Hind ki chadar: GURU TEG BAHADUR

Many people often ask that if Aurangzeb was so cruel against non muslims then how they are still in majority. Most probably they have no idea about the number of revolts and several defeats faced by Aurangzeb and his army. Dur to his policies he faced a number of revolts from JATS, RAJPOOTS,MARATHAS AND SIKHS. After Aurangzeb's death all of them emerged as a free State.

We have earlier read about the policies of Aurangzeb and his ideas which was written by Mustaid Khan(a close relative of Aurangzeb) in his book maasir-e-alamgiri 

( https://lostbharat.blogspot.com/2020/08/aurangzeb-temples-and-jaziya.html  )

From the above revolts the community That gives most sentimental sacrifices were the Sikhs. The story begins with the death of Guru Ramkishan(harkishan) in 1664 at very young age. He was succeeded by the 9th Guru Teg bahadur. As per the rule Guru went to Delhi to inform the emperor and to take his consent. But there he feel about some conspiracy against him and hence went to Bihar where the was gifted with a boy child who latter played a big role in Indian history, from there he moved to Assam. 


According to the poem written by Guru Gobind Singh in 1665 some kashmiri pandits come to him and asked for his help as large scale force conversion was taking place. Guru agreed and went to Delhi for a talk with Aurangzeb. But There he was accused of many false accusations and was asked to give up his religion. Guru refused and hence his head was chopped off. 

Some other sources also tells about quite similar incidents.

Latter to justify this murder some Parisian writers wrote that Guru was supporting a decoit who was looting local people. This story is not only illogical but also doesn't stands on facts as the decoit(Hafiz aadam) whose name is mentioned in the story had died many years before.

We must remember the great sacrifice of Guru Teg bahadur and must not forget the Vandalism done by Mughal emperor.  As there is a popular thought that  THOSE WHO FORGOT THEIR HISTORY HAVE NITHER PAST NOR FUTURE.

Maratha Empire: At its peak

 Maratha Empire plays a big role in indian history, it most powerful state and played the most important role in the decomposition of the Mughals. But they lack in unity which were responsible for founding an stable all-India empire. The empire was founded by Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, and was only remaining canker left by Aurangzeb (or he can't solve it) which ultimately become the most important reason for the downfall of the Mughals.  Although Marathas continued to increase their strength, but they could reach their glory at the time of Peshwa rule. Balaji vishwanath (1713) was the first Peshwa ( functional head) . He restored all the ancient parts of his Kingdom from Mughal, In return of 15000 men which helped Mughals in Deccan. Balaji divided the empire into between different sardars, which helped the empire in short run but ultimately become an important reason for its downfall. They were   1. Peshwa at Poona   2. Geakwad at Baroda   3. Sindhia at Gwalior   4. Holkar at Indo

Finally after 21days UN had decided to intervene between the ongoing Indo-Pak War 1965. But before that our troops did well in the Kashmir sector and captured the strategic HAZI PIR PASS. After the intervene both nation had declared ceasefire. Soviet union which by now anxious to make its presence in South Asia suggested Tashkent as a venue of talk between the two neighbors.  Russia knows the whole history of Kashmir and also about Sino-Indo war of 1962 hence he could not ask India to giveup more territory. Pakistan also have tried all method including war but couldn't get anything. Kosygin (then Russian president) told the two leaders about their neighbouring China which can take advantage of the war.  Kosygin wanted both India and Pakistan to seek a solution of all their problems on table and withdraw their troops to the position prior to the war. But On one hand Shastri Ji was not ready to withdraw the forces as he also told in indian parliament on the other General Ayub Khan wa

Other sons of Shahjahan thaught that he become partial towards Dara and revolted against the emperor.

Here Dara had done a big mis
