went to delhi recently . nice trip and what not .

visited the national archives there . came to know a thing or two about indian history .

saw an original firman from emperor akbar actually granting land for temples in mathura .

i`ve never quite believed the propaganda of various parties in india claiming that there was eternal strife between hindus and muslims  .

some of their hindutva heroes including rana pratap were not anti muslim at all . rana pratap`s vanguard consisted of  exclusively pathans . shivaji maharaj fired his soldiers for insulting islaam . aurangzeb observed hindu rituals .

it was a rajput who captured shivaji maharaj and took him to the emperor`s court .

so long till next time
