@achyutaanant @Banzaaraaa Yes, sir. In my view, being a Mughal is synonymous with being a tyrant. I respect your scholarship but this is where I beg to differ
I was actually quoting your opinion on Mughals where you praised Mughal Dara Shikoh and a video where you praised Prophet & Imam Ali (1/n)

@achyutaanant @Banzaaraaa I also accept your assessment that I cannot differentiate between "Dara Shukoh" & "Aurangzeb", between praiseworthy "Good Mughals" & condemnable "Bad Mughals".
In my eyes, all of them are invaders. The difference is only in intensity. I respect your views but I differ with you

@achyutaanant @Banzaaraaa You compared Prophet with Krishna, Gita with Quran. You talked about Gangi Jamuni composite culture. You also talked about peaceful Sufis and Gangi Jamuni Tehzeeb. In your own tweets and videos, you sang praises for Imam Ali
@achyutaanant @Banzaaraaa This formed my opinion and hence I referred to you as believer of Sarva Dharma Sambhav. That was the original stand of my tweet. If you don't stand by this or if I have misquoted you, please tell me. I have no intention to misrepresent you and I will gladly correct myself.
@achyutaanant @Banzaaraaa My original point was that you are ideologically very different. Which was why I asked the person to provide primary source instead of referring to you. I respect your scholarship but I don't subscribe to your ideology.
You were definitely not the point of discussion at all

@achyutaanant @Banzaaraaa Finally, there is no question that you are ideologically miles apart. And I will not blindly subscribe to your ideology. But I never intended to hurt you or slander you, I made that remark in the heat of the moment. You are elder to me. If my words hurt you, I apologize
@achyutaanant @Banzaaraaa I request others not to say anything about Dr. Shukla. It is my humble request
@achyutaanant @Banzaaraaa Correction: Dr. Shukla believes he has been misquoted. I accept his correction.
To avoid further misquoting, I will quote it verbatim
Dr Shukla "made a unique comparison between Gita with Quran with special emphasis on teachings of Lord Krishna and prophet Mohammad"

@achyutaanant @Banzaaraaa Dr. Shukla also doubted the authenticity of the Hindi snippet I provided where he talks about "Ganga Jamuni milan" of Islam parampara and Bharatiya parampara & peaceful Sufis
To assure him and others about the authenticity, I cite the link to his paper

@achyutaanant @Banzaaraaa As for my claim about Sufis, please see Dr. Shukla attending Sufi Mushaira and singing praises of Sufis in Persian.
And singing about Imam Ali before Ayatollah

@achyutaanant @Banzaaraaa Dr. Shukla blocked me after abusing me and calling me "filth".
This was after I apologised to him if my words ever hurt him and accepted every correction he demanded. I do not KNOW why he was so angry and abusive.
I wish him the best
