Indeed, Aurangzeb was not just any ordinary evil king - he epitomized the demonic savagery of Islamic fanaticism powered by hatred against infidel Hindu Kafirs. Aurangzeb was obsessed with such virulent hatred against Hindus that his official biography Maāsir-I-Ālamgiri itself lists him proudly destroying 300+ Hindu temples in Mewar in just one year alone (1680)! In his hateful quest to forcibly convert India into Dar-al-Islam, nothing was sacred. He desecrated innumerable Hindu gods, destroyed 1000s of temples including Hinduism's holiest shrines, and built ugly mosques on top of them. If you have the guts then read this entire thread detailing all his evil - entirely based on Islamic sources, and then do some soul searching for calling such a barbaric monster "Great".

Aurangzeb hated Hindus so much that he destroyed Mandirs even BEFORE becoming king! At the young age of 27, Aurangzeb destroyed the beautiful Chintaman temple, then forcibly converted it into a mosque & slaughtered a cow there. He then destroyed the temple of Khande Rai in Satara & proudly declared that he had gotten many temples in Gujarat demolished.

Aurangzeb was practically salivating to destroy the sacred Somnath Mandir, which he did early in his reign & when Hindus tried to rebuild it, the vitriolic monster ordered it to be completely annihilated. In 1661, he ordered all Hindu temples in Cooch Bihar to be destroyed & mosques built on top of them. His general Mir Jumla himself broke Bhagwan Narayan's image with an axe.

The insidious agenda and lack of academic integrity of Ruchika Sharma, PhD in history from JNU & self-proclaimed academic expert, stands thoroughly exposed when we analyze her peer-reviewed paper (bit.ly/4h1tcSv) in the Journal of Archaeological Studies in India. Let's deconstruct her paper claim by fallacious claim and scrutinize it against factual evidence. I have created a summary table for easy reference. Please read entire thread for full details.🧵

False Assertion 1: Ruchika's primary claim in her paper is that Malwa Sultan Mahmud Khalji built a grand Islamic general hospital (Dar-us-Shifa) at Mandu, MP in 1443 CE which she identifies with an existing monument called “Gada Shah’s Shop” in Mandu. (Img 2)

Reality: Shockingly, Ruchika deliberately leaves out contradictory evidence from her OWN cited source (Ghulam, Yazdani (1929), Mandu: The City of Joy) which states that the structure Ruchika tries to misappropriate as an Islamic hospital was actually the royal Durbar/audience hall of Hindu Rajput King Medini Rai. (Img 3: Yazdani, p. 28, 79) Gada Shah is none other than Medini Rai. Medini Rai’s Durbar Hall was later called Gada Shah’s Shop by the Muslims. Rajput Medini Rai overthrew Mahmud Khalji’s son Mahmud 2 and ruled Mandu as a vassal of Rana Sangha from 1519 - 1528 CE. Ruchika’s source Yazdani also points out that both Gada Shah’s Shop (which she claims is Khalji’s hospital) and Gada Shah’s House (Palace) were built AFTER Khalji’s death by Medini Rai in the same architectural style. Two huge mural paintings of Medini Rai and his queen are still to be seen in Gada Shah’s House. The world-famous German art historian Dr. Hermann Goetz, an expert on Indo-Persian architecture, also clearly identified Gada Shah’s Shop and Gada Shah’s Palace as Rajput Medini Rai’s Durbar/Audience hall and palace residence in Mandu. (Img 4: Goetz)

Thread Continues....🧵

False Assertion 2: Ruchika’s entire identification of Medini Rai’s Durbar (Gada Shah’s Shop) with Khalji’s Islamic hospital is based on her personal architectural observations that the building is divided into two chambers which she assumes represent separate male and female patient chambers. She also cites that the “existence of small rooms but also big halls” matches Khalji’s Islamic hospital. (Img 5)

Reality: Ruchika’s own Islamic sources don’t even specify whether the hospital was located in Mandu. Her unsupported conjectural claim again completely ignores her own source Yazdani who points out that Medini Rai’s Durbar (now known as Gada Shah’s Shop) was built for the purpose of serving as a grand audience hall (durbar). In fact her source Yazdani even specifies that it was a Durbar-i-aam built for granting audience to the public while the nearby Hindōl Mahal served the purpose of a Durbar-i-Khas (Audience hall for select assemblies). (Img 7) This explains exactly why the architecture has such grand arches and separate small rooms because they were often built as showpieces of royal prestige. The usage of such grand arches makes no sense for the purpose of a building built as a hospital. Like Yazdani, Dr. Goetz also clearly states that Gada Shah’s Shop (Medini Rai’s Durbar) has “massive sloping buttresses because of the lateral pressure of the huge arches supporting the roof of the Audience Room”. (Img 8) Even the ASI website clearly labels the structure as an audience hall. Yet Ruchika ignores all this insurmountable proof, and makes the bizarre claim that this was Khalji’s Islamic hospital without a shred of objective evidence.

Thread Continues....🧵

3/7
False Assertion # 3: Ruchika’s Islamic source mentions a Hammam (Bath house) adjoining Khalji’s hospital. But since no such structure exists near Medini Rai’s durbar (Gada Shah’s Shop) - Ruchika claims that “scattered remains of a tank exist … which could have been the bath houses (hammam) that Shihab Hakim (1968, p. 64) points to.” She also claims the building is far away from the palace area but in close proximity to Khalji’s other buildings like the Madrasa and the Jama Masjid. (Img 9)

Reality: We can refer directly to Google Maps which clearly demonstrate that the only water tanks/reservoirs near Medini Rai’s durbar (Gada Shah’s Shop) are the Ujala baodi, the Prachin Hindu Baodi and Kapur tank. These were all obviously built as reservoirs for the Durbar halls and palaces and show no evidence of being used as Hammams. (Img 10) Google Maps also busts Ruchika’s false claim that her so-called “hospital” is located near Khalji’s Masjid & Madrasa. As can be clearly seen on the map, Medini Rai’s durbar (Gada Shah’s Shop) is a good distance away from the cluster of Khalji’s buildings which are further South. (Img 11) Clearly there is no evidence of any Hammam near Medini Rai’s durbar, but there are Hindus Baodis (wells) and Water tanks (Kapur tank). Thus Ruchika’s desperate attempt to retrofit her utterly flawed claim by misrepresenting geographical facts falls flat on its face.

Talk about a nasty bag full of distortions and outright lies. That Shree Rama existed centuries before Buddha was even born is attested directly by authentic Buddhist sources themselves. I will methodically dissect and disprove every deceptive claim by fact checking it against authoritative and authentic sources. Please read all parts of the entire thread to the end including the screenshots which provide crucial evidence. 🧵

Claim # 1:
Ram is a mythological character, whereas Buddha was a real historical figure—there’s simply no comparison.

Fact: False. This claim is disproven by the oldest & most authoritative Buddhist biography of Buddha’s life itself - Aśvaghoṣa’s (2nd c.) Buddhacharita. The Buddhacharita documents that Buddha belonged to the same Suryavanshi Ikshvaku dynasty as Rama; it pays homage to Valmiki as the Adikavi and mentions Janaka too. After he renounces his family, Buddha’s father sends a wise advisor to the forest to try & convince him to return back home. The advisor tries to persuade him to return by mentioning Rama as an example - as someone from older times, who returned after penance in forests to protect his kingdom against evil. In response Buddha himself says he cannot do what Rama did & refuses to return. This clearly proves that Rama was already revered as an ancient historical personality to be emulated in Buddha’s times.

Claim # 2: Buddha was not a descendant of Ram because Ram never existed in reality.

Fact: False. Disproved by the very first chapter on Buddha’s Birth in the authoritative biography Buddhacharita which records that Buddha was a descendant of the Suryavanshi Ikshvaku dynasty - from the same lineage to which Rama belonged millennia before him. An even older account of Buddha’s ancestral family tree is found in the Buddhist text Mahāvastu, a composite multi-life hagiography of the Buddha (2nd c. BCE) which details how the sons of Ikshvaku built Kapilavastu and were the forefathers of the Shakyas - the clan of the Buddha.

Claim #3: In fact, Buddha lived long before the Valmiki Ramayana was compiled.

Fact: False. We already know that Rama lived many millennia before Buddha from irrefutable evidence in the Ramayana itself & many other Hindu texts.Authoritative Buddhist texts like Mahavamsa also clearly record the Shakya clan as part of Suryavanshi Ikshvaku dynasty with the line of succession from Rishi Sagara to Dasharatha & Rama who lived many generations before Suddhodana (Buddha’s father). Moreover Princeton historian, Robert Goldman's comprehensive comparative analysis of the Ramayana proves that the descriptions of history & geography of Kosala in the Ramayana clearly reflect an era BEFORE the Buddha thus dating it prior to 5th c. BCE (time of Buddha) even by Western standards. His work is considered the most comprehensive & authoritative Western analysis of Ramayana’s historicity. As mentioned before the Buddhacharita also testifies to Valmiki already being revered as the ancient Adi Kavi during Buddha's era.

Kamal Khan explaining Mughal history is like a chihuahua barking - ear-splittingly irritating, wildly off-key, but you can’t help but watch the spectacle.
Of course the Mughals didn't "harm any community", they just built Minars out of Kafir skulls to show how much they cared for all communities and considered all Indians equal.

These "loving community building" exercises started with Timur's first entry into Hindustan, when he attacked the Hindu kingdom of Kator extending from Kashmir to Kabul. In his autobiography “Tuzak-I-Timuri” Timur describes building tall towers of skulls of “obstinate unbelievers” after raping & enslaving women & kids & plundering towns to dust (May, 1398 CE). The Zafarnama of Sharafuddin Ali Yazdi (Iran, 1425 CE) has a painting which shows how Timur took tribute from soldiers, while an Islamic Minar built out of dead Kafir’s heads looms behind him.

His Mughal descendants like Babur, Akbar, Shah Jahan kept up this grand tradition and built their own towers of Kafir skulls to show their caring loving hearts.

Read the full thread to know more.🧵

The next Mughal, Babur, practically salivated with delight at the prospect of killing Hindus & scattering them like “teased wool & broken bubbles on wine”. He built several Minars out of Hindu heads, during battles in the Doab, near Agra & Chanderi to name a few. So overjoyed was Babur with his bloody crimes that he waxed eloquent poetry about killing Kafirs in praise of God. After creating Minars out of their heads, he proudly declared himself a “Ghazi” as his official imperial title - a term which means “Victorious over the enemies of Islam”

You mention Birbal from the court of the Great “secular” Akbar, who occupied Delhi & Agra in true Mughal tradition by building towers of Hindu heads. He did the same in his conquest of Ahmedabad. He rewarded his commander Khan-i-Khanan (Bairam Khan), for building “8 sky high Minarets of Hindu heads” in Bengal. A painting in the illustrated Akbarnama shows Akbar at the 2nd battle of Panipat, in 1556 CE, where Bairam Khan & Akbar colluded to treacherously behead Hemu. It depicts “Ghazi” Akbar & his army stacking up heads of Hemu's soldiers into a tower/Minar of victory over Islam’s enemies.

Monument of Love - my foot!

Niccolao Manucci an Italian doctor who worked in Shah Jahan's Mughal court described his "lovin'" ways in his memoirs. He revealed that lover boy Shah Jahan shared his bed with 1000s of women besides Mumtaz, many of whom were his own courtier's wives!

Read to the end 🧵

2
Shah Jahan's courtiers Ja'far Khan & Khalil Khan's wives were his favorites. Ja'far Khan's wife was called Shah Jahan's "breakfast" & Khalil Khan's wife his "lunch". Ja'far's wife was Shah Jahan's sister-in-law & Khali's wife was his niece through marriage to Mumtaz. Ja'far's wife had to beg for her husband's life

3
Asaf Khan was Mumtaz Mahal's father. Ja'far Khan was Mumtaz's aunt's son & his wife was her sister-in-law, while Khalil Khan was married to Asaf Khan's granddaughter who was Mumtaz's niece. One can imagine how much love Shah Jahan had for Mumtaz that he molested her own family.
