Since people are mindlessly trending #ThanksMughals to celebrate invaders and tyrants, here is the real data.

India's GDP *declined* under Mughal rule as a percent of world GDP from Hindu India. Of course, British invaders were even worse, but that is small consolation.
Mughals also drained and sent away loads of wealth. Plus they brought slave markets to India and enslaved and raped millions of women and children.

Finally, as far as "Taj Mahal" goes, there is a reasonable debate on whether it was built by Shah Jahan. Whether or not that is true, one thing is clear—Mughals did not bring any architectural skills. Whatever was built was skill of Indian craftspeople.

The sheer stupidity of trending #ThanksMughals ! Mughals were invaders, barbarers who killed millions and forcibly converted millions.

#ThanksMughals for rapes, massacres, forcible conversions? Hindus were successful after a 1200-year war. It is Marathas who liberated most of India, not British. Read this article for the REAL history of India historyofmuslimattacks.blogspot.com/2013/02/islam-… Know Vijaynagar & other kingdoms (2)
It will be a surprise to most readers who have been fed on the establishment history books to know that it is the Hindus who resisted the onslaught of Arabs for over two centuries (from 636 to 870 AD) unlike the regions west and north of Arabia which succumbed immediately.(3)

In fact IDLI (the fav food of the Madrassis, is a gift to India from the Mughals.

How many of us know about the modern day Mughal Princess, Ms Kushboo, after whom a new Idli type has been named?

The famous Sambar, THE soup of the South India was a gift of the Mughals too!

Unfortunately, the South Indian fellows do not even have the courtesy to acknowledge that, even while slurping megalitres of the tasty stuff... #ThanksMughals Image
