The holocaust of Hindus that hasn't found a place in
History books!

excsadmin6i@6i June 27, 2017

The holocaust we're referring to is that of the Hindus of
India which hasn't found a place in history. This genocide
occurred at the hands of the Arabs, Turks, Mughals and
Afghans.

It isn't that nothing has been written on the holocaust,
there is a lot of information available. But yet it isn't
remembered or recalled in today's times as much as it
should.

Even though this holocaust is rarely talked about, certain
historians and eyewitnesses have mentioned about the
brutality that Hindus of India were victims of.

Following are some of the quotes from modern historians –

Dr. Koenraad Elst in his article, "Was There an Islamic
Genocide of Hindus?" states:

"There is no official estimate of the total death toll of
Hindus at the hands of Islam. A first glance at important
testimonies by Muslim chroniclers suggests that, over 13
centuries and a territory as vast as the Subcontinent,
Muslim Holy Warriors easily killed more Hindus than the 6
million of the Holocaust. Ferishtha lists several occasions
when the Bahmani sultans in central India (1347-1528)
killed a hundred thousand Hindus, which they set as a
minimum goal whenever they felt like punishing the Hindus;
and they were only a third-rank provincial dynasty.

The biggest slaughters took place during the raids of
Mahmud Ghaznavi (ca. 1000 CE); during the actual conquest
of North India by Mohammed Ghori and his lieutenants (1192
ff.); and under the Delhi Sultanate (1206-1526)."

He writes in his book "Negation in India":

"The Muslim conquests, down to the 16th century, were for
the Hindus a pure struggle of life and death. Entire cities
were burnt down and the populations massacred, with
hundreds of thousands killed in every campaign, and similar
numbers deported as slaves. Every new invader made (often
literally) his hills of Hindus skulls. Thus, the conquest
of Afghanistan in the year 1000 was followed by the
annihilation of the Hindu population; the region is still
called the Hindu Kush, i.e. Hindu slaughter."

Will Durant argued in his 1935 book "The Story of
Civilisation: Our Oriental Heritage" (page 459):

"The Mohammedan conquest of India is probably the bloodiest
story in history. The Islamic historians and scholars have
recorded with great glee and pride the slaughters of
Hindus, forced conversions, abduction of Hindu women and
children to slave markets and the destruction of temples
carried out by the warriors of Islam during 800 AD to 1700
AD. Millions of Hindus were converted to Islam by sword
during this period."

Francois Gautier in his book 'Rewriting Indian History'
(1996) wrote:

"The massacres perpetuated by Muslims in India are
unparalleled in history, bigger than the Holocaust of the
Jews by the Nazis; or the massacre of the Armenians by the
Turks; more extensive even than the slaughter of the South
American native populations by the invading Spanish and
Portuguese."

Writer Fernand Braudel in – 'A History of Civilisations
(1995)' – described Islamic rule in India as a:

"colonial experiment" was "extremely violent", and "the
Muslims could not rule the country except by systematic
terror. Cruelty was the norm – burnings, summary
executions, crucifixions or impalements, inventive
tortures. Hindu temples were destroyed to make way for
mosques. On occasion there were forced conversions. If ever
there were an uprising, it was instantly and savagely
repressed: houses were burned, the countryside was laid
waste, men were slaughtered and women were taken as
slaves."

Alain Danielou in his book, Histoire de l' Inde writes:

"From the time Muslims started arriving, around 632 AD, the
history of India becomes a long, monotonous series of
murders, massacres, spoliation, and destruction. It is, as
usual, in the name of 'a holy war' of their faith, of their
sole God, that the barbarians have destroyed civilizations,
wiped out entire races."

Irfan Husain in his article "Demons from the Past"
observes:

"While historical events should be judged in the context of
their times, it cannot be denied that even in that bloody
period of history, no mercy was shown to the Hindus
unfortunate enough to be in the path of either the Arab
conquerors of Sindh and south Punjab, or the Central Asians
who swept in from Afghanistan... The Muslim heroes who
figure larger than life in our history books committed some
dreadful crimes. Mahmud of Ghazni, Qutb-ud-Din Aibak,
Balban, Mohammed bin Qasim, and Sultan Mohammad Tughlak,
all have blood-stained hands that the passage of years has
not cleansed..Seen through Hindu eyes, the Muslim invasion
of their homeland was an unmitigated disaster.

"Their temples were razed, their idols smashed, their women
raped, their men killed or taken slaves. When Mahmud of
Ghazni entered Somnath on one of his annual raids, he
slaughtered all 50,000 inhabitants. Aibak killed and
enslaved hundreds of thousands. The list of horrors is long
and painful. These conquerors justified their deeds by
claiming it was their religious duty to smite non-
believers. Cloaking themselves in the banner of Islam, they
claimed they were fighting for their faith when, in
reality, they were indulging in straightforward slaughter
and pillage..."

The book 'Tarikh-i-Yamini' – written by Mahmud Al Ghazni's
secretary documents several episodes of his bloody military
campaigns :

"The blood of the infidels flowed so copiously [at the
Indian city of Thanesar] that the stream was discoloured,
notwithstanding its purity, and people were unable to drink
it... the infidels deserted the fort and tried to cross the
foaming river... but many of them were slain, taken or
drowned.... Nearly fifty thousand men were killed."

Alauddin Khilji once asked his spiritual advisor (or
'Qazi') as to what was the Islamic law prescribed for the
Hindus. The Qazi replied:

"Hindus are like the mud; if silver is demanded from them,
they must with the greatest humility offer gold. If a
Mohammadan desires to spit into a Hindu's mouth, the Hindu
should open it wide for the purpose. God created the Hindus
to be slaves of the Mohammadans. The Prophet hath ordained
that, if the Hindus do not accept Islam, they should be
imprisoned, tortured, finally put to death, and their
property confiscated."

Timur Lane was another devil in man's skin. During his
campaign in India, he describes the scene when his army
conquered the Indian city of Delhi:

"In a short space of time all the people in the [Delhi]
fort were put to the sword, and in the course of one hour
the heads of 10,000 infidels were cut off. The sword of
Islam was washed in the blood of the infidels, and all the
goods and effects, the treasure and the grain which for
many a long year had been stored in the fort became the
spoil of my soldiers.

"They set fire to the houses and reduced them to ashes, and
they razed the buildings and the fort to the ground.... All
these infidel Hindus were slain, their women and children,
and their property and goods became the spoil of the
victors. I proclaimed throughout the camp that every man
who had infidel prisoners should put them to death, and
whoever neglected to do so should himself be executed and
his property given to the informer. When this order became
known to the ghazis of Islam, they drew their swords and
put their prisoners to death."

The Afghan ruler Ahmad Shah Abdali attacked India in 1757
AD and made his way to the holy Hindu city of Mathura, the
Bethlehem of the Hindus and birthplace ofKrishna.The
atrocities that followed are recorded in the contemporary
chronicle called 'Tarikh-I-Alamgiri' :

"Abdali's soldiers would be paid 5 Rupees (a sizeable
amount at the time) for every enemy head brought in. Every
horseman had loaded up all his horses with the plundered
property, and atop of it rode the girl-captives and the
slaves. The severed heads were tied up in rugs like bundles
of grain and placed on the heads of the captives... Then
the heads were stuck upon lances and taken to the gate of
the chief minister for payment.

"It was an extraordinary display! Daily did this manner of
slaughter and plundering proceed. And at night the shrieks
of the women captives who were being raped, deafened the
ears of the people.... All those heads that had been cut
off were built into pillars, and the captive men upon whose
heads those bloody bundles had been brought in, were made
to grind corn, and then their heads too were cut off. These
things went on all the way to the city of Agra, nor was any
part of the country spared."

These aren't exhaustive accounts. The atrocities of Islamic
rulers on Hindus of India has filled books. Yet, today the
world completely ignores the loss of these millions of
lives.

Indian historian and professor K.S. Lal estimates that the
Hindu population in India decreased by 80 million between
1000 AD and 1525 AD. Such an unprecedented loss of lives
remains unparalleled in history.
