाने में भी उपयोगी सिद्ध हुआ है. केवल गोमूत्र पर ही चार अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय पेटेंट (अमेरिका और यूरोप) हमारी जानकारी में हैं. गूगल पर cow urine patent डालकर देखें, और अधिक जानकारी प्राप्त करें.
४. इस तरह ठीक ही है कि हिंदू गाय को माता के सामान महत्वपूर्ण समझते हैं.
अब इससे पहले कि यह लेख समाप्त करें, कुछ बिंदु उठाने आवश्यक हैं.
क. विज्ञान न केवल हिंदुओं की पुस्तकों में है बल्कि उनकी संस्कृति के आधार में भी ओतप्रोत है. यहाँ तक कि सामान्य से सामान्य रीति रिवाज, जो अंधविश्वासों और विदेशी प्रभाव में पुते हुए हैं, भी वैज्ञानिक सिद्धांतों पर आधारित हैं. हाथ जोड़कर नमस्ते, स्त्रियों की चूड़ी और कुंडल, प्रातःकाल अधिक जल पीना जिसे उषापान कहते हैं, माँस का त्याग, एक पत्नी/पति वाद, प्राणायाम, ध्यान, व्यायाम, झूठा न खाना, कई बार हाथ धोना, और अंगों को भली प्रकार से धोकर स्वच्छ रखना जिससे खतना आदि कराने की आवश्यकता ही न पड़े, इत्यादि सब बातें वैज्ञानिक हैं.
ख. इसीलिये एक आम पढ़ा लिखा हिंदू वैज्ञानिक और बौद्धिक माहौल में अच्छे से सामंजस्य बैठाकर आगे बढ़ जाता है.
ग. अब जरा इस्लाम का हाल देखें. पूरी दुनिया में आज पचास से अधिक इस्लामिक देश हैं. क्या किसी एक ने भी कोई बड़ा वैज्ञानिक, शोधकर्ता या व्यवसायी पैदा किया? आज तक केवल एक मुस्लिम वैज्ञानिक हुआ है जिसका नाम यहाँ लिया जा सकता है- पाकिस्तान के नोबल पुरस्कार विजेता डॉ अब्दुस सलाम. परन्तु उन्हें भी पाकिस्तान से काफ़िर कह कर बाहर खदेड़ दिया गया क्योंकि वो एक कादियानी थे. आज कोई भी ज़ाकिर नाइक कभी अब्दुस सलाम का नाम भी नहीं लेगा भले ही वह इस्लाम को विज्ञान का आधार बताता रहे! जब अब्दुस सलाम मरे तो उनकी कब्र पर “पहला मुस्लिम नोबेल पुरस्कार विजेता” लिखा गया. पर मुल्लाईयत के दबाव में पाकिस्तानी सरकार ने “मुस्लिम” शब्द हटा दिया. अब वहाँ “पहला नोबेल पुरस्कार विजेता” लिखा है!
नीचे पकिस्तान के प्रसिद्ध मुस्लिम विद्वान और लेखक हसन निसार की वीडियो देखें जिसमें वो बड़ी बेबाकी से मुसलमान उम्मत की बौद्धिक क्षमताओं पर सवाल उठाते हैं. उन्होंने इस बात को कई बार जोर देकर कहा कि सदियों से एक बड़ा दिमाग भी मुसलमानों ने पैदा नहीं किया और उस पर भी वे अपने आप को सबसे अच्छा समझते हैं और यही प्रवृत्ति उनको और अधिक अन्धकार में ले जा रही है.

अब हिंदुओं से इसकी तुलना कीजिये. बहुत कमियों के बाद भी आज वो हर जगह पर अच्छे स्थान और पदों पर होते हैं. मानव सभ्यता के आरम्भ से इस संस्कृति ने एक से बढ़कर एक हीरे मानवता को दिए हैं और आज भी दे रही है. इसका एकमात्र कारण यहाँ की सभ्यता का आधार वैज्ञानिक होना है. यह प्रकट है कि जहाँ स्वतंत्रता के बाद पाकिस्तान अपने ही बोझ से टूटा जा रहा है वहीँ भारत उसकी तुलना में बहुत आगे है बावजूद इसके कि यहाँ के धूर्त राजनेता केवल अपना स्वार्थ साधते हुए अल्पसंख्यक तुष्टिकरण की नीति को ही राजनीति समझते हैं.
हम उन सबसे, जिन्हें गैर मुस्लिमों खासकर हिंदुओं से नफरत करना ही सिखाया गया है, कहेंगे कि एक बार ठन्डे दिमाग से इस पर विचार करें. अग्निवीर पर वेदों से सम्बंधित लेख पढ़ें. सबसे आवश्यक बात यह जान लें कि वे बाहर किसी देश से आये लुटेरों की संतान नहीं हैं. वे तो सदा से भारत देश में रहने वाले अपने हिंदू पूर्वजों का ही खून हैं. वेद किसी हिंदू की जागीर नहीं, तुम्हारे भी हैं क्योंकि तुम्हारे पूर्वज इन्ही वेदों का पाठ करके तृप्त होते थे. अब अपने ही खून के भाइयों से झगडा बंद करो और वापस अपने घर अर्थात वैदिक धर्म में आ जाओ, आपका स्वागत होगा.

Learn Sanskrit Month 1

Agniveer is pleased to introduce lessons in Sanskrit for general consumption. This is a course for 20 months and we shall keep adding lessons in beginning of each month.
The course is intended towards those who understand Devanagari script and know simple English. No familiarity in Sanskrit is assumed. However those who have faint memories of Sanskrit in their school days would be able to grasp the initial lessons faster.
Sanskrit forms the foundation of our culture (not only for India but for entire humanity), it being the language of the oldest literature known to humanity. We hope these lessons would help most of us come closer to our roots.
Just few tips on speedy learning:
a. Do not get too bogged down by grammar and usage while you learn Sanskrit. Often Sanskrit is considered to be all about mugging up lots of declensions and conjugations and this fears off most students. Instead take is as a natural language. Feel free to make the most blatant grammatical errors so far you are able to convey your message. Develop a feel for the language instead of thinking about grammar.
How did we learn Hindi or English or our mother tongue? Did we learn grammar first or language first? And do we speak these languages in a grammatically correct fashion even today? Why burden Sanskrit with overdose of grammar in very beginning then?
Simply start talking on every other thing in Sanskrit and enjoy the funny pronunciations you make or blatant errors you make in grammar. Have a laugh on that and simply continue. Soon you will develop a natural grip over the language and grammar will be automatically taken care of.
b. Try using Sanskrit words even in your mother language. After all Sanskrit is the mother of all languages. Let the children associate with their Mom and have their foundations strengthened! And in process, your road to mastery of Sanskrit will also be traversed faster.
c. Download a copy of Introduction to Vedas (Hindi) from http://agniveer.com/2045/introduction-to-vedas/ if you know Hindi. This is an amazing text not only to understand Vedic concepts but learn Sanskrit naturally. Because most sections of the book are presented in very simple Sanskrit as well as Hindi. In some sections there are deviations in Sanskrit and Hindi message and it would be a good idea to explore those areas and form the right opinion!
If we find interest in this pilot, we would also work towards web-based live classroom teaching on Sanskrit, a Sanskrit course for Hindi students as well as an expert course on Vedic Grammar. May Ishwar provide us strength for all this.

अकबर से महान कौन?

हमारे पाठकों को अपने विद्यालय के दिनों में पढ़े इतिहास में अकबर का नाम और काम बखूबी याद होगा। रियासतों के रूप में टुकड़ों टुकड़ों में टूटे हुए भारत को एक बनाने की बात हो, या हिन्दू मुस्लिम झगडे मिटाने को दीन ए इलाही चलाने की बात, सब मजहब की दीवारें तोड़कर हिन्दू लड़कियों को अपने साथ शादी करने का सम्मान देने की बात हो, या हिन्दुओं के पवित्र स्थानों पर जाकर सजदा करने की, हिन्दुओं पर से जजिया कर हटाने की बात हो या फिर हिन्दुओं को अपने दरबार में जगह देने की, अकबर ही अकबर सब ओर दिखाई देता है। सच है कि हमारे इतिहासकार किसी को महान यूँ ही नहीं कह देते। इस महानता को पाने के लिए राम, कृष्ण, विक्रमादित्य, पृथ्वीराज, राणा प्रताप, शिवाजी और न जाने ऐसे कितने ही महापुरुषों के नाम तरसते रहे, पर इनके साथ “महान” शब्द न लग सका।

हमें याद है कि इतिहास की किताबों में अकबर पर पूरे अध्याय के अन्दर दो पंक्तियाँ महाराणा प्रताप पर भी होती थीं। मसलन वो कब पैदा हुए, कब मरे, कैसे विद्रोह किया, और कैसे उनके ही राजपूत उनके खिलाफ थे। इतिहासकार महाराणा प्रताप को कभी महान न कह सके। ठीक ही तो है! अकबर और राणा का मुकाबला क्या है? कहाँ अकबर पूरे भारत का सम्राट, अपने हरम में पांच हज़ार से भी ज्यादा औरतों की जिन्दगी रोशन करने वाला, उनसे दिल्लगी कर उन्हें शान बख्शने वाला, बीसियों राजपूत राजाओं को अपने दरबार में रखने वाला, और कहाँ राणा प्रताप, क्षुद्र क्षत्रिय, अपने राज्य के लिए लड़ने वाला, सत्ता का भूखा, सत्ता के लिए वन वन भटककर पत्तलों पर घास की रोटियाँ खाने वाला, जिसका कोई हरम ही नहीं इस तरह का छोटा और निष्ठुर हृदय, सब राजपूतों से केवल इसलिए लड़ने वाला कि उन्होंने अपनी लड़कियां, पत्नियाँ, बहनें अकबर को भेजीं, अकबर “महान” का संधि प्रस्ताव कई बार ठुकराने वाला घमंडी, और मुसलमान राजाओं से रोटी बेटी का सम्बन्ध भी न रखने वाला दकियानूसी, इत्यादि। कहाँ अकबर जैसा त्यागी जो अपने देश को उसके हाल पर छोड़ कर दूसरे देश भारत का भला करने पूरा जीवन यहीं पर रहा, और कहाँ राणा प्रताप जो अपनी जमीन भी ऐसे त्यागी के लिए खाली न कर पाया और इस आशा में कि एक दिन फिर से अपने राज्य पर कब्ज़ा कर लेगा, वनों में धूल फांकता, पत्नी और बच्चों को जंगलों के कष्ट देता सत्ता का भूखा!

अकबर “महान” की महानता बताने से पहले उसके महान पूर्वजों के बारे में थोड़ा जान लेना जरूरी है। भारत में पिछले तेरह सौ सालों से इस्लाम के मानने वालों ने लगातार आक्रमण किये। मुहम्मद बिन कासिम और उसके बाद आने वाले गाजियों ने एक के बाद एक हमला करके, यहाँ लूटमार, बलात्कार, नरसंहार और इन सबसे बढ़कर यहाँ रहने वाले काफिरों को अल्लाह और उसके रसूल की इच्छानुसार मुसलमान बनाने का पवित्र किया। आज के अफगानिस्तान तक पश्चिम में फैला उस समय का भारत धीरे धीरे इस्लाम के शिकंजे में आने लगा। आज के अफगानिस्तान में उस समय अहिंसक बौद्धों की निष्क्रियता ने बहुत नुकसान पहुंचाया क्योंकि इसी के चलते मुहम्मद के गाजियों के लश्कर भारत के अंदर घुस पाए। जहाँ जहाँ तक बौद्धों का प्रभाव था, वहाँ पूरी की पूरी आबादी या तो मुसलमान बना दी गयी या काट दी गयी। जहां हिंदुओं ने प्रतिरोध किया, वहाँ न तो गाजियों की अधिक चली और न अल्लाह की। यही कारण है कि सिंध के पूर्व भाग में आज भी हिंदू बहुसंख्यक हैं क्योंकि सिंध के पूर्व में राजपूत, जाट, आदि वीर जातियों ने इस्लाम को उस रूप में बढ़ने से रोक दिया जिस रूप में वह इराक, ईरान, मिस्र, अफगानिस्तान और सिंध के पश्चिम तक फैला था, अर्थात वहाँ की पुरानी संस्कृति को मिटा कर केवल इस्लाम में ही रंग दिया गया पर पूरे भारत में ऐसा नहीं हो सका।

पर बीच बीच में लुटेरे आते गए और देश को लूटते गए। तैमूरलंग ने कत्लेआम करने के नए आयाम स्थापित किये और अपनी इस पशुता को बड़ी ढिटाई से अपनी डायरी में भी लिखता गया। इसके बाद मुग़ल आये जो हमारे इतिहास में इस देश से प्यार करने वाले लिखे गए हैं! बताते चलें कि ये देशभक्त और प्रेमपुजारी मुग़ल, तैमूर और चंगेज खान के कुलों के आपस के विवाह संबंधों का ही परिणाम थे। इनमें बाबर हुआ जो अकबर “महान” का दादा था। यह वही बाबर है जिसने अपने काल में न जाने कितने मंदिर तोड़े, कितने ही हिंदुओं को मुसलमान बनाया,कितने ही हिंदुओं के सिर उतारे और उनसे मीनारें बनायीं। यह सब पवित्र कर्म करके वह उनको अपनी डायरी में लिखता भी रहता था ताकि आने वाली उसकी नस्ल इमान की पक्की हो और इसी नेक राह पर चले। क्योंकि मूर्तिपूजा दुनिया की सबसे बड़ी बुराई है और अल्लाह को वह बर्दाश्त नहीं। इस देशभक्त प्रेमपुजारी बाबर ने प्रसिद्ध राम मंदिर भी तुडवाया और उस जगह पर अपने नाम की मस्जिद बनवाई। यह बात अलग है कि वह अपने समय का प्रसिद्ध नशाखोर, शराबी, हत्यारा, समलैंगिक (पुरुषों से भोग करने वाला), छोटे बच्चों के साथ भी बिस्मिल्लाह पढकर भोग करने वाला था। पर वह था पक्का मुसलमान! तभी तो हमारे देश के मुसलमान भाई अपने असली पूर्वजों को भुला कर इस सच्चे मुसलमान के नाम की मस्जिद बनवाने के लिए दिन रात एक किये हुए हैं। खैर यह वो “महान” अकबर का महान दादा था जो अपने पोते के कारनामों से इस्लामी इतिहास में अपना नाम सुनहरे अक्षरों से लिखवा गया।

ऐसे महान दादा के पोते स्वनामधन्य अकबर “महान” के जीवन के कुछ दृश्य आपके सामने रखते हैं। इस काम में हम किसी हिन्दुवादी इतिहासकार के प्रमाण नहीं देंगे क्योंकि वे तो खामखाह अकबर “महान” से चिढ़ते हैं! हम देंगे प्रमाण अबुल फज़ल (अकबर का खास दरबारी) की आइन ए अकबरी और अकबरनामा से। और साथ ही अकबर के जीवन पर सबसे ज्यादा प्रामाणिक इतिहासकार विन्सेंट स्मिथ की अंग्रेजी की किताब “अकबर- द ग्रेट मुग़ल” से। हम दोनों किताबों के प्रमाणों को हिंदी में देंगे ताकि सबको पढ़ने में आसानी रहे। यहाँ याद रहे कि ये दोनों लेखक सदा इस बात के लिए निशाने पर रहे हैं कि इन्होने अकबर की प्रशंसा करते करते बहुत झूठ बातें लिखी हैं, इन्होने बहुत सी उसकी कमियां छुपाई हैं। पर हम यहाँ यह दिखाएँगे कि अकबर के कर्मों का प्रताप ही कुछ ऐसा था कि सच्चाई सौ परदे फाड़ कर उसी तरह सामने आ जाती है जैसे कि अँधेरे को चीर कर उजाला।

तो अब नजर डालते हैं अकबर महान से जुडी कुछ बातों पर-

अकबर महान का आगाज़

१. विन्सेंट स्मिथ ने किताब यहाँ से शुरू की है कि “अकबर भारत में एक विदेशी था। उसकी नसों में एक बूँद खून भी भारतीय नहीं था…। अकबर मुग़ल से ज्यादा एक तुर्क था” पर देखिये! हमारे इतिहासकारों और कहानीकारों ने अकबर को एक भारतीय के रूप में पेश किया है। जबकि हकीकत यह है कि अकबर के सभी पूर्वज बाबर, हुमायूं, से लेकर तैमूर तक सब भारत में लूट, बलात्कार, धर्म परिवर्तन, मंदिर विध्वंस, आदि कामों में लगे रहे। वे कभी एक भारतीय नहीं थे और इसी तरह अकबर भी नहीं था। और इस पर भी हमारी हिंदू जाति अकबर को हिन्दुस्तान की शान समझती रही!
अकबर महान की सुंदरता और अच्छी आदतें

२. बाबर शराब का शौक़ीन था, इतना कि अधिकतर समय धुत रहता था [बाबरनामा]। हुमायूं अफीम का शौक़ीन था और इस वजह से बहुत लाचार भी हो गया। अकबर ने ये दोनों आदतें अपने पिता और दादा से विरासत में लीं। अकबर के दो बच्चे नशाखोरी की आदत के चलते अल्लाह को प्यारे हुए। पर इतने पर भी इस बात पर तो किसी मुसलमान भाई को शक ही नहीं कि ये सब सच्चे मुसलमान थे।

३. कई इतिहासकार अकबर को सबसे सुन्दर आदमी घोषित करते हैं। विन्सेंट स्मिथ इस सुंदरता का वर्णन यूँ करते हैं-
“अकबर एक औसत दर्जे की लम्बाई का था। उसके बाएं पैर में लंगड़ापन था। उसका सिर अपने दायें कंधे की तरफ झुका रहता था। उसकी नाक छोटी थी जिसकी हड्डी बाहर को निकली हुई थी। उसके नाक के नथुने ऐसे दीखते थे जैसे वो गुस्से में हो। आधे मटर के दाने के बराबर एक मस्सा उसके होंठ और नथुनों को मिलाता था। वह गहरे रंग का था”

४. जहाँगीर ने लिखा है कि अकबर उसे सदा शेख ही बुलाता था भले ही वह नशे की हालत में हो या चुस्ती की हालत में। इसका मतलब यह है कि अकबर काफी बार नशे की हालत में रहता था।

५. अकबर का दरबारी लिखता है कि अकबर ने इतनी ज्यादा पीनी शुरू कर दी थी कि वह मेहमानों से बात करता करता भी नींद में गिर पड़ता था। वह अक्सर ताड़ी पीता था। वह जब ज्यादा पी लेता था तो आपे से बाहर हो जाता था और पागलों के जैसे हरकत करने लगता।

अकबर महान की शिक्षा

६. जहाँगीर ने लिखा है कि अकबर कुछ भी लिखना पढ़ना नहीं जानता था पर यह दिखाता था कि वह बड़ा भारी विद्वान है।
अकबर महान का मातृशक्ति (स्त्रियों) के लिए आदर

७. अबुल फज़ल ने लिखा है कि अपने राजा बनने के शुरूआती सालों में अकबर परदे के पीछे ही रहा! परदे के पीछे वो किस बेशर्मी को बेपर्दा कर रहा था उसकी जानकारी आगे पढ़िए।

८. अबुल फज़ल ने अकबर के हरम को इस तरह वर्णित किया है- “अकबर के हरम में पांच हजार औरतें थीं और हर एक का अपना अलग घर था।” ये पांच हजार औरतें उसकी ३६ पत्नियों से अलग थीं।

९. आइन ए अकबरी में अबुल फजल ने लिखा है- “शहंशाह के महल के पास ही एक शराबखाना बनाया गया था। वहाँ इतनी वेश्याएं इकट्ठी हो गयीं कि उनकी गिनती करनी भी मुश्किल हो गयी। दरबारी नर्तकियों को अपने घर ले जाते थे। अगर कोई दरबारी किसी नयी लड़की को घर ले जाना चाहे तो उसको अकबर से आज्ञा लेनी पड़ती थी। कई बार जवान लोगों में लड़ाई झगडा भी हो जाता था। एक बार अकबर ने खुद कुछ वेश्याओं को बुलाया और उनसे पूछा कि उनसे सबसे पहले भोग किसने किया”।

अब यहाँ सवाल पैदा होता है कि ये वेश्याएं इतनी बड़ी संख्या में कहाँ से आयीं और कौन थीं? आप सब जानते ही होंगे कि इस्लाम में स्त्रियाँ परदे में रहती हैं, बाहर नहीं। और फिर अकबर जैसे नेक मुसलमान को इतना तो ख्याल होगा ही कि मुसलमान औरतों से वेश्यावृत्ति कराना गलत है। तो अब यह सोचना कठिन नहीं है कि ये स्त्रियां कौन थीं। ये वो स्त्रियाँ थीं जो लूट के माल में अल्लाह द्वारा मोमिनों के भोगने के लिए दी जाती हैं, अर्थात काफिरों की हत्या करके उनकी लड़कियां, पत्नियाँ आदि। अकबर की सेनाओं के हाथ युद्ध में जो भी हिंदू स्त्रियाँ लगती थीं, ये उसी की भीड़ मदिरालय में लगती थी।

१०. अबुल फजल ने अकबरनामा में लिखा है- “जब भी कभी कोई रानी, दरबारियों की पत्नियाँ, या नयी लडकियां शहंशाह की सेवा (यह साधारण सेवा नहीं है) में जाना चाहती थी तो पहले उसे अपना आवेदन पत्र हरम प्रबंधक के पास भेजना पड़ता था। फिर यह पत्र महल के अधिकारियों तक पहुँचता था और फिर जाकर उन्हें हरम के अंदर जाने दिया जाता जहां वे एक महीने तक रखी जाती थीं।”

अब यहाँ देखना चाहिए कि चाटुकार अबुल फजल भी इस बात को छुपा नहीं सका कि अकबर अपने हरम में दरबारियों, राजाओं और लड़कियों तक को भी महीने के लिए रख लेता था। पूरी प्रक्रिया को संवैधानिक बनाने के लिए इस धूर्त चाटुकार ने चाल चली है कि स्त्रियाँ खुद अकबर की सेवा में पत्र भेज कर जाती थीं! इस मूर्ख को इतनी बुद्धि भी नहीं थी कि ऐसी कौन सी स्त्री होगी जो पति के सामने ही खुल्लम खुल्ला किसी और पुरुष की सेवा में जाने का आवेदन पत्र दे दे? मतलब यह है कि वास्तव में अकबर महान खुद ही आदेश देकर जबरदस्ती किसी को भी अपने हरम में रख लेता था और उनका सतीत्व नष्ट करता था।

११. रणथंभोर की संधि में अकबर महान की पहली शर्त यह थी कि राजपूत अपनी स्त्रियों की डोलियों को अकबर के शाही हरम के लिए रवाना कर दें यदि वे अपने सिपाही वापस चाहते हैं।

१२. बैरम खान जो अकबर के पिता तुल्य और संरक्षक था, उसकी हत्या करके इसने उसकी पत्नी अर्थात अपनी माता के तुल्य स्त्री से शादी की।

१३. ग्रीमन के अनुसार अकबर अपनी रखैलों को अपने दरबारियों में बाँट देता था। औरतों को एक वस्तु की तरह बांटना और खरीदना अकबर महान बखूबी करता था।

१४. मीना बाजार जो हर नए साल की पहली शाम को लगता था, इसमें सब स्त्रियों को सज धज कर आने के आदेश दिए जाते थे और फिर अकबर महान उनमें से किसी को चुन लेते थे।

नेक दिल अकबर महान

१५. ६ नवम्बर १५५६ को १४ साल की आयु में अकबर महान पानीपत की लड़ाई में भाग ले रहा था। हिंदू राजा हेमू की सेना मुग़ल सेना को खदेड़ रही थी कि अचानक हेमू को आँख में तीर लगा और वह बेहोश हो गया। उसे मरा सोचकर उसकी सेना में भगदड़ मच गयी। तब हेमू को बेहोशी की हालत में अकबर महान के सामने लाया गया और इसने बहादुरी से हेमू का सिर काट लिया और तब इसे गाजी के खिताब से नवाजा गया। (गाजी की पदवी इस्लाम में उसे मिलती है जिसने किसी काफिर को कतल किया हो। ऐसे गाजी को जन्नत नसीब होती है और वहाँ सबसे सुन्दर हूरें इनके लिए बुक होती हैं)। हेमू के सिर को काबुल भिजा दिया गया एवं उसके धड को दिल्ली के दरवाजे से लटका दिया गया ताकि नए आतंकवादी बादशाह की रहमदिली सब को पता चल सके।

१६. इसके तुरंत बाद जब अकबर महान की सेना दिल्ली आई तो कटे हुए काफिरों के सिरों से मीनार बनायी गयी जो जीत के जश्न का प्रतीक है और यह तरीका अकबर महान के पूर्वजों से ही चला आ रहा है।

१७. हेमू के बूढ़े पिता को भी अकबर महान ने कटवा डाला। और औरतों को उनकी सही जगह अर्थात शाही हरम में भिजवा दिया गया।

१८. अबुल फजल लिखता है कि खान जमन के विद्रोह को दबाने के लिए उसके साथी मोहम्मद मिराक को हथकडियां लगा कर हाथी के सामने छोड़ दिया गया। हाथी ने उसे सूंड से उठाकर फैंक दिया। ऐसा पांच दिनों तक चला और उसके बाद उसको मार डाला गया।

१९. चित्तौड़ पर कब्ज़ा करने के बाद अकबर महान ने तीस हजार हिंदू नागरिकों का क़त्ल करवाया।

२०. अकबर ने मुजफ्फर शाह को हाथी से कुचलवाया। हमजबान की जबान ही कटवा डाली। मसूद हुसैन मिर्ज़ा की आँखें सीकर बंद कर दी गयीं। उसके ३०० साथी उसके सामने लाये गए और उनके चेहरे पर गधों, भेड़ों और कुत्तों की खालें डाल कर काट डाला गया। विन्सेंट स्मिथ ने यह लिखा है कि अकबर महान फांसी देना, सिर कटवाना, शरीर के अंग कटवाना, आदि सजाएं भी देते थे।

२१. २ सितम्बर १५७३ के दिन अहमदाबाद में उसने २००० दुश्मनों के सिर काटकर अब तक की सबसे ऊंची सिरों की मीनार बनायी। वैसे इसके पहले सबसे ऊंची मीनार बनाने का सौभाग्य भी अकबर महान के दादा बाबर का ही था। अर्थात कीर्तिमान घर के घर में ही रहा!

२२. अकबरनामा के अनुसार जब बंगाल का दाउद खान हारा, तो कटे सिरों के आठ मीनार बनाए गए थे। यह फिर से एक नया कीर्तिमान था। जब दाउद खान ने मरते समय पानी माँगा तो उसे जूतों में पानी पीने को दिया गया।

न्यायकारी अकबर महान

२३. थानेश्वर में दो संप्रदायों कुरु और पुरी के बीच पूजा की जगह को लेकर विवाद चल रहा था। अकबर ने आदेश दिया कि दोनों आपस में लड़ें और जीतने वाला जगह पर कब्ज़ा कर ले। उन मूर्ख आत्मघाती लोगों ने आपस में ही अस्त्र शस्त्रों से लड़ाई शुरू कर दी। जब पुरी पक्ष जीतने लगा तो अकबर ने अपने सैनकों को कुरु पक्ष की तरफ से लड़ने का आदेश दिया। और अंत में इसने दोनों तरफ के लोगों को ही अपने सैनिकों से मरवा डाला। और फिर अकबर महान जोर से हंसा।

२४. हल्दीघाटी के युद्ध में अकबर की नीति यही थी कि राजपूत ही राजपूतों के विरोध में लड़ें। बादायुनी ने अकबर के सेनापति से बीच युद्ध में पूछा कि प्रताप के राजपूतों को हमारी तरफ से लड़ रहे राजपूतों से कैसे अलग पहचानेंगे? तब उसने कहा कि इसकी जरूरत नहीं है क्योंकि किसी भी हालत में मरेंगे तो राजपूत ही और फायदा इस्लाम का ही होगा।

२५. कर्नल टोड लिखते हैं कि अकबर ने एकलिंग की मूर्ति तोड़ी और उस स्थान पर नमाज पढ़ी।

२६. एक बार अकबर शाम के समय जल्दी सोकर उठ गया तो उसने देखा कि एक नौकर उसके बिस्तर के पास सो रहा है। इससे उसको इतना गुस्सा आया कि नौकर को इस बात के लिए एक मीनार से नीचे फिंकवा दिया।

२७. अगस्त १६०० में अकबर की सेना ने असीरगढ़ का किला घेर लिया पर मामला बराबरी का था। न तो वह किला टोड पाया और न ही किले की सेना अकबर को हरा सकी। विन्सेंट स्मिथ ने लिखा है कि अकबर ने एक अद्भुत तरीका सोचा। उसने किले के राजा मीरां बहादुर को आमंत्रित किया और अपने सिर की कसम खाई कि उसे सुरक्षित वापस जाने देगा। तब मीरां शान्ति के नाम पर बाहर आया और अकबर के सामने सम्मान दिखाने के लिए तीन बार झुका। पर अचानक उसे जमीन पर धक्का दिया गया ताकि वह पूरा सजदा कर सके क्योंकि अकबर महान को यही पसंद था।
उसको अब पकड़ लिया गया और आज्ञा दी गयी कि अपने सेनापति को कहकर आत्मसमर्पण करवा दे। सेनापति ने मानने से मना कर दिया और अपने लड़के को अकबर के पास यह पूछने भेजा कि उसने अपनी प्रतिज्ञा क्यों तोड़ी? अकबर ने बच्चे से पूछा कि क्या तेरा पिता आत्मसमर्पण के लिए तैयार है? तब बालक ने कहा कि उसका पिता समर्पण नहीं करेगा चाहे राजा को मार ही क्यों न डाला जाए। यह सुनकर अकबर महान ने उस बालक को मार डालने का आदेश दिया। इस तरह झूठ के बल पर अकबर महान ने यह किला जीता।

यहाँ ध्यान देना चाहिए कि यह घटना अकबर की मृत्यु से पांच साल पहले की ही है। अतः कई लोगों का यह कहना कि अकबर बाद में बदल गया था, एक झूठ बात है।

२८. इसी तरह अपने ताकत के नशे में चूर अकबर ने बुंदेलखंड की प्रतिष्ठित रानी दुर्गावती से लड़ाई की और लोगों का क़त्ल किया।

अकबर महान और महाराणा प्रताप

२९. ऐसे इतिहासकार जिनका अकबर दुलारा और चहेता है, एक बात नहीं बताते कि कैसे एक ही समय पर राणा प्रताप और अकबर महान हो सकते थे जबकि दोनों एक दूसरे के घोर विरोधी थे?

३०. यहाँ तक कि विन्सेंट स्मिथ जैसे अकबर प्रेमी को भी यह बात माननी पड़ी कि चित्तौड़ पर हमले के पीछे केवल उसकी सब कुछ जीतने की हवस ही काम कर रही थी। वहीँ दूसरी तरफ महाराणा प्रताप अपने देश के लिए लड़ रहे थे और कोशिश की कि राजपूतों की इज्जत उनकी स्त्रियां मुगलों के हरम में न जा सकें। शायद इसी लिए अकबर प्रेमी इतिहासकारों ने राणा को लड़ाकू और अकबर को देश निर्माता के खिताब से नवाजा है!

अकबर महान अगर, राणा शैतान तो
शूकर है राजा, नहीं शेर वनराज है
अकबर आबाद और राणा बर्बाद है तो
हिजड़ों की झोली पुत्र, पौरुष बेकार है
अकबर महाबली और राणा बलहीन तो
कुत्ता चढ़ा है जैसे मस्तक गजराज है
अकबर सम्राट, राणा छिपता भयभीत तो
हिरण सोचे, सिंह दल उसका शिकार है
अकबर निर्माता, देश भारत है उसकी देन
कहना यह जिनका शत बार धिक्कार है
अकबर है प्यारा जिसे राणा स्वीकार नहीं
रगों में पिता का जैसे खून अस्वीकार है।
अकबर और इस्लाम

३१. हिन्दुस्तानी मुसलमानों को यह कह कर बेवकूफ बनाया जाता है कि अकबर ने इस्लाम की अच्छाइयों को पेश किया। असलियत यह है कि कुरआन के खिलाफ जाकर ३६ शादियाँ करना, शराब पीना, नशा करना, दूसरों से अपने आगे सजदा करवाना आदि करके भी इस्लाम को अपने दामन से बाँधे रखा ताकि राजनैतिक फायदा मिल सके। और सबसे मजेदार बात यह है कि वंदे मातरम में शिर्क दिखाने वाले मुल्ला मौलवी अकबर की शराब, अफीम, ३६ बीवियों, और अपने लिए करवाए सजदों में भी इस्लाम को महफूज़ पाते हैं! किसी मौलवी ने आज तक यह फतवा नहीं दिया कि अकबर या बाबर जैसे शराबी और समलैंगिक मुसलमान नहीं हैं और इनके नाम की मस्जिद हराम है।

३२. अकबर ने खुद को दिव्य आदमी के रूप में पेश किया। उसने लोगों को आदेश दिए कि आपस में “अल्लाह ओ अकबर” कह कर अभिवादन किया जाए। भोले भाले मुसलमान सोचते हैं कि वे यह कह कर अल्लाह को बड़ा बता रहे हैं पर अकबर ने अल्लाह के साथ अपना नाम जोड़कर अपनी दिव्यता फैलानी चाही। अबुल फज़ल के अनुसार अकबर खुद को सर्वज्ञ (सब कुछ जानने वाला) की तरह पेश करता था। ऐसा ही इसके लड़के जहांगीर ने लिखा है।

३३. अकबर ने अपना नया पंथ दीन ए इलाही चलाया जिसका केवल एक मकसद खुद की बडाई करवाना था। उसके चाटुकारों ने इस धूर्तता को भी उसकी उदारता की तरह पेश किया!

३४. अकबर को इतना महान बताए जाने का एक कारण ईसाई इतिहासकारों का यह था कि क्योंकि इसने हिंदू धर्म और इस्लाम दोनों का ही जम कर अपमान किया और इस तरह भारत में अंग्रेजों के इसाईयत फैलाने के उद्देश्य में बड़ा कारण बना। विन्सेंट स्मिथ ने भी इस विषय पर अपनी राय दी है।

३५. अकबर भाषा बोलने में बड़ा चतुर था। विन्सेंट स्मिथ लिखता है कि मीठी भाषा के अलावा उसकी सबसे बड़ी खूबी अपने जीवन में दिखाई बर्बरता है!

३६. अकबर ने अपने को रूहानी ताकतों से भरपूर साबित करने के लिए कितने ही झूठ बोले। जैसे कि उसके पैरों की धुलाई करने से निकले गंदे पानी में अद्भुत ताकत है जो रोगों का इलाज कर सकता है। ये वैसे ही दावे हैं जैसे मुहम्मद साहब के बारे में हदीसों में किये गए हैं। अकबर के पैरों का पानी लेने के लिए लोगों की भीड़ लगवाई जाती थी। उसके दरबारियों को तो यह अकबर के नापाक पैर का चरणामृत पीना पड़ता था ताकि वह नाराज न हो जाए।

अकबर महान और जजिया कर

३७. इस्लामिक शरीयत के अनुसार किसी भी इस्लामी राज्य में रहने वाले गैर मुस्लिमों को अगर अपनी संपत्ति और स्त्रियों को छिनने से सुरक्षित रखना होता था तो उनको इसकी कीमत देनी पड़ती थी जिसे जजिया कहते थे। यानी इसे देकर फिर कोई अल्लाह व रसूल का गाजी आपकी संपत्ति, बेटी, बहन, पत्नी आदि को नहीं उठाएगा। कुछ अकबर प्रेमी कहते हैं कि अकबर ने जजिया खत्म कर दिया था। लेकिन इस बात का इतिहास में एक जगह भी उल्लेख नहीं! केवल इतना है कि यह जजिया रणथम्भौर के लिए माफ करने की शर्त राखी गयी थी जिसके बदले वहाँ के हिंदुओं को अपनी स्त्रियों को अकबर के हरम में भिजवाना था! यही कारण बना की इन मुस्लिम सुल्तानों के काल में हिन्दू स्त्रियाँ जौहर में जलना अधिक पसंद करती थी।

३८. यह एक सफ़ेद झूठ है कि उसने जजिया खत्म कर दिया। आखिरकार अकबर जैसा सच्चा मुसलमान जजिया जैसे कुरआन के आदेश को कैसे हटा सकता था? इतिहास में कोई प्रमाण नहीं कि उसने अपने राज्य में कभी जजिया बंद करवाया हो।

अकबर महान और उसका सपूत

३९. भारत में महान इस्लामिक शासन की सबसे बड़ी विशेषता यह थी कि बादशाह के अपने बच्चे ही उसके खिलाफ बगावत कर बैठते थे! हुमायूं बाबर से दुखी था और जहांगीर अकबर से, शाहजहां जहांगीर से दुखी था तो औरंगजेब शाहजहाँ से। जहांगीर (सलीम) ने १६०२ में खुद को बादशाह घोषित कर दिया और अपना दरबार इलाहबाद में लगाया। कुछ इतिहासकार कहते हैं की जोधा अकबर की पत्नी थी या जहाँगीर की, इस पर विवाद है। सच तो ये है कि जोधा नामक किसी व्यक्ति का ज़िक्र इतिहास के पन्नों में नहीं है। हाँ, एक मनभावती का ज़िक्र है जो सम्भवतः इन दोनों बाप बेटों के दरिंदगी की शिकार थी। शायद यही बाप-बेटे की दुश्मनी का कारण बना, क्योंकि सल्तनत के तख़्त के लिए तो जहाँगीर के अलावा कोई और दावेदार था ही नहीं!

४०. ध्यान रहे कि इतिहासकारों के लाडले और सबसे उदारवादी राजा अकबर ने ही सबसे पहले “प्रयागराज” जैसे काफिर शब्द को बदल कर इलाहबाद कर दिया था।

४१. जहांगीर अपने अब्बूजान अकबर महान की मौत की ही दुआएं करने लगा। स्मिथ लिखता है कि अगर जहांगीर का विद्रोह कामयाब हो जाता तो वह अकबर को मार डालता। बाप को मारने की यह कोशिश यहाँ तो परवान न चढी लेकिन आगे जाकर आखिरकार यह सफलता औरंगजेब को मिली जिसने अपने अब्बू को कष्ट दे दे कर मारा। वैसे कई इतिहासकार यह कहते हैं कि अकबर को जहांगीर ने ही जहर देकर मारा।

अकबर महान और उसका शक्की दिमाग

४२. अकबर ने एक आदमी को केवल इसी काम पर रखा था कि वह उनको जहर दे सके जो लोग अकबर को पसंद नहीं!

४३. अकबर महान ने न केवल कम भरोसेमंद लोगों का कतल कराया बल्कि उनका भी कराया जो उसके भरोसे के आदमी थे जैसे- बैरम खान (अकबर का गुरु जिसे मारकर अकबर ने उसकी बीवी से निकाह कर लिया), जमन, असफ खान (इसका वित्त मंत्री), शाह मंसूर, मानसिंह, कामरान का बेटा, शेख अब्दुरनबी, मुइजुल मुल्क, हाजी इब्राहिम और बाकी सब मुल्ला जो इसे नापसंद थे। पूरी सूची स्मिथ की किताब में दी हुई है। और फिर जयमल जिसे मारने के बाद उसकी पत्नी को अपने हरम के लिए खींच लाया और लोगों से कहा कि उसने इसे सती होने से बचा लिया!

समाज सेवक अकबर महान

४४. अकबर के शासन में मरने वाले की संपत्ति बादशाह के नाम पर जब्त कर ली जाती थी और मृतक के घर वालों का उस पर कोई अधिकार नहीं होता था।

४५. अपनी माँ के मरने पर उसकी भी संपत्ति अपने कब्जे में ले ली जबकि उसकी माँ उसे सब परिवार में बांटना चाहती थी।

अकबर महान और उसके नवरत्न

४६. अकबर के चाटुकारों ने राजा विक्रमादित्य के दरबार की कहानियों के आधार पर उसके दरबार और नौ रत्नों की कहानी घड़ी है। असलियत यह है कि अकबर अपने सब दरबारियों को मूर्ख समझता था। उसने कहा था कि वह अल्लाह का शुक्रगुजार है कि इसको योग्य दरबारी नहीं मिले वरना लोग सोचते कि अकबर का राज उसके दरबारी चलाते हैं वह खुद नहीं।

४७. प्रसिद्ध नवरत्न टोडरमल अकबर की लूट का हिसाब करता था। इसका काम था जजिया न देने वालों की औरतों को हरम का रास्ता दिखाना।

४८. एक और नवरत्न अबुल फजल अकबर का अव्वल दर्जे का चाटुकार था। बाद में जहाँगीर ने इसे मार डाला।

४९. फैजी नामक रत्न असल में एक साधारण सा कवि था जिसकी कलम अपने शहंशाह को प्रसन्न करने के लिए ही चलती थी। कुछ इतिहासकार कहते हैं कि वह अपने समय का भारत का सबसे बड़ा कवि था। आश्चर्य इस बात का है कि यह सर्वश्रेष्ठ कवि एक अनपढ़ और जाहिल शहंशाह की प्रशंसा का पात्र था! यह ऐसी ही बात है जैसे कोई अरब का मनुष्य किसी संस्कृत के कवि के भाषा सौंदर्य का गुणगान करता हो!

५०. बुद्धिमान बीरबल शर्मनाक तरीके से एक लड़ाई में मारा गया। बीरबल अकबर के किस्से असल में मन बहलाव की बातें हैं जिनका वास्तविकता से कोई सम्बन्ध नहीं। ध्यान रहे कि ऐसी कहानियाँ दक्षिण भारत में तेनालीराम के नाम से बहुत पहले से प्रचलित हैं।

५१. अगले रत्न शाह मंसूर दूसरे रत्न अबुल फजल के हाथों सबसे बड़े रत्न अकबर के आदेश पर मार डाले गए!

५२. मान सिंह जो देश में पैदा हुआ सबसे नीच गद्दार था, ने अपनी बहन जहांगीर को दी। और बाद में इसी जहांगीर ने मान सिंह की पोती को भी अपने हरम में खींच लिया। यही मानसिंह अकबर के आदेश पर जहर देकर मार डाला गया और इसके पिता भगवान दास ने आत्महत्या कर ली।

५३. इन नवरत्नों को अपनी बीवियां, लडकियां, बहनें तो अकबर की खिदमत में भेजनी पड़ती ही थीं ताकि बादशाह सलामत उनको भी सलामत रखें। और साथ ही अकबर महान के पैरों पर डाला गया पानी भी इनको पीना पड़ता था जैसा कि ऊपर बताया गया है।

५४. रत्न टोडरमल अकबर का वफादार था तो भी उसकी पूजा की मूर्तियां अकबर ने तुडवा दीं। इससे टोडरमल को दुःख हुआ और इसने इस्तीफ़ा दे दिया और वाराणसी चला गया।

अकबर और उसके गुलाम

५५. अकबर ने एक ईसाई पुजारी को एक रूसी गुलाम का पूरा परिवार भेंट में दिया। इससे पता चलता है कि अकबर गुलाम रखता था और उन्हें वस्तु की तरह भेंट में दिया और लिया करता था।

५६. कंधार में एक बार अकबर ने बहुत से लोगों को गुलाम बनाया क्योंकि उन्होंने १५८१-८२ में इसकी किसी नीति का विरोध किया था। बाद में इन गुलामों को मंडी में बेच कर घोड़े खरीदे गए।

५७. जब शाही दस्ते शहर से बाहर जाते थे तो अकबर के हरम की औरतें जानवरों की तरह सोने के पिंजरों में बंद कर दी जाती थीं।

५८. वैसे भी प्रचलित इस्लाम के नियमों के अनुसार युद्ध में पकडे गए लोग और उनके बीवी बच्चे गुलाम समझे जाते हैं जिनको अपनी हवस मिटाने के लिए भी प्रयोग किया जा सकता है। इस्लामी आलिमों का अनुसार अल्लाह ने कुरान में यह व्यवस्था दे रखी है।

५९. अकबर बहुत नए तरीकों से गुलाम बनाता था। उसके आदमी किसी भी घोड़े के सिर पर एक फूल रख देते थे। फिर बादशाह की आज्ञा से उस घोड़े के मालिक के सामने दो विकल्प रखे जाते थे, या तो वह अपने घोड़े को भूल जाये, या अकबर की वित्तीय गुलामी क़ुबूल करे।

कुछ और तथ्य

६०. जब अकबर मरा था तो उसके पास दो करोड़ से ज्यादा अशर्फियाँ केवल आगरे के किले में थीं। इसी तरह के और खजाने छह और जगह पर भी थे। इसके बावजूद भी उसने १५९५-१५९९ की भयानक भुखमरी के समय एक सिक्का भी देश की सहायता में खर्च नहीं किया।

६१. अकबर ने प्रयागराज (जिसे बाद में इसी धर्म निरपेक्ष महात्मा ने इलाहबाद नाम दिया था) में गंगा के तटों पर रहने वाली सारी आबादी का क़त्ल करवा दिया और सब इमारतें गिरा दीं क्योंकि जब उसने इस शहर को जीता तो लोग उसके इस्तकबाल करने की जगह घरों में छिप गए। यही कारण है कि प्रयागराज के तटों पर कोई पुरानी इमारत नहीं है।

६२. एक बहुत बड़ा झूठ यह है कि फतेहपुर सीकरी अकबर ने बनवाया था। इसका कोई विश्वसनीय प्रमाण नहीं है। बाकी दरिंदे लुटेरों की तरह इसने भी पहले सीकरी पर आक्रमण किया और फिर प्रचारित कर दिया कि यह मेरा है। इसी तरह इसके पोते और इसी की तरह दरिंदे शाहजहाँ ने यह ढोल पिटवाया था कि ताज महल इसने बनवाया है वह भी अपनी चौथी पत्नी की याद में जो इसके और अपने सत्रहवें बच्चे को पैदा करने के समय चल बसी थी!

तो ये कुछ उदाहरण थे अकबर “महान” के जीवन से ताकि आपको पता चले कि हमारे नपुंसक इतिहासकारों की नजरों में महान बनना क्यों हर किसी के बस की बात नहीं। क्या इतिहासकार और क्या फिल्मकार और क्या कलाकार, सब एक से एक मक्कार, देशद्रोही, कुल कलंक, नपुंसक हैं जिन्हें फिल्म बनाते हुए अकबर तो दीखता है पर महाराणा प्रताप कहीं नहीं दीखता। अब देखिये कि अकबर पर बनी फिल्मों में इस शराबी, नशाखोर, बलात्कारी, और लाखों हिंदुओं के हत्यारे अकबर के बारे में क्या दिखाया गया है और क्या छुपाया। बैरम खान की पत्नी, जो इसकी माता के सामान थी, से इसकी शादी का जिक्र किसी ने नहीं किया। इस जानवर को इस तरह पेश किया गया है कि जैसे फरिश्ता! जोधाबाई से इसकी शादी की कहानी दिखा दी पर यह नहीं बताया कि जोधा असल में जहांगीर की पत्नी थी और शायद दोनों उसका उपभोग कर रहे थे। दिखाया यह गया कि इसने हिंदू लड़की से शादी करके उसका धर्म नहीं बदला, यहाँ तक कि उसके लिए उसके महल में मंदिर बनवाया! असलियत यह है कि बरसों पुराने वफादार टोडरमल की पूजा की मूर्ति भी जिस अकबर से सहन न हो सकी और उसे झट तोड़ दिया, ऐसे अकबर ने लाचार लड़की के लिए मंदिर बनवाया, यह दिखाना धूर्तता की पराकाष्ठा है। पूरी की पूरी कहानियाँ जैसे मुगलों ने हिन्दुस्तान को अपना घर समझा और इसे प्यार दिया, हेमू का सिर काटने से अकबर का इनकार, देश की शान्ति और सलामती के लिए जोधा से शादी, उसका धर्म परिवर्तन न करना, हिंदू रीति से शादी में आग के चारों तरफ फेरे लेना, राज महल में जोधा का कृष्ण मंदिर और अकबर का उसके साथ पूजा में खड़े होकर तिलक लगवाना, अकबर को हिंदुओं को जबरन इस्लाम क़ुबूल करवाने का विरोधी बताना, हिंदुओं पर से कर हटाना, उसके राज्य में हिंदुओं को भी उसका प्रशंसक बताना, आदि ऐसी हैं जो असलियत से कोसों दूर हैं जैसा कि अब आपको पता चल गयी होंगी। “हिन्दुस्तान मेरी जान तू जान ए हिन्दोस्तां” जैसे गाने अकबर जैसे बलात्कारी, और हत्यारे के लिए लिखने वालों और उन्हें दिखाने वालों को उसी के सामान झूठा और दरिंदा समझा जाना चाहिए।

चित्तौड़ में तीस हजार लोगों का कत्लेआम करने वाला, हिंदू स्त्रियों को एक के बाद एक अपनी पत्नी या रखैल बनने पर विवश करने वाला, नगरों और गाँवों में जाकर नरसंहार कराकर लोगों के कटे सिरों से मीनार बनाने वाला, जिस देश के इतिहास में महान, सम्राट, “शान ए हिन्दोस्तां” लिखा जाए और उसे देश का निर्माता कहा जाए कि भारत को एक छत्र के नीचे उसने खड़ा कर दिया, उस देश का विनाश ही होना चाहिए। वहीं दूसरी तरफ जो ऐसे दरिंदे, नपुंसक के विरुद्ध धर्म और देश की रक्षा करता हुआ अपने से कई गुना अधिक सेनाओं से लड़ा, जंगल जंगल मारा मारा फिरता रहा, अपना राज्य छोड़ा, सब साथियों को छोड़ा, पत्तल पर घास की रोटी खाकर भी जिसने वैदिक धर्म की अग्नि को तुर्की आंधी से कभी बुझने नहीं दिया, वह महाराणा प्रताप इन इतिहासकारों और फिल्मकारों की दृष्टि में “जान ए हिन्दुस्तान” तो दूर “जान ए राजस्थान” भी नहीं था! उसे सदा अपने राज्य मेवाड़ की सत्ता के लिए लड़ने वाला एक लड़ाका ही बताया गया जिसके लिए इतिहास की किताबों में चार पंक्तियाँ ही पर्याप्त हैं। ऐसी मानसिकता और विचारधारा, जिसने हमें अपने असली गौरवशाली इतिहास को आज तक नहीं पढ़ने दिया, हमारे कातिलों और लुटेरों को महापुरुष बताया और शिवाजी और राणा प्रताप जैसे धर्म रक्षकों को लुटेरा और स्वार्थी बताया, को आज अपने पैरों तले रौंदना है।

संकल्प कीजिये कि अब आपके घर में अकबर की जगह राणा प्रताप की चर्चा होगी। क्योंकि इतना सब पता होने पर यदि अब भी कोई अकबर के गीत गाना चाहता है तो उस देशद्रोही और धर्मद्रोही को कम से कम इस देश में रहने का अधिकार नहीं होना चाहिए।

अब तो न अकबर न बाबर से वहशी
दरिन्दे कभी पुज न पायें धरा पर
जो नाम इनका ले कोई अपनी जबाँ से
बता देना राणा की तलवार का बल
इस धूर्त दरिन्दे के पर्दाफाश के बाद, भारत के सच्चे सपूत को अग्निवीर का शत शत नमन :
कोई पूछे कितना था राणा का भाला
तो कहना कि अकबर के जितना था भाला
जो पूछे कोई कैसे उठता था भाला
बता देना हाथों में ज्यों नाचे माला
चलाता था राणा जब रण में ये भाला
उठा देता पांवों को मुग़लों के भाला
जो पूछे कभी क्यों न अकबर लड़ा तो
बता देना कारण था राणा का भाला।

Similarities in Islam and Vedas

The concept of Rebirth after this life and births before this life is the central theme of Vedas. However, a new conspiracy has started that claims that the concept of rebirth is not to be found in Vedas and was incorporated in Hinduism much later through Upanishads and Geeta. This conspiracy started with the growth of British imperialism because this was necessary for them to bring Hindus closer to Christianity to obtain Paradise. However, in recent times, now that Islamic rule by sword no more exists in India, thanks to bravery of a whole generation from brave Rajputs like Rana Pratap to valiant Marathas like Chhatrapati Shivaji, this conspiracy has been adopted by modern day fanatic Islamic dawah agents who believe that the only way to achieve Heaven of 72 virgins is by luring people to the fanatic version of Islam.

A modern era preacher like Zakir Naik or Abdullah Tariq, who have their own versions of Islam to spread would start by showcasing similarities between Vedas and Quran. They would highlight on three key points:

• Both Vedas and Quran believe in One and only One God who is to be worshipped.

• Both Vedas and Quran believe God to be formless.

• Both Vedas and Quran do not believe in concept of rebirth.

And then they would continue to highlight how Vedas have got adulterated and hence Quran alone (the latest abridged version of Vedas) needs to be believed in to be a true Hindu.

Especially after the Agniveer movement in recent months, this movement has intensified a lot. This has to happen because Agniveer movement has started a process of erstwhile Muslims coming closer to Hinduism. Further, many enlightened Muslims are questioning their Maulanas and their beliefs increasingly. Conversion activities by Dawah activists have seen a significant drop in urban and semi-urban regions in last few months. Not to mention the growing impact on netizens. The earlier copy-paste from Zakir articles has reduced because now Hindu activists post reply from Agniveer.

Few years ago, Times of India published an article. Titled ‘Namaz and Namo Namah’, it praised a group of Muslim pundits who are masters of Sanskrit and hence well-versed in both Quran and Vedas. The article starts with a very secular outlook and then in passing states that both Quran and Vedas believe in One God and do not believe in rebirth.

While we congratulate these Muslim masters of Sanskrit for love for their foundations, we ask them very specifically:

Will these Muslim scholars of Sanskrit clearly assert that a follower of Vedas, if a good, noble charitable nationalist person, would still be blessed with Paradise by Allah even if he does not embrace Islam or does not believe in Muhammad being a Prophet or refuses to accept Quran as word of Allah or does not believe in Judgment Day?

We all know the answer. Zakir Naik has given it several times – that even the most noble person on earth will have to burn in Hell forever if he or she does not believe in Quran, Muhammad, etc! Now you know what these fanatics mean when they claim that Islam stands for peace!

But, Agniveer considers such articles to be a vindication of the fact that the foundations are gradually shaking. However, to dispel the misconceptions, we would like to equip all truth-seekers with certain critical facts:

(Note: We are referring to Islam as preached by likes of Zakir Naik and IRF. We are not referring to the Islam followed by scientists like Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam and Dr. Pervez Hoodbhoy)

Islam does not believe in the worship of One and Only One God/Allah.

In Islam, one has to include Muhammad along with Allah in worship. The Kalama of Islam was created from two different phrases from two different parts of Quran to mean that “There is no God but Allah” and “Muhammad is his Prophet.” You cannot be a Muslim and escape Hell if you recite the first part but refuse to utter the second part. Additionally, you must believe in a million other concepts that cannot be verified or accepted logically – Heaven, Hell, 72 virgins in Heaven, Angels, Haj, Mecca, Namaz, Circumcision etc etc.

Vedas truly believe in worship of One and Only One God/ Ishwar.

As per Vedas, there is no agent needed between you and Ishwar. You have a direct connection. All other people and resources and mere tools to reach Him and one need not remember them during worship. For more details, read my book “Essence of Vedas.”
Islam does not believe in formless God/Allah.
As per Islam, God has a finite shape, and he sits over the 7th sky on top of a throne. He is like a giant amoeba who keeps changing shape and has boundaries. Instead of being formless, he has dynamic but limited form.

Vedic Ishwar/ God is truly formless.

The Vedic Ishwar is omnipresent and hence there is no space vacant of him. He is within and outside everything, everywhere and every place. That is why you need not go to a temple, mosque, pilgrimage or Kaba to seek Him. He is within you. In fact, you are within Him, and you can find Him through your mind by doing noble actions, meditation and enhancing knowledge. For details, read my book “Essential lessons from Vedas.”

Quran clearly believes in rebirth.

Unlike popularly believed, the original Quran has several verses that demonstrate without a doubt that Quran has foundations in the theory of rebirth. Muhammad himself willed to take birth again and again. The only way that Islam can refuse belief in rebirth is by refusing to accept the words of Muhammad.

Here are some Quranic verses on rebirth:

And well ye knew those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath:
We said to them: “Be ye apes, despised and rejected.”
[Quran 2:65]

Say: “…. Those who incurred the curse of Allah and His wrath, those of whom some he transformed into apes and swine, those who worshipped Evil; –these are (many times) worse in rank, and far more astray from the even Path!”
[Quran 5:63]

When in their insolence they transgressed [all] prohibitions, We said to them: “Be ye apes, despised and rejected.”
[Quran 7:166]

Agniveer
The above verses clearly show that Allah gives different bodies to the people as per their deeds. This is merely the concept of rebirth in any religion. The only difference is that Allah takes no time in changing the bodies for the souls whereas all others believe this process to be carried out under relatively slow natural unchangeable laws.

We are not to be frustrated from changing your Forms and creating you [again] in [forms] that ye know not.
[Quran 56:60, 61]

Agniveer
This verse seems to be an answer from Allah to a question, “will you create me in different forms again and again?”

Tafsir e Azeezi contains a hadith in which Muhammad says- “It is confirmed that you have been created to sustain for eternity. It is also confirmed that you die and go to other world every time and you will continue to do so forever”.

How can ye reject the faith in Allah?- seeing that ye were without life, and He gave you life; then will He cause you to die, and will again bring you to life; and again to Him will ye return.
[Quran 2:28]

Agniveer
This verse is totally in sync with two main concepts of Vedas. One the uncreated souls and second their cycle of birth and death. The word “ye” is the proof of existence of the entity “ye”, even before Allah gave life to it. If Allah would have created this entity “ye”, the verse would have been “…seeing that ye did not exist and He made you existent…”. This contradicts with the common belief of many Muslims that souls are created by Allah. To hold this verse true in all era and thus Allah to be outside the time bound, “ye” has to be without beginning as mentioned in this verse.

Life after death and death after life in cyclic order is clearly evident from the verse, which is exactly the same as that of Vedic concept of “Punarjanm” or “Rebirth”.

Some people might say that giving life again implies the rising up of dead from the graves on judgment day, but then in that case, Quran will not be eternal as claimed by Mullahs and will become useless after judgment day.

Anything can be said as eternal only when it remains with all its properties till eternity. So, guiding people, being the property of Quran should always be there till eternity. For being so, people to be guided should always be there till eternity. And this verse to become applicable till eternity, there should be no end of this process of life-death-life-death…..

Putting this in simple words, if heaven and hell are eternal, Quran can’t be eternal because this verse cannot be applied on those sitting in everlasting heaven or hell!

Think not of those who are slain in Allah’s way as dead. Nay, they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord.
[Quran 3:169]

Agniveer
Yet another verse, which claims rebirth, leaving no confusion whatsoever

It is We Who created them, and We have made their joints strong; but, when We will, We can substitute the like of them by a complete change.
[Quran 76:28]

Agniveer

Tafsir e Husaini while describing this verse says-“Means that Allah can transform one in better or worse state from now or He may keep same as now”.

The likeness of the life of the present is as the rain which We send down from the skies.
[Quran 10:24]

Set forth to them the similitude of the life of this world: It is like the rain which we send down from the skies: the earth’s vegetation absorbs it, but soon it becomes dry stubble, which the winds do scatter: it is [only] Allah who prevails over all things.
[Quran 18:45]

Agniveer
These verses may not look relevant in the first sight but when looked closely, they present beautiful combination of science and philosophy of rebirth. Everyone knows that water is not created in the skies but it moves in a cycle of vaporisation and condensation. It goes from down to up and up to down. It is mentioned in the verse that when water is no longer there, vegetation gets dried, it means the death. But does water vanish really? No, rather it again goes up and comes down in the next cycle. So, life, being similitude of water, is also in a cycle of birth and death

If someone says that life and death are not cyclic then this verse has to be false as well as non scientific. It will be false because of claiming similarity between water and life and non scientific because of assuming water to be created in the skies instead of remaining in the cycle.

Didst thou not Turn by vision to those who abandoned their homes, though they were thousands [In number], for fear of death? Allah said to them: “Die”: Then He restored them to life. For Allah is full of bounty to mankind, but Most of them are ungrateful.
[Quran 2:243]

Then We raised you up after your death: Ye had the chance to be grateful.
[Quran 2:56]

Agniveer
Both verses talk about rebirth clearly.

It is Allah Who causeth the seed-grain and the date-stone to split and sprout. He causeth the living to issue from the dead, and He is the one to cause the dead to issue from the living. That is Allah: then how are ye deluded away from the truth?
[Quran 6:95]

And who is it that brings out the living from the dead and the dead from the living?
[Quran 10:31]

It is He Who brings out the living from the dead, and brings out the dead from the living, and Who gives life to the earth after it is dead: and thus shall ye be brought out [from the dead].
[Quran 30:19]

“Thou causest the night to gain on the day, and thou causest the day to gain on the night; Thou bringest the Living out of the dead, and Thou bringest the dead out of the Living; and Thou givest sustenance to whom Thou pleasest, without measure.”
[Quran 3:27]

Agniveer
Verses are clear in stating that life and death are cyclic and occur one after another just like day and night.

Some Muslim friends argue that bringing living out of dead and dead out of living mean “living baby from the dead semen” and “dead semen from the living male”. But it cannot be the meaning at all. There is a huge difference between “non living” and dead. Dead implies for someone who possessed life in past but not now, whereas non living is something which has nothing to do with life or death because it had no potential to become alive anytime. For example, pan, paper, fan, etc are never called as dead; rather they are called as non living. So, semen should be called as non living rather than dead. So, it is proved that “dead” the above verses refer to someone who possessed life and again it will be alive. This is what rebirth is!

Has not He, [the same], the power to give life to the dead?
[Quran 75:40]

Agniveer
O my beloved Allah! We know you have the power, but our Muslim brothers and sisters don’t believe! I know you have power to convince them as well, hope You will do it!

The Prophet said: …I would love to be martyred in Allah’s Cause and then get resurrected and then get martyred, and then get resurrected again and then get martyred and then get resurrected again and then get martyred…
[Bukhari 4.54]

Agniveer
In the end, we would say that could Prophet, who was an ideal person and a role model for his country, a chosen one by Allah, think anything opposite to Allah’s will? If concept of rebirth is anti Islamic and against Allah’s will, could Muhammad wish to get life again and again? Answer is no.

The implications of this is obvious – in reality Muhammad believed in concept of rebirth.

However, after he died, and perhaps even during his lifetime, many spurious verses were added to original Quran to further the designs of his politically motivated companions who were bent on killing each other.

Just think that had this modern Quran been indeed foolproof and final authentic version revealed to Muhammad, was Allah incapable enough to not ensure that the Quran was preserved in written and documented format in Muhammad’s lifetime itself? Why did Allah allow in Lohe Mahfooz to have verses in Hadiths which talk of goat eating some verses of Quran? Why did Allah leave the task of documenting Quran on Muhammad;s followers after his death? And why were they fighting each other if Quran was supposed to preach only peace? Why did Allah kill the Caliph who is said to have compiled modern Quran? In brief, if modern Quran is considered final and foolproof, it would be derogatory to intents of Allah. But yes, Quran does indeed contain many verses of Muhammad and they unambiguously show that he wanted to propagate the concept of rebirth.

We accept that there are many verses in Quran which talk about just one life here and a permanent heaven and hell hereafter. But current Quran is not the same as Muhammad dictated to his Sahabas (companions). It has undergone many interpolations by the so called followers of Muhammad to fulfil their own agenda of ruling the world by hook or by crook. Muhammad always believed in rebirth, which is evident from his wish to get many lives one after another.

Even someone like Zakir Naik also knows this very well. He was asked once whether Heaven and Hell are eternal? He replied that only Allah is eternal and Heaven/Hell will come to end one day. Which clearly means that the cycle will be repeated after that if Allah is just and kind.

We request every Muslim brother and sister to reject biased and unscientific adulterations of modern Quran and come back to the original Quran of Muhammad which guides us to follow only the Vedas, the true knowledge, which is the root of every rational concept of every religion.

Vedas clearly believe in rebirth.

Contrary to mischievous propaganda, Vedas have their foundations in the theory of rebirth. Almost all mantras of Vedas implicitly assume that rebirth happens across various species and situations as per Karma or actions of the soul. The sanskaras or tendencies of mind of the soul is carried from one birth to another and thus, despite we not remembering details of past lives we still continue our progress from the same point where we left past life. This is like we are not remembering when we last sang a tune but can easily do it when situations come. More details, read my book “Essential lessons from Vedas.”

We provide some mantras from Vedas that specifically talk of rebirth:

Rigveda 10.59.6-7
O Blissful Ishwar, Please provide us again healthy eyes and other sense organs in next birth. Please provide us powerful vitality, mind, intellect, valor again and again in next births. We achieve bliss in this life and future lives. May we keep looking up to your glory always. Keep us in peace with your blessings.

O Ishwar, you provide us space, earth, and other elements again and again so that our sense organs function. You provide us the ability to have good health and enjoy life in every birth. You make us strong again and again in various births.

Yajurveda 4.15
Whenever we take birth, may our deeds be such that we get a pure mind, long life, good health, vitality, intellect, strong sense organs and a powerful body. In next life also, keep us away from bad deeds and indulge us in noble actions.

Atharvaveda 7.67.1
May we get a healthy sense and work organs in next life as well. May I am full of vitality. May I have spiritual wealth and knowledge of Ishwar and Vedic concepts again and again. May we be selfless for the welfare of world in next lives again and again. May our deeds be noble so that we get a human life and always get purity of mind and actions so that we can worship you and achieve salvation.

Atharvaveda 5.1.2
One who conducts noble actions obtains noble lives in next births with a strong body and sharp intellect. Those who conduct bad deeds get birth in lower species. To experience the fruits of past actions is a natural trait of soul. After death, the soul resides in Vayu, Jala, Aushadhi, etc and again enters the womb to take next birth.

Yajurveda 19.47
There are two paths for the soul. One path Pitriyan provides birth again and again through the union of father and mother, good and bad deeds, happiness and sorrow. The other path of Devayana frees the soul from the cycle of birth and death and provides bliss of salvation. The whole world reverberates with both these paths. And after both, the soul again takes birth as the progeny of father and mother.

Rigveda 1.24.1-2
Question: Whom do we consider the most pure? Who is the most enlightened one in the entire world? Who provides us mother and father again in the world after gifting us ultimate bliss or Mukti?

Answer: The self-enlightening, eternal, ever-free Ishwar alone is most pure. He alone provides us mother and father again in the world after gifting us ultimate bliss or Mukti.

Hence, it is amply clear that those who claim that Vedas have no concept of rebirth are either fooling themselves or the world.

Quran is not available in an original form, and it is impossible to find original Quran composed by Muhammad.

Quran has been subject to tremendous distortions due to infighting between relatives and followers of Muhammad during his last days and after his death.

Some sects believe that original Quran has 17000 verses which is very close to a number of unique verses in Vedas. In fact, there is no instruction in Quran to call this book Quran alone. Several other names also come which include names used to denote Vedas, Old, and New Testament! It is more plausible than the contemporary belief that Quran actually refers to Vedas as Divine or Heavenly Books. Because many poets before Muhammad also used to praise Vedas. We shall review this in a subsequent article. Also unlike Vedas, there is no logical method devised to protect Quran from distortions. It only relies on memory of those people who escaped being killed by Caliph for reciting a version of Quran that was not acceptable to him.
Vedas are unchangeable and available in the same old pristine format.

In lines with the mathematical genius of ancient Hindus, Vedas have been preserved in a mathematically robust technique to preclude the possibility of distortion of even a single syllable. Even if someone tries to publicize a distorted Veda, that can easily be tracked and rectified. No other book on earth can claim to have such sound methods of protection from times beyond known history. There has never been a time when literature claims that Vedas were being written. The oldest texts of the world with more than 20000 verses is still available in the same unadulterated format as it was originally gifted by Ishwar during the inception of civilization. To know details of this, read the book “Vedas – Myths and Reality.”

Contemporary Islamic philosophy is full of logical loopholes while Vedas are without such loopholes.
Further, Vedas do not force anyone to mug up Vedas but approach Vedas only in a rational scientific manner in sync with one’s spiritual development. After all, there is no scope for anyone trying to fool God by believing blindly in Vedas and saying Tauba or Sorry like in Islam or Christianity. This is because Vedas rightly are based on the foundation that human ignorance cannot be removed all together in one single life and demands rebirth. While Vedas answer all riddles in life and allow the scope to each soul to understand at their own pace, religions like Islam and Christianity, with their insistence on single life, have blatant loopholes in their philosophy. For a snippet, read my book “Test Of Fanatic Ideology.”

While Vedas even accommodate refusal to accept Vedas as divine to progress further, Islamic fanaticism condemns all non-believers, how so much noble, to Hell fire forever.

In light of above indisputable facts, any true seeker of Allah should take recourse to Vedas alone. Times of India should, instead of trying to promote blind faith, extol Muslims to embrace Vedas and concepts of rebirth and One Allah (and no Prophet) to spread peace and harmony instead of wishes of Hell for non-believers.

We must explore how we can join hands the way we were joined as one single family before butchers like Muhammad Bin Qasim, Khiljis, Ghazni, Ghauri, Tughlaqs, Lodhis, Babur, Humayun, Shershah, Akbar, Jahangir, Shahjahan, Aurangzeb and other impotent Mughals, Tipu Sultans, Nadir Shahs, Durranis etc raped our mothers and killed our fathers to create towers of cut-heads to make us leave the Dharma of our forefathers. The remaining gap was fulfilled by anti-national Sufis who fooled people and sided with enemies of the country. And yes, the foolish caste-system that disallowed our Muslim brothers and sisters from coming back home was the last nail in the coffin.
However, we have now removed that nail and are in the mission of bringing our lost brothers back to the glory of our original ancestral home by welcoming them back. We are in this mission not out of any false illusion of a paradise of virgins, nor any petty gains here. We are in this mission to build the bridge to home once again and make the nation and world prosper. We are in this mission to rewrite those painful chapters of history where we forgot the message of Vedas and allowed ourselves to be tortured by our self-created destiny. Yes, we all were an accomplice in this tragedy – those who left home, those who did not call them back, those who fought for the butchers and those who did not support the Shivajis and Prataps. But now is the time to learn from the mistakes and make Bharat the golden lion once again!

And we are into this mission with utmost truthfulness and honesty because they alone are escalators to ultimate bliss – for self and the world!

Conclusion

To conclude, we reproduce an except from Arya Musafir’s amazing poem:

आ फिर से गले मिल के पुरखों को दिखा दें
दो भाई मिलें फिर ये माता को दिखा दें
हाथों में हाथ डाल के फिर से वो ही मस्ती
दुनिया को भी थोड़ा सा रुला दें औ हंसा दे

Akbar the Great

267

Very chosen few legends in Indian history had the privilege of being honored with the suffix ‘the Great’ or ‘Mahaan’ after their names. I recall only three – Alexander, Ashoka, and Akbar. This great title does not come easily. Indeed, one has to display exemplary greatness to be called ‘great.’ This great land has produced one legend after another – Ram, Krishna, Vikramaditya, Prithviraj, Rana Pratap, Shivaji – to name a few. But none qualified to be called ‘the Great’ by our noble historians.

This is because the criteria for being called ‘the Great’ are very tough. You have to be simply the best killer for times to come to be called ‘the Great.’ And you must be a basher of mainstream Hinduism in some way or the other.

Alexander was the first such terrorist who killed innumerable to quench his thirst for global conquest. He got a nasty defeat at the hands of Porus and went back shamefully after having his life spared. But our glorious historians, who seem to take more passion as poets and creative writers, consider this to be the defeat of Porus. Incidentally, Greek historians are more candid to admit this defeat of Alexander! But that is beside the point. The fact remains that since he attacked and killed innumerable people, he is ‘Great’!

Next was Ashoka, who got a sudden remorse after conducting the greatest bloodshed of his era. Once again, a favourite of our creative historians who even made a film out of his romantic affairs with one of his innumerable wives. But the bottom line is that since he broke all records of bloodshed even before the remorse and drifted away from mainstream Hinduism, he earned the title of ‘the Great’!

And after him, for centuries, no one could repeat that feat. But then, came the era of barbaric looters from West Asia who broke all records of terrorism carrying the flag of ‘Islam’, thereby, making a mockery of Muhammad’s claim as Prophet of Peace! For centuries, there was a dispute with regards to who should get the coveted title of ‘the Great’. And then came the great Mughal, the noble descendant of Timur and Genghis Khan from father and mother sides respectively.

Mughals carried the glorious lineage of the greatest rapist, looter, murderer, and homosexual child molester – the noble Babur – who has the rare honor of being on the cover page of history books for school students in India. Akbar, his grandson, surpassed all imaginations of barbarism and terrorism to earn the coveted ‘the Great’! And no one, not even Osama Bin Laden has been able to repeat that feat since then.

We are ashamed of the ‘eminent’ historians who have referred to the most unreliable sources to portray the greatest butchers as greatest legends for the sake of secularism.

With such traitors who needs enemies? This great nation has produced greatest of Tejasvi patriots but also traitors. And these days, traitors seem to be predominating. History seems to be an area almost totally infested with traitors. Second comes ‘Art, Culture & Entertainment’. Or are the both same?

In this chapter, we shall provide summary points from Akbar’s life to understand what motivated Bollywood “star” to feel so honored to portray his noble character and our spineless populace to be so enchanted with the fictitious Jodha-Akbar stories. Our assertions are not on works of any ‘rightist’ historian (being right is always considered wrong in secular history!). But they are based on the works of greatest admirers of Akbar: Vincent Smith, whose ‘Akbar – the Great Mogul’ is considered the most authoritative book on Akbar, and of course, Abul Fazl – the sycophant who wrote Ain-e-Akbari and Akbarnama. All that we would do is to review what even the sycophants could not hide.

Foundations of Akbar the Great

Vincent Smith starts his book with “Akbar was a foreigner in India. He had not a drop of Indian blood in his veins…Akbar was more of a Turk than Mogul.” And we Indians proclaim him as an out-and-out Indian. His father, grandfather and in fact entire lineage represented the topmost terrorists of their eras (7th generation of Timur from the father and Genghis Khan from the mother) whose sole goal was to loot and plunder. And we claim him to be the pride of India!

Beauty and Noble Habits of Akbar the Great

Babur was a drunkard. Humayun became dumb due to the use of opium. Akbar imbibed both these ‘great’ qualities. Two children of Akbar died due to excessive consumption of narcotics. And we have Muslims taking pride in him!

Bollywood star was excited to play the role of Akbar in the movie Jodha-Akbar. Historians call Akbar the most handsome person on earth. But here is his beauty as per Vincent Smith:

“Akbar was of average height and walked with a limp in the left leg. His head was tilted on the right shoulder. His nose was small with protruding bone. His nostrils looked as if he is in anger. A wart of the size of half a pea joined his lip to the nostril. He was dark.”

Jahangir writes that “Akbar used to call him Shekh regardless of he being intoxicated or alert. It implies that Akbar was usually intoxicated.”

Akbar’s courtier Aquaviva writes that “Akbar had started drinking so much that he used to fall asleep talking to guests. He used to drink Taadi sometimes and Post other times. He used to start behaving like insane when drunk beyond the limit.”

Education of Akbar the Great

Jahangir writes that “Akbar used to behave as if he was a scholar despite the fact that he could not read or write.”

Respect for women in Akbar the Great

Abul Fazl states that “Akbar remained behind the ‘curtain’ (purdah) in his initial years as a king.” It is obvious what is meant by this.

Abul Fazl describes Harem of Akbar: “It had 5000 women, and each woman had a separate home.” This is apart from more than 36 wives that he had.

To describe the glory of his prince charming, Abul Fazl writes in Ain-e-Akbari:

“Close to the home of Shahanshah Akbar, a bar has been set up. So many prostitutes aggregated there that it became difficult to keep a count. Courtiers used to take the dancers home. But if someone wanted to take home a virgin, he had to take permission from Akbar. Sometimes violence would happen among youth. Once Akbar himself called several prostitutes and asked who broke their virginity.”

Now how could so many prostitutes aggregate at the same time? Obviously, they were women from Hindu families who were made captive or rendered homeless after their families were looted and butchered on an ongoing basis. Because Muslim women are supposed to be behind the veil and Akbar was constantly at war killing men and abducting women throughout his glorious career.

In Akbarnama, Abul Fazl writes: “Whenever a Beghum or wives of courtiers or virgins wanted to be enjoyed, they were supposed to send an application to Harem in-charge. Then their application would reach the palace authorities. After that, they were allowed to enter and stay in Harem for up to even one month.”

It’s obvious that even wives of his courtiers were forced to be enjoyed by Jodha’s adorable Akbar for up to a month! Note that we are referring to works of his own sycophant and not any detractor.

The first condition in the treaty of Ranathambhor was that Rajputs should dispatch Dolis of women to Royal Harem in return of freeing of soldiers. No wonder, why Jauhar and death were so preferred by those upholding virtues of self-dignity.

Akbar had his mentor Bairam Khan killed, and then he married his wife who became his favourite queen. Historians claim that Bairam Khan was curiously attacked by a group of old enemies on his way to Mecca after he was forced to go there due to differences with Akbar.

Akbar used to distribute his sex-slaves among his courtiers. Thus, women were nothing but inert objects of pleasure in a gang of Akbar and his notorious courtiers.

Meena Bazar of Akbar’s era was famed where on New Year Eve, women from different families were coaxed, duped or forced to be displayed in front of Jahanpanah for his choice.

The Kind hearted Akbar the Great

Considered to be the most benevolent ruler to have ruled India, Akbar displayed his first symptom of kindness in lines of his forefathers and progeny when he was merely 14 years old. On 6 November 1556, he was in war with Hemu in the battle of Panipat. The Mughal forces were facing huge defeat when Hemu was suddenly hit by an arrow in his eye. He became unconscious, and his soldiers scattered away assuming defeat. The unconscious Hemu was brought in front of our “kind” Akbar. Bairam Khan ordered Akbar to slay him so that he earns the title of ‘Ghazi.’ (Ghazi is the most noble title for a fanatic Muslim that he gets only after he has murdered a Kafir/non-believer in holy war – Jihad. He is supposed to get the highest quality Paradise with the most beautiful virgins.)

Thus, to please Allah and offer his gratitude to the icon of peace – Muhammad – Akbar cut the neck of his unconscious victim. His ranks followed the suit and butchered the corpse of Hemu. The head of Hemu was sent to Kabul, and his body was hanged on Delhi gate for a public demo of Akbar’s kindness.

Immediately after that, his army marched to Delhi. Then a pillar of cut heads was erected by Akbar as per his age-old altruistic family traditions to celebrate the victory.

To put an appropriate climax to the holy mission, the helpless old father of Hemu was also butchered. Needless to say, what happened with women. Akbar already had plans of a mega-capacity Harem!

As reported by Abul Fazl, to counter the rebellion of Khan Zaman, his loyal Mohammad Mirak was handcuffed and brought in front of an elephant. The elephant took him in his trunk and threw away. This process happened for five continuous days after which he was executed. Abul Fazl describes this with pride without a word of condemnation.

After capturing Chittor, Akbar ordered a massacre in which 30,000 people (non-combatant women, children and men) were butchered.

Akbar innovated with new ways of killing and torture. Muzaffar Shah was trampled by an elephant. Humzaban’s tongue was cut-off. Masud Hussain Mirza’s eyes were sewed close. His 300 supporters were brought in front of him after putting hides of donkeys, sheep and dogs over their faces and then butchered. Smith lists more ways like hanging, cutting heads, cutting organs of the body, caning. There used to be no written records of such decisions and judges used to simply follow the ‘peaceful’ verses of Quran.

On 2nd September 1573, he had a pillar of more than 2000 cut-heads erected in Ahmedabad. This perhaps broke the record of the highest pillar of cut heads to be erected ever. (The Earlier record was held by his grandfather Babur.)

As per Akbarnama, when Dawud Khan of Bengal was defeated, enough heads were cut to erect eight tall pillars. This set a new record. When Dawud Khan in dying stage asked for water, he was given water in shoes.

The upright Akbar the Great

In Thaneshwar, there was a dispute over ownership of the place of worship between two sects Kuru and Puri. Akbar ordered that they should fight, and the victorious shall have the claim. The foolish sectarians fought with weapons to kill each other. When Puri group started dominating, Akbar ordered his soldiers to join ranks with Kuru group. Finally, both the groups were killed by his soldiers. Akbar then had a great laugh.

During the battle of Haldighati, Akbar ensured Rajputs fought against Rajputs. Badayuni asked Akbar’s general during an intense war that how would he segregate Pratap’s men from theirs. He was replied that this is unnecessary because in either case, Rajputs will die and Islam will be benefited.

Col Todd recounts that Akbar had the idol of Eklinga destroyed and put the platform to offer Namaz. What could be a greater example of religious tolerance?

Once Akbar woke up early in the afternoon and saw a servant sleeping near his bed. He was angered by this and had him thrown away from the top of a tower.

In August of 1600, Akbar’s army surrounded the Asirgarh fort, but both sides were in a stalemate. As per Smith, Akbar thought of a ‘noble’ idea to break the jinx. He invited Miran Bahadur – the king for negotiations and swore by his own head that he would be safely allowed to return back. Thus, Miran came out with a scarf of peace and submission. Miran bowed to Akbar thrice but was suddenly pushed to the ground to offer complete Sijdah or bow flat to Akbar. Akbar was accustomed to having only Sijdah performed for him by the world.

Miran was then captured and forced to order his general to surrender. The general refused to comply and sent his son to discuss with Akbar why he broke his word. The young son was asked by Akbar whether his father was eager to surrender. The youth replied that his father would not surrender and even if the king is killed, they would have another successor made the king. Hearing this, Akbar ordered butchering of the youth. Eventually, through more of deceit and fraud, Akbar was able to win the fort.

Note that this is just five years before his death showcasing that even possible argument of change of his heart sometime in his life is an infeasible hypothesis.

Similarly, in the lust of power and dominance, he fought with the noble Rani Durgavati of Bundelkhand and butchered the people there.

Akbar the Great vs Maharana Pratap

Historians, who bootlick Akbar fail to explain how and why both Maharana and Akbar could be great persons at the same time when they were most bitter enemies?

Even Smith agrees that there was no valid reason Akbar attacked Chittod except lust for conquest. Maharana was fighting for his nation and went to the extent of uniting as many Rajputs as possible to stop having a treaty or gifting their girls to foreign invaders. Akbar was a self-obsessed terrorist bent on conquering as much and far as he could.

Nowadays intellectuals inspired by traitor genes have started shouting that legends like Pratap and Shivaji were fighting for their own petty territories, and butchers like Akbar and Aurangzeb were working for the unification of the country! However, the truth is that in that dark age of rampant butchering, rapes and impotency of several prominent warriors, legends like Shivaji and Pratap kept the flag of saffron (symbol of nationalism and not dogmatism as wrongly projected) high. They ensured that the tyranny of these criminals is never absolute and soon heads for decay.

Akbar and Islam

Muslims are fooled to believe that Akbar represented the goodness of Islam. But in lines of his terrorist forefathers, there was nothing Islamic about this butcher apart from using Islam for his own political gains.

For example, he was a drunkard, drug addict and had more than three dozen wives – all these blatantly defy the most basic Islamic norms.

Akbar started a new propaganda that he himself was divine. He forced people to greet each other by Allah-o-Akbar. Ignorant Muslims believe that he was glorifying Allah while he wanted to claim that Akbar is Allah! Allah-o-Akbar has never been used as greeting in Islam. He used to present himself as the omniscient as per Abul Fazl.

Akbar started his own faith – Deen-e-Ilahi – which basically aimed at glorifying him and his stupidly vague ideologies. No wonder his sycophants accepted it gracefully, but this divinity of an illiterate died with his death.

The reason Akbar has been glorified is pretty obvious. Since he made a mockery of both Hinduism and Islam in his self-obsession, none was better suited to be put to high echelons of glory by those willing to inject Biblical order. In fact, Akbar was among the politically smart ones of Muslim rulers who played Hindu, Muslim, and even Christian card to have him proclaimed as the divine one.

Akbar was very smart in his language. Vincent Smith admires that despite his ornamental language, the level of brutalities he has shown in life is most contrasting. Perfect traits for a self-proclaimed prophet!

Akbar even had this propagated that he is divinely gifted to provide healing powers to the water that is used to clean his feet. This was in lines of some of the Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim Hadiths regarding a similar claim for Muhammad. Thus, people were encouraged to make queues to obtain his dirty water. However, to keep Islam on his ‘right’ side, he ensured that only foolish Hindus are allowed to do so. His courtiers had to drink his used water to keep him pleased.

Illiterate women would put their children at his feet, and he would pretend as a Fakir to bless them. In fact, these antics were the genesis of his proclamation of a new religion.

Akbar the Great and Jazia tax

Islamic Shariat has the glorious practice of collecting Jazia tax from non-Muslims to offer them protection from loot, rape, and murder in an Islamic state from Muslims. Akbar is stated to have abolished this Jazia. However, there is no single evidence of this. This concession was offered only to Ranthambhor as part of the pact where they would be gifting their women in Akbar’s harem instead!

It is true that people used to keep requesting Akbar of repealing Jazia. And he might have offered exceptions to select few for political reasons, but never dare he abolish it to ensure that Islam is also on his ‘right’ side.

Akbar and his great son

There has been a largely unbroken tradition of son rebelling against father among the Muslim rulers in India. Babur was fed up of Humayun and Akbar was fed up of Jahangir, who was fed up with Shahjahan, who was fed up with Aurangzeb. Jahangir alias Salim claimed himself to be the ruler in 1602 and had his own court in Allahabad.
Incidentally, Prayagraj was renamed Allahabad by Akbar a few years ago as part of his Jihadi campaign to trample Hindus and fool Muslims.

Jahangir prayed for his father’s death and even started his own coinage system. Smith says that had Jahangir’s rebellion become successful, he would have definitely killed Akbar. He missed the golden opportunity to kill his father which was fulfilled by his grandson Aurangzeb in times to come. However, some historians believe that it was Jahangir who poisoned Akbar to death.

Great Akbar and the fate of people he doubted

Akbar had appointed one person solely for giving poison to those whom Akbar disliked. Some historians state that Akbar died of eating the same by mistake.

Akbar had a whole line of his own trusted and less trusted people killed in suspicious manners: Bairam Khan, Zaman, Aasaf Khan (His finance minister), Shah Mansur, Mansingh, Son of Kamran, Makhdume Mulk, Shekh Abdurnabi, Fargundi, Muizul Mulk, Hazi Ibrahim, and all those Mullahs whom he disliked. This list has been given in Smith’s book. And then Jaimal whose wife he captured for his harem after killing him and then propagated that he saved her when she was committing Sati!

The charity-lover Akbar

In Akbar’s rule, the property of the dead used to be confiscated by the Badshah and the family had no rights over it. At times, he may allow the family to start some new business to showcase his kindness!

When his mother died a year before he himself finally lightened the weight on earth, he confiscated her entire property despite her will that her property may be distributed among the entire family.

Akbar and his Nava-Ratna (9 Gems)

In lines with famed stories of Vikramaditya, fiction regarding highly competent Nava Ratna courtiers of Akbar has been created. However, the fact remains that Akbar considered his courtiers completely idiot. He stated that he is thankful to God that he did not get a deserving courtier or else people would think that he works through their brains and not his own intellect.

Much hyped Todarmal used to be his collection agent. The modus operandi was simple – either pay or get whipped and sell wife and children.

Abul Fazl was sycophant number one who wrote incredible fictions praising Akbar to win his favour. Jahangir ultimately murdered him.

Faizi was an ordinary poet who learned the art of keeping his Maalik pleased through sycophancy. Many historians claim that he was the best poet in India in his times. All I can say is that the level of poets in court of Akbar must have been extremely poor standard in lines with his own education level and preoccupations.

Birbal died in the most ignominious manner in a battle. The Birbal-Akbar jokes are a work of fiction in his false name. We find similar tales in South India in the name of Tenalirama.

Abul Fazl murdered Shah Mansur under instructions of Akbar himself.

Man Singh is among the greatest traitors that nation ever produced. His family was forced to give his paternal aunt to Akbar’s Harem and then his sister to Jahangir’s. As per some historians, Akbar decided to poison Man Singh, and Bhagwan Das (father of Man Singh) committed suicide.

And of course, apart from drinking his used water (from cleaning of legs), courtiers of Akbar had to gift their women, children and family members to Akbar to continue having his blessing!

Todarmal managed Akbar’s finances in a most brutal manner to have his blessings. However, the idols that Todarmal used to worship were also destroyed by Akbar. This made Todarmal upset, and he resigned to seek Varanasi!

Akbar and love for slaves

Akbar gifted a family of Russian to the Christian Priest Akvaveeva as a parting gift. This shows that he used to keep slaves from various international locations.

In Kandahar, Akbar had converted a large number of people into slaves because they opposed some new policies in 1581-82. Later horses were bought by selling them.

When the royal cavalcade would travel, the women in his harem would be put in golden prisons like animals.

Needless to say, as per holy Islamic traditions, prisoners of wars were considered as slaves.

Akbar devised a new innovation to create slaves. His henchmen would put a flower on the head of any horse that they would find. Now the owner of the horse had a Hobson’s choice – either to forget the horse and let go of the sole source of travel and mobility in those days when the nation was worse than Somalia’s capital, or accept financial slavery of Akbar.

Miscellaneous

When Akbar died, he had more than 20 million Sterling only in Agra fort. Similar amounts would have been there in other six cities. However, he did not spend a pie to help the country during the worst famine of 1595-1599. Obviously, it can be expected what he would have contributed during earlier famines of 1573-74 and 1583-84.

Akbar had butchered the entire population living on banks of Prayagraj (renamed Allahabad by the butcher) and demolished all structures because the people hid inside their homes when he conquered the city. That is why we find no old buildings in Prayagraj banks today.

It is a myth without any credible evidence that Akbar built Fatehpur Sikri. In lines with other fraud rulers claiming allegiance to Islam, he simply captured it and claimed ownership. Later the same ploy was adopted by his grandson, the terrorist called Shahjahan who is claimed to have built a Taj Mahal in memory of his fourth wife!

Conclusion

A country that prides in worshipping such criminals is bound to be destroyed. Panchatantra aptly says that where the undeserving ones are worshipped, and the deserving ones are sidelined, three threats always loom – death, anarchy, and fear.

It is high time we Indians started breaking all idols of these false heroes from every corner of our hearts and country and started showering our due respect to innumerable true heroes whose names also we do not remember today. Hindus should work to bring society to a level where even the names of these barbaric looters are not remembered. And Muslims should jettison these terrorists into garbage who have been nothing except shameless mockery in the name of Islam.

We hope this true history would teach us important lessons by bringing us closer to our original roots disregarding the villains of the interim period, and teach us why rogues should be dealt with in a most firm manner without leaving any scope for future nuisance. We should learn why worshipping false heroes would lead only to worsened status and compromise in matters of dignity and truth would only lead to mass level impotency.

Muslims should remember that their ancestors had suffered tremendous ignominy and tortures and then were forcefully converted to Islam by these terrorists whose only trip in life was to erect pillars of cut heads and rape women wherever they went.

We hope that right-minded Muslim brothers and sisters would be motivated to reject these humiliations of the intermediate period and join back the original roots of their Vedic foundations. And may my country and countrymen get their potency back. This is a must for true spiritualism.

Note:
Millions of dollars have been collected and spent to create fictions to glorify rascals like Akbar, Jahangir, Shahjahan, Alexander, Tipu Sultan through bollywood trash, novels, poems, ghazals etc and our traitors countrymen – read actors, actresses, producers, directors, writers, singers, politicians, historians, intellectuals etc – take tremendous pride in this shameless act. And on other side, we hardly see any focus being put to glorify the true legends of our great nation like Maharana Pratap, Chhatrapati Shivaji, Guru Govind Singh, Chhatrasaal, Gaj Singh, Durga Das, Rana Sanga, Rana Kumbha etc. If you do a google search, you find hundreds of sources, videos etc on the rascals but hardly a few on these greatest role models. The situation is really most humiliating. However, Agniveer offers humble homage to one true hero here:

Disclaimer

This post is based on the translations and commentaries of Islamic texts like Quran, Hadiths etc. as published by all major Islamic publishing sources. These are the publicly available translations that are used for promotion of Islam by prominent representatives. It also borrows for books on history, most of which are in public-domain.

We believe that most religious texts have been wrongly translated, misinterpreted, misquoted or even have been tampered with and interpolated to suit the selfish designs of proponents of Islam after Muhammad. Thus, we believe that original Islam and original Quran of Muhammad are totally different from what have been propagated by some of his fanatic followers in name of Islam. There are few minority groups in Muslims whose scholars subscribe to our views and interpret/translate Islamic texts differently. Some even refuse to consider the available Quran and Hadiths as authentic. But these scholars themselves are considered Kafirs and are condemned by many dominant elite of Islam. Thus, when we refer to Islam, we actually imply these dominant elites of Islam and not Muslims or all Islamic scholars in general.

Wherever we critically evaluate Muhammad, we imply the fictitious Muhammad propagated by these false texts or their wrong translations and not the original Muhammad. We have high regard for original Muhammad who stood for non-violence and tolerance. Similarly, when we analyze Islamic texts, we refer to these questionable translations/versions and NOT original texts.

Further, we have a sense of the highest level of brotherhood for Muslims in general. Wherever we use the word Muslim in a critical manner, it refers to false intolerant representatives of Islam and not Muslims in general. Readers are requested to keep this in mind to understand the correct perspective of the post.

Nowhere should they assume the words like Islam, Quran, Prophet etc. to be referring to original noble entities, unless it has been referred in a positive light. We restrict ourselves only to notions prevalent in minds of fanatics and those without reason.

Sword of Tipu Sultan

In this chapter, we present one more hoax of mytho-secularism – regarding the sword of Tipu Sultan. Thanks to our history textbooks and the famous Sanjay Khan’s serial “Sword of Tipu Sultan”, marketing of Mysore Palace as Tipu’s Marvel and other gimmicks, one of the most brutal, perverted fanatic terrorists who would put any Osama Bin Laden to shame is portrayed as a hero of Indian history!

Let us explore the real history, however, and discover the true character of this terrorist. We hope this would help both those influenced by the false glorification of villains, as well as those being helplessly passive to stand up and work towards building a foundation of a truthful, just Bharat and in the process, establish true secularism.

Tipu himself left behind personal accounts of his atrocities against the Hindus. These details can be found in two biographies:

• Sultan-ut Tawarikh and
• Tarikh-i-Khudadadi, housed in the India Office Library, London.

Noted historian KM Panicker chanced upon Tipu’s correspondence at the India Office Library. These have since been published. Take a letter (March 22, 1788) written to Abdul Khadar: “Over 12,000 Hindus were honored with Islam. Local Hindus should be brought before you and then converted to Islam. No Namboodri should be spared.”

In a letter (December 14, 1788), he said to his army commander in Calicut: “You should capture and kill all Hindus. Those below 20 years may be kept in prison, and 5,000 from the rest should be killed hanging from treetops”.

Writing on January 19, 1790, to Badroos Saman Khan, he said: “I have achieved a great victory recently in Malabar, and over four lakh Hindus were converted to Islam. I am now determined to march against the cursed Raman Nair.”

Tipu issued orders in different parts of Malabar: “All means, truth or falsehood, fraud or force, should be employed to affect their (Hindu) universal conversion to Islam” (Historical Sketches of the South of India in an attempt to trace the History of Mysore, Mark Wilks Vol II, page 120).

Tipu corresponded with Zaman Shah, grandson of Ahmad Shah Abdali and ruler of Afghanistan before the Third Mysore War (1792) and continued to do so till 1798. These letters were translated by Kabir Kausar in The History of Tipu Sultan. In one place, he wrote: “My exalted ambition has for its object a holy war … In the midst of this land the Almighty protects this trace of Muhammadan dominion like the Ark of Noah and cuts short the extended arm of the abandoned infidel”.

In a letter dated February 5, 1797: “We should unite in carrying on a holy war against the enemies of our religion…. Thine armies shall … render us victorious.”

What Fra Bartolomaco, a Portuguese traveller, and historian, saw in Malabar in 1790, he recorded in Voyage to East Indies: “Most of the men and women were hanged in Calicut … That barbarian Tipu Sultan tied naked Christians and Hindus to the legs of elephants … till the bodies … were torn to prices. Temples and churches were ordered to be burnt down, desecrated and destroyed … I myself helped many victims to cross the Varappuzha river” (pages 141-142).

The sword of Tipu Sultan carried an inscription in Persian: “My victorious Sabre is lightening for the destruction of the unbelievers. Thou art our Lord, make him victorious who promotes the faith of Muhammad. Confound him, who refuses the faith of Muhammad and withhold us from those who are so inclined” (History of Mysore, CH Rao, Vol III, p 1073).

The Mysore Gazetteer also provides details about Tipu’s destruction of over 800 temples in South India. Who should we believe – Mr. Nadwi or what Tipu Sultan’s own accounts and other contemporary records?

Introduction

Tipu Sultan had, ruled his kingdom only for sixteen-and-a-half years, from December 7, 1782 to May 4, 1799. The territory of Malabar was under his effective control only for a short period of eight years. If he had not secured the assistance of the wily Purnaiyya, there would not have been so many Muhammadans in the states of Kerala and Karnataka. Hindus also would not have become less prosperous, and fewer in number.

When that Hindu Prime Minister, Purnaiyya, presented to Tipu Sultan 90,000 soldiers, three crore rupees, and invaluable ornaments made of precious stones, he was tempted to rule as the Emperor of the South India. Tipu did not consider the Hindu rulers of Maharashtra, Coorg, and Travancore or the Muslim ruler Nizam as impediments. He was afraid of only the British. He had convinced himself that he could easily become the Emperor of South India if he could somehow vanquish the British. Because of his intense anti-British attitude, the so-called progressive and secular historians have made a vain attempt to paint Tipu Sultan as a great national hero.

Opposition to foreign powers need not always be due to love for one’s country. To achieve his selfish goal and to face the British forces, Tipu Sultan sought the assistance of another foreign power, the French, who were maneuvering to establish their own domination in the country. How is it possible, therefore, for Tipu Sultan to be an enemy of foreign forces when he himself had sought help from Napoleon who was then a prisoner in St. Helena Island and also the French King, Louis XVI?

Besides, he also wanted to establish Islamic rule in the country; to achieve that he had to first defeat the British. For this purpose, Tipu Sultan solicited the assistance of Muslim countries like Persia, Afghanistan, and Turkey. It is true that Tipu did not harm the Raja of Cochin or anyone for that matter who surrendered and pledged loyalty to him. But how does that make him a friend of Hindus?

Tipu and the Nizam were the only Muslim rulers in the Deccan at that time, and hence he wanted to avoid any dispute with the Nizam. He insisted that the Nizam should agree to give his daughter in marriage to his son. But the Nizam, considering Tipu as an upstart with no aristocratic heredity, refused the offer. (According to Bhagwan Gidwani, Hyder Ali Khan had suggested earlier to the Nizam that he should agree to the marriage of his daughter to the young Tipu, then in his teens.) As if to spite the Nizam, Tipu Sultan got another of his sons married to the daughter of Arackal Bibi of Cannanore mainly to secure the loyalty of Malabar Muslims for subjugating the entire Malabar region. The result was for everybody to see in due course. It may be noted that the family of Arackal Bibi though converted to Islam, followed the matriarchal system. And it is this system which the Muslim fanatic, Tipu, wanted to reform.

He wanted to be a Padishah

He wanted to become an Emperor after defeating the British. He wanted to achieve his ambition after consulting the astrologers. There were a few Brahmin astrologers in Sree Ranganatha Swami Temple. They predicted that if some of the suggested remedial rituals were performed, Tipu would achieve his cherished ambition. Believing that he could become the undisputed ruler of the whole of South India, after defeating the British, he performed all the suggested rituals in the Sree Ranaganatha Swami Temple, besides giving costly presents to the astrologers. This act is being widely interpreted by secularist historians as love and respect for Hindu religion and traditions! They also doubt if there were any Hindu temples which were desecrated or destroyed by Tipu Sultan and his Islamic army in Malabar.

The reputed historian, Lewis Rice, who wrote the History of Mysore after going through various official records, stated as follows: “In the vast empire of Tipu Sultan on the eve of his death, there were only two Hindu temples having daily pujas within the Sreerangapatanam fortress. It is only for the satisfaction of the Brahmin astrologers who used to study his horoscope that Tipu Sultan had spared those two temples. The entire wealth of every Hindu temple was confiscated before 1790 itself mainly to make up for the revenue loss due to the total prohibition in the country.”

There are people who proclaim to the world that Tipu Sultan’s rule was fair and progressive in his own state of Mysore. It would be appropriate to have a look at what a Mysorean, M.A. Gopal Rao, stated a few years ago in one of his articles: ‘In a deliberately designed taxation scheme, the religious prejudice of Tipu Sultan became quite clear. His co-religionists, Muslims, were exempted from house tax, commodity tax and also the levy on other items of household use. Those who were converted to Muhammadanism were also given similar tax exemptions. He had even made provisions for the education of their children.

Tipu Sultan discontinued the practice of appointing Hindus in different administrative and military jobs as practiced by his father, Hyder Ali Khan, in the past. He had a deep hatred towards all non-Muslims. During the entire period of sixteen years of his regime, Purnaiyya was the only Hindu, who had adorned the post of Dewan or minister under Tipu Sultan. In 1797 (two years before his death) among the 65 senior Government posts, not even a single Hindu was retained. All the Mustadirs were also Muslims. Among the 26 civil and military officers captured by the British in 1792, there were only six non-Muslims.

In 1789, when the Nizam of Hyderabad and other Muslim rulers decided that only Muslims would be appointed henceforth in all Government posts, Tipu Sultan also adopted the same policy in his Mysore State. Just because they were Muslims, even those who were illiterate and inefficient, appointed to important Government posts. Even for getting promotions, one still had to be a Muslim under Tipu Sultan’s regime. Considering the interest and convenience of only Muslim officers, all the records relating to tax revenue were ordered to be written in Persian rather than in Marathi and Kannada as followed earlier. He even tried to make Persian the State language in place of Kannada. In the end, all the Government posts were filled by lazy and irresponsible Muslims. As a consequence, the people had to suffer a great deal because of those fun-seeking and irresponsible Muslim officers. The Muslim officers, occupying important posts at all levels, were all dishonest and unreliable persons. Even when people complained to him with evidence against those officers, Tipu Sultan did not care to inquire about the complaints lodged.”

Even the place names were changed

Gopal Rao had written all these on the basis of the writings of Tipu’s own son, Ghulam Muhammad, and Muslim historians like Kirmani. Even the Hindu names of places, the Sultan could not tolerate. Therefore,

• Mangalapuri (Mangalore) was changed to Jalalabad,
• Cannanore (Kanwapuram) to Kusanabad,
• Bepur (Vaippura) to Sultanpatanam or Faruqui,
• Mysore to Nazarabad,
• Dharwar to Quarshed-Sawad,
• Gooty to Faiz-Hissar,
• Ratnagiri to Mustafabad,
• Dindigul to Khaliqabad, and
• Calicut (Kozhikode) to Islamabad.

It was after the death of Tipu Sultan that the local people reverted to old names.

Islamic atrocities in Coorg, Bednar, and Mangalore

The cruelties which Tipu Sultan committed in Coorg, has no parallel in history. On one occasion, he forcibly converted over ten thousand Hindus to Muhammadanism. On another occasion, he captured and converted to Islam more than one thousand Hindu Coorgis before imprisoning them in the Sreerangapatanam fortress. In the period of confusion and anarchy prevailing in Sreerangapatanam during the last war of Tipu Sultan against the British, all the Coorgi prisoners escaped from the prison and became Hindus again after reaching their native kingdom. Against the solemn oath given to the Raja of Coorg, Tipu Sultan forcibly abducted a young princess from the Coorg royal family and made her his wife against her will.

In 1785, Tipu Sultan promised to be friends with Coorgi Hindus. They welcomed him home. Tipu’s army suddenly attacked the Coorgis who were busy serving their guests. Every Coorgi woman who could not escape was raped. Every Coorgi boy was sodomized, and around lakh Hindus were made slaves and forcibly converted to Islam.

The atrocities committed by Tipu Sultan in Bidnur in North Karnataka during and after its capture by him were most barbarous and beyond description. Ayaz Khan, who was Kammaran Nambiar from the Chirackal Kingdom before his forcible conversion to Islam by Hyder Ali Khan, had been appointed as Governor of Bidnur. Tipu Sultan was jealous of and opposed to Ayaz Khan from the very beginning because Hyder Ali Khan had considered the latter more intelligent and smart. When Ayaz Khan learnt that Tipu Sultan was scheming to kill him secretly, he escaped to Bombay with plenty of gold. Tipu Sultan came to Bednur and forcibly converted its entire population to Islam. The people accepted Islam for the sake of their lives.

After the capture of Mangalore, thousands of Christians were also forcibly sent to Sreerangapatanam where all of them were circumcised and converted to Islam. Tipu Sultan’s justification was that during the Portuguese domination, before the arrival of the British, many Muslims had been converted to Christianity by their Missionaries. He proudly proclaimed his action as a sort of punishment for the conversion of many Muslims by the Portuguese.

Then he marched up to Kumbla on the northern borders of Kerala, forcibly converting to Islam every Hindu on the way. This time, his argument (repeated by the Muslim and secularist historians of today) was that if all belonged to one religion – Muhammadanism – there would be unity, and consequently, it would be easy to defeat the British!!!

Inside Malabar

In Malabar, the main targets of Tipu Sultan’s atrocities were Hindus and Hindu temples. According to Lewis B. Boury, the atrocities committed by Tipu Sultan against Hindus in Malabar were worse and more barbarous than those committed against the Hindus in Hindustan by the notorious Mahmud of Ghazni, Alauddin Khalji, and Nadir Shah. He disputes in his book Mukherjee’s version that Tipu Sultan had converted only his opponents. Normally even a cruel person kills or tortures only his enemies. But that argument does not justify the cruelties committed by him against innocent women and children.

Dance of the Islamic Satan

According to the Malabar Manual of William Logan, who was the District Collector for some time, Thrichambaram and Thalipparampu temples in Chirackal Taluqa, Thiruvangatu Temple (Brass Pagoda) in Tellicherry, and Ponmeri Temple near Badakara were all destroyed by Tipu Sultan. The Malabar Manual mentions that the Maniyoor mosque was once a Hindu temple. The local belief is that it was converted to a mosque during the days of Tipu Sultan.

Vatakkankoor Raja Varma in his famous literary work, History of Sanskrit Literature in Kerala, has written the following about the loss and destruction faced by the Hindu temples in Kerala during the military regime (Padayottam) of Tipu Sultan:

“There was no limit as to the loss the Hindu temples suffered due to the military operations of Tipu Sultan. Burning down the temples, destruction of the idols installed therein and also cutting the heads of cattle over the temple deities were the cruel entertainments of Tipu Sultan and his equally cruel army. It was heartrending even to imagine the destruction caused by Tipu Sultan in the famous ancient temples of Thalipparampu and Thrichambaram. The devastation caused by this new Ravana’s barbarous activities has not yet been fully rectified.”

Kozhikode made a graveyard

As per the provisions of the Treaty of Mangalore of 1784, the British had allowed Tipu Sultan to have his suzerainty over Malabar. ‘In consequence, the Hindus of Malabar had to suffer the most severe enormities the world had ever known in history,’ observes K.V. Krishna Iyer, in his famous book, Zamorins of Calicut, based on historical records available from the royal house of Zamorins in Calicut.

“When the second-in-line of Zamorins, Eralppad, refused to cooperate with Tipu Sultan in his military operations against Travancore because of Tipu’s crude methods of forcible circumcision and conversion of Hindus to Islam, the enraged Tipu Sultan took a solemn oath to circumcise and convert the Zamorin and his chieftains and Hindu soldiers to Islamic faith,” he adds.

L.B. Boury writes: “To show his ardent devotion and steadfast faith in Muhammaddan religion, Tipu Sultan found Kozhikode to be the most suitable place. It was because the Hindus of Malabar ‘refused to reject the matriarchal system, polyandry and half-nakedness of women’ that the ‘great reformer’ Tipu Sultan tried to honor the entire population with Islam.”

To the Malabar people, the Muslim harem, Muslim polygamy and the Islamic ritual of circumcision were equally repulsive and opposed to the ancient culture and tradition in Kerala. Tipu Sultan sought a marriage alliance with the matriarchal Muslim family of Arackal Bibi in Cannanore. Kozhikode was then a center of Brahmins and had over 7000 Brahmin families living there. Over 2000 Brahmin families perished as a result of Tipu Sultan’s Islamic cruelties. He did not spare even women and children. Most of the men escaped to forests and foreign lands.

Elamkulam Kunjan Pillai wrote in the Mathrubhoomi Weekly of December 25, 1955: “Muhammadans greatly increased in number. Hindus were forcibly circumcised in thousands. As a result of Tipu’s atrocities, the strength of Nairs and Chamars (Scheduled Castes) significantly diminished in number. Namboodiris also substantially decreased in number.”

The German missionary Guntest has recorded: ‘Accompanied by an army of 60,000, Tipu Sultan came to Kozhikode in 1788 and razed it to the ground. It is not possible even to describe the brutalities committed by that Islamic barbarian from Mysore.” C.A. Parkhurst also noted that ‘Almost the entire Kozhikode was razed to the ground.”

Temples destroyed

Thali, Thiruvannur, Varackal, Puthur, Govindapuram, Thalikkunnu and other important temples in the town of Kozhikode, as well as those nearby, were completely destroyed as a result of Tipu’s military operations. Some of them were reconstructed by the Zamorin after he returned following the defeat of Tipu Sultan in Sreerangapatanam and the Treaty of 1792.

The devastation caused by Tipu Sultan to the ancient and holy temples of Keraladheeswaram, Thrikkandiyoor and Thriprangatu in Vettum region was terrible. The Zamorin renovated these temples to some extent. The famous and ancient Thirunavaya Temple, known throughout the country as an ancient teaching centre of the Vedas, revered by the devotees of Vishnu from Tamil Nadu, and existing before the advent of Christ, was also plundered and destroyed by Tipu’s army (Malabar Gazetteer). After dismantling and destroying the idol, Tipu converted the Thrikkavu Temple into an ammunition depot in Ponnani (Malabar Manual).

It was the Zamorin who repaired the temple later. Kotikkunnu, Thrithala, Panniyoor and other family temples of the Zamorin were plundered and destroyed. The famous Sukapuram Temple was also desecrated. Damage done to the Perumparampu Temple and Maranelira Temple of Azhvancherry Thamprakkal (titular head of all Namboodiri Brahmins) in Edappadu, can be seen even today. Vengari Temple and Thrikkulam Temple in Eranadu, Azhinjillam Temple in Ramanattukara, Indyannur Temple, Mannur Temple and many other temples were defiled and damaged extensively during the military regime.

Tipu Sultan reached Guruvayoor Temple only after destroying Mammiyoor Temple and Palayur Christian Church. If the destruction caused by Tipu’s army is not visible today in the Guruvayoor Temple, it is mainly because of the intervention of Hydrose Kutty who had been converted to Islam by Hyder Ali Khan. He secured the safety of the temple and the continuation of land-tax exemption allowed by Hyder Ali earlier, besides the renovation and repairs done by the devotees later.

According to available evidence, fearing the wrath of Tipu Sultan, the sacred idol of the Guruvayoor Temple was removed to the Ambalapuzha Sri Krishna Temple in Travancore State. It was only after the end of Tipu’s military regime that the idol was ceremoniously reinstated in the Guruvayoor Temple itself. Even today, daily pujas are conducted in Ambalapuzha Sri Krishna Temple where the idol of Guruvayoor Temple was temporarily installed and worshipped.

Damages caused to the nearby temples at Parampathali, Panmayanadu and Vengidangu are visible even today. The deplorable state of the architecture of the sanctum sanctorum of Parampathali Temple destroyed during the military operations of Tipu Sultan is really heart-rending. The atrocities committed in Kozhikode during the nightmarish days of the military occupation are vividly described in the works of Fra Bartolomaeo, who had travelled through Kerala at that time. How cruelly Tipu Sultan, ably assisted by the French Commander M. Lally, had treated the Hindu and Christian population can be clearly understood from his writings.

Talking records of Kerala history

Govinda Pillai says in his famous book, History of Literature; “During Malayalam Era 965 corresponding to 1789-90, Tipu Sultan crossed over to Malabar with an army of uncivilized barbarians. With a sort of fanatical love for the Islamic faith, he destroyed many Hindu temples and Christian churches which were the custodians of precious wealth and religious traditions. Besides, Tipu Sultan abducted hundreds of people and forcibly circumcised and converted them to Islam – an act which was considered by them as more than death.”

A small army of 2000 Nairs of Kadathanadu resisted the invasion of the huge army of Tipu Sultan from a fortress in Kuttipuram for a few weeks. They were reduced to starvation and death. Tipu Sultan entered the fort and offered to spare their lives, provided they accepted conversion to Islam. The unfortunate lots of 2000 Nairs were then forced to eat beef after being converted to the Islamic faith, at the end of the usual religious ritual of mass circumcision. All the members of one branch of Parappanad Royal Family were forcibly converted to Muhammadan faith except for one or two who escaped from the clutches of Tipu Sultan’s army. Similarly, one Thiruppad belonging to Nilamboor Royal Family was also forcibly abducted and converted to Islam.

After that, it was reported that further conversions of Hindus were attempted through those converts. At the end, when the Kolathiri Raja surrendered and paid tribute, Tipu Sultan got him treacherously killed without any specific reason, dragged his dead body tied to the feet of an elephant through the streets, and finally hanged him from a tree-top to show his Islamic contempt for Hindu Rajas.

It may be mentioned here that the entire Wodayar Royal Family of Mysore had been humiliated and kept in prison by Hyder Ali Khan and Tipu Sultan in their capital city, Sreerangapatanam. Even the Palghat Raja, Ettipangi Achan, who had surrendered, was imprisoned on suspicion and later taken to Sreerangapatanam. Nothing was heard of him subsequently.

Christians in Palghat fled out of fear. Tipu Sultan terrified the entire Hindu population in Malabar, stationing his army contingents in different regions for the purpose. Tipu Sultan forcibly collected the tax initially imposed by Hyder Ali Khan. Standing crops were confiscated. This act provoked even some influential Mappila landlords to revolt against Tipu Sultan.

Hyder Ali Khan had exempted temples from the payment of land tax. But Tipu Sultan forced the temples to pay heavy taxes. The famous Hemambika Temple at Kalpathi of the Palghat Raja who had surrendered to Hyder Ali Khan, the Kachamkurissi Temple of the Kollamkottu Raja who had deserted the Zamorin and sided with Hyder Ali Khan, and also the Jain Temple at Palghat suffered serious damages due to the cruel policies of Tipu Sultan.

Many Nair and Brahmin landlords fled the country leaving their vast wealth behind. The Mappilas forcibly took possession of their lands and wealth. Tipu Sultan did not object to their actions. Most of the Mappila landlords of today claim that they purchased the ownership of the landed properties from Nairs and Brahmins after paying heavy compensation. They are repeating these blatant lies in spite of the fact that practically nothing was paid to the Hindu landlords then or later. (The same Islamic treachery was repeated during the Mappila riots of 1921.)

In any case, Tipu Sultan succeeded in mass killing, converting lakhs of Hindus to the Islamic faith, driving thousands out of their traditional homes, and finally making the rest extremely poor. Many Hindus belonging to ‘lower’ castes accepted conversion to Islam under duress. However, many others, especially the Thiyyas, fled to Tellicherry and Mahe for safety.

When the British established their rule in Malabar, and the Hindu landlords made efforts to recover their landed properties, illegally occupied by the local Mappilas, Mullahs started preaching to their fanatic followers that “killing of Hindu landlords was a sacred Islamic act,” leading to frequent Mappila outrages in Malabar.

In Cherunad, Vettathunad, Eranad, Valluvanad, Thamarassery and other interior areas, local Mappilas unleashed a reign of terror on the Hindu population, mainly to retain the illegally occupied land and to establish their domination over Hindus as during Tipu’s regime. Fearing the organised robberies and violence, people could not even travel freely in the Malabar hinterland of the predominantly Mappila population.

Lt. Col. E. Phitiyan, Andriansi, Mayan, K.P. Padmanabha Menon Sadasyathilakan T.K. Velu Pillai, Ullur Parameshwara Iyer, and other prominent people have described vividly the various types of atrocities committed by Tipu Sultan during the days of his Islamic rule in Malabar. There is no count of the wealth looted from Hindu temples and taken away by him to Sreerangapatanam. It is, therefore, very pitiable that a few shameless Hindus of today have come forward to orchestrate the nefarious propaganda of the fanatic Muslims, namely, that it was the imperialist divide-and-rule policy of the British that was responsible for blaming the Muslims for various atrocities committed against Hindus.

This Big Lie was surreptitiously entered subsequently in history books and related records. It is obvious that these “Hindus” are speaking on the theme of Hindu-Muslim unity and praising the ‘secular’ credentials of the Muslim League, Tipu Sultan and Aurangzeb to the sky, not sincerely for the sake of Hindu-Muslim amity but only because of their inherent cowardice. They even proclaim that the notorious Mappila outrage of 1921 was part of the freedom struggle!

Conclusion

“A few observations about the attack of Tipu Sultan on the Travancore State would be appropriate in this context. If the Nedunkotta had not been constructed earlier mainly to stop the danger from the powerful Zamorin, the same fate would have befallen the helpless Travancore State as well. Because of the above fortification, Tipu Sultan could wreak vengeance only in Angamally, Alwaye, Varapuzha, Alangod and other towns on the northern borders of Travancore State.” That is what the Dewan of Travancore, Madhava Rao, had written in the history of Travancore. It may be emphasized here that he had relied on the original local records, not the ones published by the European historians.

He wrote: “Whatever cruelties, the local Mappilas were desirous of indulging in the land, Tipu Sultan and his army of Muslim converts did. The ancient and holy temples were heartlessly defiled or burnt down. The ruins of those temples destroyed by Tipu’s fanatic army are the existing evidence of the atrocities committed by Muslims in the country. Christian churches also had to suffer widespread destructions. However, Tipu Sultan spared only the territories of Cochin Raja, who had surrendered to Hyder Ali Khan in the beginning itself. Still, when Tipu Sultan and his army entered Parur and started firing at Kodungallur, the Cochin Raja sent a letter to the Travancore Raja requesting him ‘to protect me and my family’.” (A copy of the original letter was also published in the book.)

These are the recorded facts about the atrocities unleashed by Tipu Sultan during his military regime notoriously known as Padayottakalam. Poets have written a number of poems about the sufferings of the people and the land during those nightmarish days.

The following was written by a member of the Katathanad Royal Family about the consequences of Padayottakalam: “Oh Shiva! Shiva Lingam (idol) has gone (destroyed) from the temple, and also the Lingam (manliness) from the land.”

These are the publicly available translations that are used for promotion of Islam by prominent representatives. It also borrows for books on history, most of which are in public-domain.

We believe that most religious texts have been wrongly translated, misinterpreted, misquoted or even have been tampered with and interpolated to suit the selfish designs of proponents of Islam after Muhammad. Thus, we believe that original Islam and original Quran of Muhammad are totally different from what have been propagated by some of his fanatic followers in name of Islam. There are few minority groups in Muslims whose scholars subscribe to our views and interpret/translate Islamic texts differently. Some even refuse to consider the available Quran and Hadiths as authentic. But these scholars themselves are considered Kafirs and are condemned by many dominant elite of Islam. Thus, when we refer to Islam, we actually imply these dominant elites of Islam and not Muslims or all Islamic scholars in general.

Wherever we critically evaluate Muhammad, we imply the fictitious Muhammad propagated by these false texts or their wrong translations and not the original Muhammad. We have high regard for original Muhammad who stood for non-violence and tolerance. Similarly, when we analyze Islamic texts, we refer to these questionable translations/versions and NOT original texts.

Further, we have a sense of the highest level of brotherhood for Muslims in general. Wherever we use the word Muslim in a critical manner, it refers to false intolerant representatives of Islam and not Muslims in general. Readers are requested to keep this in mind to understand the correct perspective of the post.

Nowhere should they assume the words like Islam, Quran, Prophet etc. to be referring to original noble entities, unless it has been referred in a positive light. We restrict ourselves only to notions prevalent in minds of fanatics and those without reason.

Eid Mubarak!

I was stuck in a signal when an auto stopped next to me. An old Muslim couple was carrying a tall healthy goat in the auto. There was something about the goat that struck me and could not remove my eyes from it for sometime. It had a long thin beard and eyes full of confident arrogance. From the angle I viewed, it was as if I am watching Zakir Naik right in front of me. (Zakir Naik is founder of IRF and considered role model for many recently caught extremists, as per some news reports.) This was the first time I felt such a level of compassion for Zakir Naik – the most influential mentor of terrorism today. Even he appeared like an innocent goat (despite his baseless arrogance) deserving caressing on the head and some green grass to be fed. My meeting with little-Zakir was short-lived and we parted ways as the light turned green.
And today, while I sit down penning my thoughts and Zakir Naik stands up explaining why apostates should be murdered as per Shariat, the duplicate of Zakir Naik – my goat friend of few minutes – must have already left for Heaven after being mercilessly butchered in name of Id Mubarak!
Yes, this is Eid Mubarak today – November 17, 2010 – but for whom? For millions of goats, camels and cows across the world, it would be their worst Muharram when they would no more be alive to even weep on their destiny.
Agniveer wishes a heartiest Eid-Mubarak to all its Muslim brothers and sisters. And it appeals to them to make it an Eid-Mubarak also for the innocent animals who are murdered for no fault of theirs.
We shall explore in this article why the concept of animal sacrifice on Bakr-Eid is completely illogical and against the tenets of Muhammad.
There is a story behind celebration of Bakr-Eid that most of you know.
There was a Prophet Abraham as per Islamic and Biblical mythology who was ordered by God/Allah in dream to sacrifice his son. He obeyed and decided to sacrifice Ismail – his dear son. Just before he was about to butcher his son, God stopped the sacrifice and replaced the son with a ram (sheep). God was pleased with loyalty of Abraham and hence to mark this ‘great moment’ Bakr-Eid is celebrated by sacrificing a goat, ram, cow or camel after the Namaz.
Now let us analyze the veracity as well as logical basis of this story:
1. First of all, even if we take the story at face value, a sheep or ram was sacrificed. But Bakr means a ‘cow’. Some say it means a ‘camel’.
Then why should the festival be called Bakr-Eid and not Sheep-Eid?
Why are cows, goats or camels sacrificed when they do not form part of the story?
2. And if a festival is called Cow-Eid when the story is about sacrifice of a sheep, why not instead call it Grains-Eid and simply distribute food-grains for needy ones? After all the resources spent on 1 kg of meat is able to produce more than 10 kg of food-grains. This shows that the person who started this festival was anyone but someone inspired from Allah. How can Allah be so wasteful and brutal?
3. Allah came in dream of Prophet Abraham to order him to kill his son. Does Allah come similarly in dreams of Muslims who butcher animals to celebrate Eid? If not, why they try to imitate Abraham like a monkey? And if they still want to imitate Abraham, why not butcher their own children and wait for Allah to stop their hands if He wishes so? Why this double standard?
The reason is clear – All Muslims know clearly that no Allah ever appears in dreams or stands up to stop people from doing certain actions in such fantastic manners. So basically they are trying to fool Allah to make Him believe how much they love Him without giving an inch of sacrifice.
4. Muslim scholars across the world have denounced this story as a fake one. They rightly state that Allah can never come in anyone’s dream to ask him to kill his children. When Allah has himself prohibited murder, how come He act as a criminal by asking anyone to do so. Ideally, even if Allah came in dream to ask Abraham to kill his son, he should have said clearly to Allah that he cannot disobey Allah’s original orders. This would have been the real passing of test of Allah.
Further, when Allah already knows everything, why does He need to take crazy tests? After all He also knows the answer that the examinees will give. Why such a drama then?
But the fake Quran available today creates a villain out of Allah. Allah Himself creates rule and then instigates His followers to break those rules. For example, He asked everyone to bow down to none other than Allah Himself. But then He ordered Satan to bow down to Adam. When Satan refused, He was punished by Allah. To read this tragedy in poetic form, please visit Shaitan Ka Dukhda.
Just think, if instead of killing the son, what should Abraham have done if Allah had asked him to rape his child? Should he have followed the order of Allah? Incidentally, such stories have opened a Pandora’s Box. Refer http://www.dnaindia.com/world/odd-news_father-marries-daughter-citing-divine-sanction_1134275
Hence it is proven that such fake stories do not exist in original Quran. Muslims should reject all such fake verses that denigrate Allah and Muhammad who is alleged to have compiled such illogical verses under inspiration of Allah.
5. We provide two links of articles by eminent Muslim scholars who clearly proclaim that this is a fake story that insults Allah and hence should be rejected. They say that no such dream ever came and no such dream inspired by Allah can ever come. Whatever Abraham may have done was through his own hallucinations.
http://www.submission.org/Ismail.html
http://www.quran-islam.org/articles/abrahams_sacrifice_%28P1164%29.html
Summary conclusions of these articles are as follows:
– The story behind Bakr-Eid is a fake one
– Allah can never ask anyone to do any evil act like killing one’s own innocent children
– Prophets are vulnerable to Satan’s attacks. Thus there is no guarantee that whatever Prophet Abraham or Prophet Muhammad is supposed to have stated, as per records of his followers who were not prophets, is not inspired from Satan.
– Allah never asked Abraham to even sacrifice a sheep or goat. There is no such mention in Quran.
6. If we look into real Quran, it very clearly advocates vegetarianism and condemns those who kill innocent creatures. That is why a large number of progressive Muslims are turning vegetarian today. Please visit http://islamveg.com for one of the largest vegetarian groups of world.
It is not their meat nor their blood, that reaches Allah: it is your piety that reaches Him: He has thus made them subject to you, that ye may glorify Allah for His Guidance to you and proclaim the good news to all who do right. (Quran 22.37)
There is not an animal in the earth, nor a flying creature flying on two wings, but they are peoples like unto you. We have neglected nothing in the Book (of Our decrees). Then unto their Lord they will be gathered.” (Quran 6:38)
http://islamveg.com/fatwas.asp gives a list of fatwas favoring vegetarianism.
This clearly shows that Allah does not ask for animal-killing. Wherever animal-sacrifice is mentioned, it simply means using animals for good purpose and caring for them.
And if that not be the case, it is better to reject false verses in name of Supreme than follow brutality blindly.
7. That is why during the period of Haj, no animal killing is allowed. Even killing of a lice in head is forbidden. No animal sacrifice takes place in Kaba. If indeed it were order of Allah, then Kaba should have been hottest destination for animal sacrifice.


Q: Ok, I understand that the story is fake and what we Muslims do on Bakr-Id is only a social ritual. But what is the harm in eating meat?

A: Several:
a. It is the most hazardous practice for environment and hygiene.
b. It is most inefficient form of food production and prime cause of hunger in world. Because the resources used to prepare meat of animals that gives 1 calorie of energy can grow more than 10 calories of vegetarian energy. In other words, if people turn vegetarian, more than ten times more people can feed their hunger. Also crops are renewable. One seed can grow many more plants. But animal, once killed, cannot come back and grow thousand other  animals. Taking this into consideration, vegetarian food can feed several hundred times more people than those fed by meat.
Since Muslim countries are among the poorest in the world, the ONLY relevant Zakat or charity for Muslims could be to turn vegetarian and feed their fellow brothers and sisters.
c. There are no health benefits associated with meat eating. On contrary, many diseases are nurtured and contracted solely through meat eating habits.
d. There is no evidence that meat eating makes you stronger. Even the wrestling world champion these days, Sushil Kumar, is a vegetarian.
e. If meat-eating is justified, why should not even dead human beings, insane people, old people and small babies who are not productive in society be also eaten. Meat of Zakir Naik would perhaps be more beneficial than that of any goat, cow, camel or sheep. Zakir Naik says that Muslims are docile and non-violent because they eat non-violent and docile animals. By this logic itself, Muslims will become scholars if they eat meat of scholars like Zakir Naik and his IRF gang.
f. Would you volunteer to be eaten yourself to feed others? If no, then why kill innocent animals who also feel the same pain, grief and love life the way you do. In fact, you may still be susceptible t0 stress and tensions, so you enjoy life less. So if animals can be killed, even you, your children, your parents, your friends, your neighbors and all insane and dead people should also be eaten away.
This is not a treatise on vegetarianism, so I request everyone to research this topic themselves. But the basic point is that killing of innocent animals in name of pleasing the Supreme Allah is a most foolish and insulting act towards Allah.

Q: But even plants have life. By that logic should we stop eating everything and die with hunger?

A:
1. No one, except the illiterate farmer in California whom Zakir Naik met (refer Zakir Naik on Halal Meat) ever proved that plants feel pain in same manner as animals.
2. Plants are in inert unconscious state and do not feel pain like patients in coma. There is no soul in plant that knows that ‘I’ am the mango tree the way you feel that ‘I’ am Zakir Naik and I am an ‘Indian Mujahideen’. So there is no harm in eating plants. Now you would argue that this means that even coma patients should be eaten up. This only shows cannibalistic attitude desperate for sensations on tongue. But fact is that a plant will never revive into consciousness, but a coma patient can. Further, from health reasons, eating meat is stupidity. Thus there is no reason why anything except plants be eaten by taking life.
3. Eating plants is a most environment friendly way of living and solves problem of hunger in world. So only plants should be eaten.
4. Even if you argue that plants may have soul that feels ‘I’ am mango-tree or carrot, even then it is better to eat plants and not animals. Because we know 100% that animals feel pain, have face and enjoy life the way we do. When they are butchered, they wriggle in pain in same manner that a Zakir Naik or Osama Bin Laden or Imam Bukhari or you would do. But for plants you are not 100% sure. In fact there is no evidence that they face the same pain as you do when butchered. So its better to eat plants even from a probabilistic standpoint.
After all if you know that eating plants is more healthy, safer, hygienic, environment friendly, poverty reducing and yet not brutal like animal killing, don’t you agree that only a fool will eat animals and make his or her own nature brutal.

Q: What about Hindus who kill during festivals like Kali Puja?

A: What do you expect us to say? They are also wrong and acting inhuman. Perhaps slightly less because they use ‘jhatka’ instead of ‘halal’ method but nonetheless a murder is a murder. Vedas nowhere sanction this in name of worship of God. Vedas, on contrary, loudly proclaim that compassion towards all animals is necessary to qualify as a human being. Refer No beef in Vedas. Had Hindus not succumbed to anti-Vedic practices, how could the brutal uncivilized invaders conquer them and still rule them despite a pseudo-independence!

Q: So you mean as a Muslim, I should not be killing any living-being?

A: Exactly!
Being a true Muslim, you need to do following:
– Accept only those verses of Quran and Hadiths that do not cast Allah or Muhammad as merciless, characterless, moody or whimsical.
– Interpret all verses of remaining Quran only in lines of reason, rationality, justice and compassion. If there is any confusion, reject it.
– Since Quran clearly says that meat does not go to Allah, you should NEVER kill animals for meat.
– You should act in rational manner, be concerned about environment, be concerned about poor fellow beings, be compassionate to innocent animals and hence never ever kill innocent harmless animals for taste.
– You should instead take good care of these animals and use them for your benefit. Chapter 2 of Quran is Surah Bakar or Chapter of Holy Cow. Hence Cow is holy for you and should always be nurtured. Take her milk, ghee, butter and all benefits she bestows upon human beings without torturing her or depriving her calf of mother’s milk.
The Hadith of Zâd al-ma‘âd by Ibn Qayyim says that:
The Prophet, peace be upon him, said:
“You should use cows’ milk, because it is good for health, and cows’ ghee is good for health, but beef is bad for health.”

Actually, the literal meaning of the words the Prophet used is much stronger than that. He said that milk is “healing,” ghee is “medicine,” and beef is “disease.”
In the Book of Medicine of the Mustadrak al-Hakîm [a classical hadith commentary by al-Hakîm al-Nîsaburî], the first hadith is: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings upon him, said: “Allah did not create any disease without creating its cure; and in cows’ milk is a cure for every disease.” The third hadith in this book says on the subject of healing: “Because the cow grazes from every kind of plant.”
– As a true Muslim you should wage a Jihad (Holy War) against all those forces who insult Allah or Muhammad by celebrating Id in wrong manner, eating meat by killing innocent animals, killing cow which is most holy, claiming that all non-Muslims will burn in eternal Hell and presenting a wrong Quran with wrong interpretations against fellow Muslims. To die in Allah’s cause in such a Jihad is indeed welcome and most glorifying.
To such a true Jihadi Muslim – who stands for peace, humanity, character and compassion – Agniveer wishes a very very happy Bakr-Eid (Festival of happiness by service of cow)

Scientific Errors in Hinduism

The core foundation of Hindu belief is that Vedas contain source of all knowledge – physical or metaphysical. However, in last 100 odd years, this belief has come under scrutiny due to the advances that modern science claims to make.

An entire group of Vedic ‘experts’ has stood up to prove that Vedas contain early man theories and are not compatible with modern discoveries. These include communist historians propelled by commentaries on Vedas by western Indologists like Max Muller, Griffith et al and a new breed of intellectuals who initiate all research with assumption that ‘old means defective’. However in modern era of religious marketing, another group has come up which would go to any length to discover scientific errors in Vedas. This is the group which would want 800 million Hindus to lose faith in Vedas and their religion and embrace what they believe is the final message of God. Yes I am referring to Islamic and Christian evangelists.

While both these groups of evangelists are propelled by vision of making everyone in world a follower of their respective Holy Books, the situation is even more desperate for Quran zealots. This is because a bulk of Islamic evangelists believes that Jesus will come again towards end of the world after which they would reach Paradise forever. And an important sign of Jesus’ coming is conquest of India. I do not know the original source of this superstition, but this remains a primary motivator for most Islamic evangelists today.

Thus, every now and then, we would see references to ‘Scientific Errors in Hinduism’. The typical pattern would be English translation of some mantra followed by a Veda Mantra reference.

Often the reference and English translation are both pointing to sources best known to authors of these works. But for layman, these create a lot of confusion and doubt over relevance of Vedas. While I would shy away from thrusting my personal faith on Vedas, I would like to provide some excerpts from Vedas that provide clues to deep scientific concepts hidden within them.

Unfortunately, due to thousand years of slavery, burning of our universities and libraries by barbarians and then demands for tackling issues of survival first, there remains a lot of work to be done to rediscover the Vedic sciences. However, sufficient clues exist to justify why this rediscovery would be worthwhile.

A new propaganda has become popular over last few months, which is being pursued aggressively on various internet websites, discussion groups, and social networking sites. Agniveer has received more than 50 references to this propaganda through emails, comments, and messages, either in support of it or with a request to counter it. Simply type “Scientific Errors in Hinduism” in Google and you shall get a huge number of results on this.

Initially, Agniveer thought this to be a childish blabbering not worth taking seriously. However, going by the alarming rate of its propagation, and considering the average mental aptitude of those trying to demean Vedas to establish a medieval era book as the only escape for all human beings from a burning Hell to an amorous Paradise, Agniveer finds it necessary to issue a rebuttal.

The original text comes in different variations but essentially provides a few Mantras from Vedas and some other tall claims to showcase Hinduism as unscientific.

In this chapter, we shall review each of the anti-Hindu claims of the document point by point and also provide some brief snippets of sufficient clues exist in Vedas.

A point of note: Vedas not being dogmatic in nature and containing eternal truths do not try to spoon-feed us. Thus, Vedas would contain seeds for all forms of knowledge and would urge humans to explore further. Because in the Vedic framework, it is our efforts that can provide us bliss.

Vedas say Earth is static!

Allegation 1: Indra has made this earth static.

According to Vedas, the earth is static, and this statement is repeated several times. The following are some of the examples: “Oh Man! He who made the trembling earth static is Indra.”
Rig Veda 2/12/12

Agniveer

Actual translation of the Mantra:

“He who ensures that the sun with seven colour bands that shines, the clouds that rain, air that circulates, water bodies that nourish us – all work in harmony to provide us life and vitality have been managed by Indra or the Ishwar who provides prosperity.”
Rig Veda 2/12/12

There is nothing about the static earth in this Mantra.

Allegation 2: God has made earth stable.

The God who made the earth stable.
Yajur Veda 32/6

Agniveer

Unfortunately, the “scientist” who wrote this could not distinguish between stable and static. Anything that moves or stays in equilibrium as per defined laws is stable and when there is an element of randomness or unpredictability, it becomes unstable. Stability DOES NOT mean lack of motion.

By the way, this is a great Mantra recited by Hindus daily, and it means:

“May we surrender all our actions and thoughts only to Him who has stabilised the sun and other illuminating bodies, the earth, the heavenly bodies and the entire universe solely for our happiness and who provides us ultimate bliss after Mukti or Salvation.”
Yajur Veda 32/6

Very clearly the Mantra says that all heavenly bodies, including the sun, are stable. Thus, even by the wildest stretch of “Heavenly” imagination, one cannot bring such a ridiculous meaning to this Mantra that implies earth as being static.

Allegation 3: Indra protects “immovable” earth.

Indra protects the wide earth which is immovable and has many forms.
Atharva Veda 12/1/11

Agniveer

This Mantra is from the famous Bhumi Sukta, which forms the origin of the sense of love that patriots demonstrate for Dharti Mata. When one reads this Sukta today considering how our freedom fighters would die for this soil and often carrying this soil in hand till last breath, one cannot help getting his eyes wet with a sense of gratitude towards those great legends whose debts we have to repay through our deeds.

The particular Mantra means:

“O Earth, you provide me with great snow-capped mountains and hills, forests, farms, food, herbs and rains so that I am always happy, protected and nurtured. You provide me with the support I need to live like a king.”
Atharva Veda 12/1/11

The following Mantra continues –

You are my mother, O Earth, and I am your son. You purify us and may we be able to repay your blessings through our noble actions.

What could be better thought on love for mother earth? However, perhaps patriotism and allegiance to the soil are alien to Anti-Hindu mindsets. That is why this is so unscientific for them!

Allegation 4: Walk on the Wide and Static earth.

Let us walk on the Wide and Static earth.
Atharva Veda 12/1/17

Agniveer

Actual meaning of the Mantra:

“May we travel all around the earth that provides us prosperity, nutrition, medicines and supports us in a variety of ways.”
Atharva Veda 12/1/17

The foolish Anti-Hindu just saw the word “Dhruva” and started imagining silly things. “Dhruva” means something that provides reliable support.

On the contrary, there are several Mantras in Vedas that clearly discuss the movement of the earth. Some examples:

• “This earth is devoid of hands and legs, yet it moves ahead. All the objects over the earth also move with it. It moves around the sun.

In this mantra,

Kshaa = Earth (refer Nigantu 1.1)
Ahastaa = without hands
Apadee = without legs
Vardhat = moves ahead
Shushnam Pari = Around the sun
Pradakshinit = revolves
Rig Veda 10/22/14

• “The sun has tied Earth and other planets through attraction and moves them around itself as if a trainer moves newly trained horses around itself holding their reins.”

In this mantra,

Savita = Sun
Yantraih = through reins
Prithiveem = Earth
Aramnaat = Ties
Dyaam Andahat = Other planets in sky as well
Atoorte = Unbreakable
Baddham = Holds
Ashwam Iv Adhukshat = Like horses
Rig Veda 10/149/1

• “The sun moves in its own orbit in space taking along with itself the mortal bodies like earth through force of attraction.”
Yajur Veda 33/43

• “The sun moves in its own orbit but holding earth and other heavenly bodies in a manner that they do not collide with each other through force of attraction.”
Rig Veda 1/35/9

• “Sun moves in its orbit which itself is moving. Earth and other bodies move around the sun due to the force of attraction, because the sun is heavier than them.”
Rig Veda 1/164/13

Vedas say the sun moves around the earth!

Allegation 5: Horses take the sun to the sky.

“Sun is full of light and knows all the human beings, so his horses take him to the sky to look at the world.”
Rig Veda 1/50/1

Agniveer

Again this is a daily prayer Mantra for Hindus. It means:

“The way rays of sun enable the world to see the sun; in the same manner, all noble people should propagate their goodness far and wide through good deeds and teachings.”
Rig Veda 1/50/1

There is neither a horse in this Mantra nor Mantra talks about sun moving around any earth.

Allegation 6: Chariot takes the sun to the sky.

“O, Bright sun, a chariot named harit with seven horses takes you to the sky.”
Rig Veda 1/50/8

Agniveer

Actual meaning of the Mantra:

“The way seven rays of sun carry its illumination across the world like horses of a chariot; in the same manner, you should understand seven kinds of Chhanda of Vedas.”
Rig Veda 1/50/8

One can try to interpret this Mantra to mean that the sun moves. However, then how would one explain rays as seven horses, because rays emanate from all around the sun and not necessarily in the direction of sun’s motion only.

Further, Vedas, in any case, do not deny that the sun moves. In fact, Vedas clearly state that the sun also moves, and there is no static body in the universe.

There is no mention of motion of the sun around the earth in this or any other Mantras.

As per Rig Veda 1/35/9, the sun has a different motion in its own orbit.

Allegation 7: Sun takes a round of the earth.

“O man, the sun who is most attractive takes a round of the earth on his golden chariot through the sky and removes the darkness of the earth.”
Yajur Veda 33/43

Agniveer

Actual meaning of the Mantra:

“The sun moves in its own orbit in space taking along with itself the mortal bodies like earth through force of attraction.”
Yajur Veda 33/43

Exactly this happens in reality. Even the most basic text on astronomy would cover this subject. Anti-Hindu texts have no notion of the concept of gravitational force causing Anti-Hindu scientists to raise a red-herring on this.

Allegation 8: Bull has supported the sky.

Vedas say The Bull has supported the Sky. “The Bull has supported the sky.”
Yajur Veda 4/30

Agniveer

Classic case of “One burnt in rainy season seeing only green colour”! The Anti-Hindu scientist simply saw the word “Vrishabh” and created yet another imagination by assuming it to mean a bull.

“Vrishabh” actually means an entity that is powerful, possessing high potentials or simply the best. It later came to mean the ‘bull’ also because the ‘bull’ is a symbol of raw power. There is hardly any animal that can match the bull in power and speed. Even a lion does not dare attack a bull from the front.

The actual meaning of the Mantra is:

“O All-Powerful Ishwar, you permeate all across the universe, create and nurture the earth, stabilise the sun, manage the heavenly bodies and sky and ensure like a righteous king that everything functions in the correct manner. This is your inherent nature.”
Yajur Veda 4/30

Allegation 9: Bull has supported the sky – 2.

“The Bull has supported the sky.”
Yajur Veda 14/5

Agniveer

This Mantra does not have any word that can mean a bull. This Mantra is on duties of a wife.
It states:

“O wife! May you be pleasing to your husband and indulge in noble activities. May you be extremely intelligent and further your knowledge through study like the sun. May you provide bliss to everyone in the same manner as the brilliant sun provides food, light and purity to all. May you please everyone in the same manner as water satisfies all. May you promote knowledge all across.”
Yajur Veda 14/5

Indeed, an amazing Mantra showing the Vedic respect for a woman. What can be a better example of women empowerment?

Miscellaneous allegations from Puranas

The rest of this silly article provides references from Puranas on how Hinduism is unscientific. However, Puranas are not at all considered evidence in the matter of Dharma. Only Vedas are considered divine, and we have adequately demonstrated how stupid the claims of Vedas being ‘unscientific’ are.

As for Puranas, they even contain descriptions of Muhammad Sahib, Akbar, and Victoria showing that they continued to be written until the 19th century, obviously under the might of the incumbent rule. So we shall simply not dwell into exploring the references given. We, however, doubt that even there, these anti-Hindu scientists would have made the same kind of blunders like they did while proving Muhammad Sahib in Bhavishya Puran as a demon worthy of being punished!

Two additional points remain to be covered apart from the references from Purana. Let us review them:

Allegation 10: No scientific truth in sun worship.

Vedas / Puranas recommend looking directly into the sun with the naked eye. The Vedas and Puranas say that all Hindus must pray to the sun god SURYA and that if you look at the sun daily every morning with your naked eyes, your sight will improve. Accordingly, many Hindus practice this act of worship; but instead of their eyesight improving, India is the country that has the most blind people in the world (2.5 million blind people and 9 million with corneal blindness). There is no scientific truth in sun worship, and on the contrary, the scientist and doctors advise everyone not to look at the sun directly with the naked eye. Who is telling us the truth, the Scientists or the Hindu scriptures? You be the judge!

Agniveer

No references have been provided in support of this allegation. Hence, this is only a vague allegation.

Yes, it is a natural treatment of India for eyes by watching the sunrise. There has been no a single case in the world that has caused damage to eyesight because they watched a sunrise or sunset. Refer: Solar observing and Eye Safety that provides references to several technical papers on this subject.

Damage to eyes happens when watching bright sun or eclipse. Hindus rightfully strongly recommend staying away from gazing the sun during those times.

The statistics on blindness in India is interesting. However, can the Anti-Hindu scientist also provide details on how many of these blinds were Hindus and how many contracted blindness due to watching the sunrise? Cataract is the prime cause of blindness in developing countries, and not a single research cited sunrise watching as the cause of blindness. Also, the prevalence of blindness is slightly more in Pakistan compared to India. What religion do they follow?

Allegation 11: Nothing is scientific about the holy cow.

Vedas say the cow is holy and should be worshipped. (Brahmins add that cow dung ash has medicinal value). The Vedas say that the cow is holy and should be worshipped. These Brahmins also claim that cow dung ash has medicinal value. Samples sent to a leading test laboratory in West Germany have proved this to be untrue.

Agniveer

Yes, Vedas indeed emphatically state that cow is most precious to sensible human beings and those who kill cows for a taste of tongues are indeed among the dumbest. Because a living cow, even if sterile, produces more benefits for the environment than a dead cow. Almost all outputs from a cow – milk, dung, urine – have a beneficial impact on environment and health. A smart community can sustain its power through preservation of cows alone.

We request to cite the name of the lab which proved cow dung ash to be useless. Kindly do not provide vague references. By the way, West Germany ceases to exist since 1990! Agniveer recalls how Zakir Naik also gives reference to research by some illiterate ‘farmer’ in California to justify Halal Meat. This shows the standards of the references of Anti-Hindu scientists!

Cow dung has been proven to produce tremendous benefits including construction of bricks. There are at least four International Patents (US/ Europe) on cow urine that Agniveer is aware of. Simply search on Google with ‘cow urine patent’.

Thus, rightfully Hindus regard cow to be as important as the mother.

Science is the foundation of Hindu Culture

Before concluding, let me assert a few points.

Science lies not only in scriptures of Hindus but even more so in the foundations of their culture. The most basic traditions of Hindus based on most scientific principles, despite being polluted by superstitions and foreign impacts.

• Namaste with folded hands is scientific
• Bangles and earrings for women are scientific
• Drinking lots of water in early morning as Usha-Paan is scientific
• Avoiding non-veg in pretext of some festival to extent possible is scientific
• Monogamy is scientific
• Considering all women except wife as equivalent to mother is scientific
• Encouraging children to ask questions is scientific
• Meditation is scientific
• Pranayam is scientific
• Desi Vyayam is scientific
• Not eating together from the same plate and avoiding exchange of saliva is scientific
• Washing hands several times with soap and water after bowels is scientific
• Washing organs properly with water during the bath is scientific
• Avoid needing circumcision merely to maintain hygiene is scientific.

Thus, a typical educated Hindu can easily inculcate scientific spirit and rationalism and progress ahead.

Proof of the pudding is in the eating. There are around 50 countries in the world with a Muslim majority, but fanatic rulers dominate almost all. Showcase how many renowned scientists have they produced, how many researchers, how many engineers of world repute?

There has been only one Muslim scientist worth being considered the Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Abdus Salam of Pakistan. However, he was thrown out of the country and declared Kafir because he was a Qadiyani. Thus, no Zakir Naik would dare take his name even though he would shout a lot on how Islam is the foundation of all science!

When Dr. Salam died in 1996, on his grave was inscribed “First Muslim Nobel Laureate”. However, due to orders of government, the word Muslim was removed. It now reads “First Nobel Laureate”!

There are other renowned scientists like Dr. Pervez Hoodbhoy and late Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, and indeed, we are proud of them. Moreover, they also are proud of our ancient culture and history. They are thus noble Vedas followers and our jewels. If their version of Islam be promoted instead of what neo-Wahabis are propagating, the world would be a heaven.

Watch how the great Islamic Pakistani scholar and writer Hasan Nisar, exposes the intellectual capabilities of fanatic Muslim Ummat blatantly. He has repeatedly said that Muslim Ummat has not produced even a single intellectual from the centuries but still live in illusions of grandiose that never existed causing them to sink down and down.

Compare with Hindus. They are at top positions everywhere despite all odds. Right from the inception of civilisation, this culture has produced the most brilliant minds and continues producing even today. The reason obviously lies in the scientific foundations of the Hindu culture.

Thus, while a Pakistan is crumbling under its own weight after independence, India is surging ahead despite having a corrupt leadership and minority appeasement based mindset of its selfish leaders.

Before we conclude let’s see review some sufficient clues from Vedas

Science of Gravitational Force in Vedas

“O Indra! by putting forth your mighty rays, which possess the qualities of gravitation and attraction-illumination and motion – keep up the entire universe in order through the Power of your attraction.”
Rig Veda 8/12/28

“O God, You have created this Sun. You possess infinite power. You are upholding the sun and other spheres and render them steadfast by your power of attraction.
Rig Veda 1/6/5, Rig Veda 8/12/30

“The sun moves in its own orbit in space taking along with itself the mortal bodies like earth through force of attraction.”
Yajur Veda 33/43

“The sun moves in its own orbit but holding earth and other heavenly bodies in a manner that they do not collide with each other through force of attraction.
Rig Veda 1/35/9

“Sun moves in its orbit which itself is moving. Earth and other bodies move around the sun due to the force of attraction, because the sun is heavier than them.
Rig Veda 1/164/13

“The sun has held the earth and other planets.”
Atharva Veda 4/11/1

Science of Light of Moon in Vedas

“The moving moon always receives a ray of light from sun.”
Rig Veda 1/84/15

“Moon decided to marry. Day and Night attended its wedding. And sun gifted his daughter “Sun Ray” to Moon.”
Rig Veda 10/85/9

Science of Eclipse in Vedas

“O Sun! When you are blocked by the one whom you gifted your own light (moon), then earth gets scared by sudden darkness.”
Rig Veda 5/40/5

Science of Building Ships and Aeroplanes in Vedas

Swami Dayanand has detailed Mantras regarding these in his Vedic commentary and Introduction to Vedas” (1876). The scientists of IISc concluded that the mechanism of the aeroplane as suggested by Dayanand is feasible. The first manned plane was built 20 years after the death of Swami Dayanand.

The verses are difficult to translate in English here, but readers are advised to review “Introduction to Vedas” by Swami Dayanand or interpretations of following mantras: Rig Veda 1/116/3, 1/116/4, 10/62/1, 1/116/5, 1/116/6, 1/34/2, 1/34/7, 1/48/8, etc.

Science of Telegraphy in Vedas

“With the help of bipolar forces (Asvins), you should employ telegraphic apparatus made of a good conductor of electricity. It is necessary for efficient military operations but should be used with caution.”
Rig Veda 1/119/10

Conclusion

I hope this would be sufficient to at least drive the need for further exploration of our scientific heritage originating from Vedas. Agniveer strongly recommends those who have been brainwashed to hate non-Muslims and especially Hindus for most silly reasons to introspect on this. Agniveer recommends they read our books on Vedas to get the right concepts of Vedas and stop this hatred in the name of religion that only makes them, even more, dumber!

Vedas clearly declare that either you can have hatred or intelligence, but not both!
May the truth prevail!
