Shah Jahan pretended to be mad in mourning after Mumtaz Mahal’s death. To soothe himself, he tried sleeping around with innumerable sex-slaves and expanded his harem with more women. But all this did not work.
Jahan Ara was 17 when Mumtaz Mahal died. She resembled Mumtaz Mahal remarkably. As per historians and European travellers, she was very beautiful, sensuous and had an attractive figure.
Shah Jahan is said to have seen Mumtaz Mahal in her daughter.
He came with a wonderful excuse and quote of the millennium: “Why must a gardener not enjoy the fruits of the plant he has planted!” This can become the ultimate slogan for every pervert in this world.
He made a nubile Jahan Ara fulfil the duties of her mother to take out her father from mourning. He also saw to it that Jahan Ara did not interact with any other male. If anyone did, he was killed.
He appointed Jahan Ara the head of his royal harem (brothel). It took two years to come out of mourning and by that time Jahan Ara was in her clutches.
Killed daughter’s boyfriends
Jahan Ara was a liberal girl. She would enjoy drinking and spending nights with eligible guys. On one occasion, Shah Jahan got to know about it. He went to his room in night. The poor guy hid into the bathroom. Shah Jahan ordered his eunuchs to kill him.
On another occasion, he hugged a guy who had proposed to Jahan Ara. Then he gave him a Paan (betel leaf) to eat. By the time the fellow crossed the doors of Durbar to ride on his coach, he had collapsed and died.
Helpless Jahan Ara
By the time Jahan Ara matured, she realised that she has no other choice but to be his father’s intimate daughter. An ugly four-sided battle for next emperor was brewing among her brothers.
She chose to side with Dara Shikoh – the most liberal of the four – so that she can get out of clutches. But he was killed by Aurangzeb.
Finally, she was imprisoned along with Shah Jahan. The bastard got a taste of his own medicine in his last days. But he still had Jahan Ara to solace her and act as his wife, Mumtaz Mahal.
Aftermath
After Shah Jahan had died, Jahan Ara knew she would have to die unless she does something. She accepted her fate and surrendered to Aurangzeb’s lust. When father had abused her, why prohibit brother and die? In any case, at a mature age, there was no option to find any suitor who would flee away with her.
She ‘reconciled’ with Aurangzeb. The skeptic Aurangzeb ‘tested’ her loyalty properly. Despite knowing that she sided with Dara Shikoh, he trusted her so much as to appoint her the head of his royal harem (brothel) like her father. She was now to choose the best of best women for her brother and manage the brothel whose size was largest in the history of the Mughal rule so far.
Aurangzeb also allowed her to stay separately in her own palace. He would visit her or call her when needed.
Jahan Ara is supposed to have accepted her fate, consider her body as a carcass, and get into spiritual aspects.
She did not marry despite being the most beautiful and had no official offsprings.
When an Indian politician Mohammad recently said “Rape is common between father and daughter,” it reminds us of Jahan Ara. And countless Jahan Aras who have been victims of their own father’s lust since ages. And continue to be exploited by pervert fathers and lustful brothers. They have accepted it as their fate.
But should we stay silent just to preserve the aura of Golden Mughal era?
CHAPTER 7
AURANGZEB - A BRUTAL TYRANT
If we go by facts, and not feel-good fairy-tales, all Mughal rulers from Babur to Aurangzeb were no different from Osama Bin Laden (Al Qaeda Chief), Baghdadi (ISIS Chief), and Mullah Omar (Taliban Chief). If these modern terror outfits can keep control for a long period, probably the textbooks of subjugated territories will also hail them as heroes. And roads will carry their names long after they are gone. And then, many imprisoned minds will vehemently protest against any insults to these role-models, simply because their brains have been hopelessly patterned since childhood to sprain with pain at even the hint of their deeply-held fantasies being fantasies.
India, however, chose to display the will to break away from this mental captivity by renaming Aurangzeb Road to APJ Abdul Kalam Road. The shame we carried for years in the name of one of the most notorious terrorists ever in history has been replaced with pride in the name of a hero whose entire life was dedicated to fight against terror.
But there are many more whose minds are not free, and heads are not held high. For them, replacing a terrorist with the hero is unfortunate because Aurangzeb himself was a ‘hero’ and ‘history cannot be changed’. I wonder what their views had been if a road and memorial was named on someone who raped, killed, and looted their own family!
People like me, who consider India to be a mother, and every innocent Indian to be family, can never understand such cockroach minds.
Cockroaches are indeed most beautiful creatures. They are true survivors. They have existed since the beginning and will never go extinct. Meat, sweets, stool – they can eat everything. It is a beautiful dark-brown creature with slender antennae and compound eyes that can sense everything. The silky wings can glide, and the spiny delicate legs can walk on everything. They rule the world of darkness. Harsh temperatures, hunger, or pesticides – they adapt to everything. Only a gifted can become a cockroach.
Our freedom fighters were anti-thesis of a cockroach. They sacrificed their happiness, families, and lives for their ideals and vision. Survival was the lowest priority for these legends. They would not tolerate rule of invaders who rape and kill.
But cockroaches can go to any extent to survive. They would rally behind funeral of a bomber. They would glorify murderers and invaders. They would see a hero in a terrorist. For such minds, here are glimpses from ‘historic heroism’ of Aurangzeb that cannot be changed. I hope this brings some sense of shame, if not outright change in thought patterns.
Respect for women
Aurangzeb had 1000 sex-slaves in his harem. (Akbar had 5000, and Jahangir 6000. That means Aurangzeb was six times less pervert!). Almost all of them were Hindu women. They were either kidnapped or purchased or swapped or forced into prostitution.
ISIS is glorifying the same legacy – exploit unlimited non-Muslim women in the night and serve the cause of Allah, then wake up at 4 am for prayers and again serve the cause of Allah! Meanwhile, follow the divine order of having only four official Muslim wives to yet again serve the cause of Allah! So that 72 virgins are allotted in Heaven as rewards for serving the cause of Allah!
Mistress Swapping
Aurangzeb fell in love with Zainabadi Mahal (Hindu girl – Hira Bai) who was the concubine of his uncle Saif Khan, the governor of Burhanpur. The aunt arranged the swap deal between God-fearing nephew and uncle. Thus, Hira Bai was exchanged with Chatter Bai, the Hindu concubine of Aurangzeb.
Both heroes upheld the dignity of Islam as well as their delicate relationship. As per these heroes, ISIS, IRF, Taliban, and other Islamists, it is completely Islamic to have as many concubines as one can afford. It is completely Islamic to abduct non-Muslim women, enhance brand equity through mega-harems and create innovative exchange offers, cash-back schemes, auctions, sales and buy one get two free deals to better serve the customers of flesh.
Scientists like APJ Abdul Kalam, who were too busy serving the cause of nation to think of exploiting women, are not even considered Muslims by these prophets. No wonder, when Dr. Kalam died, no prominent Muslim leader issued even a condolence.
Family Killer
Continuing the age-old tradition of Islamic zombies who murdered even the family of revered Prophet, Aurangzeb killed his father and three brothers to capture the throne.
He knew his own deeds as well as those of his forefathers. So he arrested his own (legal) son and declared in his will, “Never trust your sons!” (The number of non-legal sons through concubines is a question of historical speculation and som
e simple analytics.)
Destroyed temples and gurudwaras
Aurangzeb destroyed countless temples, gurdwaras, and schools because he believed Hindus to be worst of creatures. Kashi Vishwanath temple, Kesava Deo temple (birthplace of Lord Krishna), and Somnath Temple were three prominent shrines, among countless others, that had to face his hatred for Hindus. Babur had already destroyed the Ram Temple of Ayodhya in memory of his gay partner Babri.
Beheaded Guru Tegh Bahadur
He brutally beheaded the Sikh Guru Tegh Bahadur because the Guru refused to convert to Islam even after his associates were murdered in front of his eyes. He spent his entire life-fighting Guru Gobind Singh. He killed many Sufis because, like ISIS and Al Qaeda, he believed Sufis to be anti-Islamic.
Forced Conversion in Kashmir
Aurangzeb put a special focus on forced conversion in Kashmir because it was the most prominent seat of Hinduism since ancient times. The Hindus were forced to choose between death & rape, and Islam. The exodus of Kashmiri Pandits began since then. Guru Tegh Bahadur championed the cause of Hindus and was given the same choice. He happily chose to die. But his legacy ensured that the brutal Mughal rule died down within no time. Today, the children of these terrorists like Babur and Aurangzeb are begging on platforms of Lucknow and Howrah station.
Jizyah tax on Hindus
Aurangzeb imposed Jizyah tax on Hindus as a price to live without embracing Islam. When a group of peaceful Hindus protested, he had them trampled under elephants.
Ban on Diwali
He banned fireworks and imposed a restriction on the celebration of Diwali.
Agenda of Hinduism destruction
Hindus were banned from riding horses, travelling in Palkis, and riding elephants because they are not at the same status as Muslims.
He announced rewards and honors for those Hindus who converted to Islam.

CHAPTER 8
BLOODY 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.
