6:30 Like the Mughals, I am of Muslism heritage (and happen to know Arabic, Persian, and Turkish) *and* at the same time I am a student of Sanskrit and deeply interested in classical Indian literature (particularly Indian philosophy). So I'm happy to report, Audrey, that Muslims are still interested in Sanskrit!
dude no one projected this as a debate, its a talk. do you really think you know more history than these women who've spent literally all their lives studying it? cool.
They want to sip chai and pay odes to Mughal genocides against Indians , and imagining how good they would have had it with the Padshah ravishing them in his harem.
@@ArrowBast that's what history and academia demands of its students. To look without personal bias. Be understanding of Duryodhan, Kansa, Ravana, Taimur, Aurangzeb, East India Company, Hitler etc etc. Just like students of social sciences and psychology have to understand rapists, psychopaths, cannibals and serial killers. It goes beyond personal favorites. We non academia people can label history characters as fraudsters/greatest ruler/plunderers/looters, they unfortunately can't.
@@meghnachoudhury1622 Academia should also have its fair share of critics, free speech is not just a privilege of Academia, especially whitewashing or glossing over atrocities.
Hindustan became rich after mughal's arrival or much before 1000 AD invasions from middle east? Audrey casually puts that Indo kings were destroying and desecrating temples. So this destroying places of worship to show "power" is only limited to hindu temples or also muslim mosques?? How many masjid / mosques were destroyed or desecrated by hindu kings? Did the nice wonderful mughals construct any hindu temples in the areas they migrated from??
My friend you have no idea what mughal has done to people, just go and read some history from an unbiased point of view not from a propagandist like Audrey Truschke!
They are mughal apologist not historian.. Ask her if temple distruction was political and nothing to do with religion then how many mosque did he destroyed?
@@saimtanweer5720 So? 1 irrilavant mosque vs mathura, ayodhya, Varanasi? Come with better excuse for butchery of aurangzeb did he destroy jama masjid of hyderabad when he captured it? No!
@@ramraghuwanshi2562 I'm not giving excuses Temple have a value for Hindus than mosque were for Muslim Mosque was just a congregational prayer place for Muslim but temple were the power house from where rebels used to start against the kingdom ,and the idol used to be seen as God in material , so where ever any King has to supress the revolt or defeat any other kingdom they used to destroy the idol which would destroy the moral of the army seeing the God been broken Even Hindu king prior to Islam practiced it Read about it in books of Richard Eaton who has written books on temple destruction So it was natural for Aurangzeb to move on that method which originated from Hindu kings this is not butchery
Read the Islamic invaders' and mughal rulers' own historians e.g quote from the Tazjiyatu L Amsar (historical chronicle of conquests of Alauddin Khilji): ''''They went by daily marches through the hills, from stage to stage, and when they arrived at their destination at early dawn they surrounded Kambdyat, and the idolaters were awakened from their sleepy state of carelessness and were taken by surprise, not knowing where to go, and mothers forgot their children and dropped them from their embrace. The Muhammadan forces began to "kill and slaughter on the right and on the left unmercifully, throughout the impure land, for the sake of Islam," and blood flowed in torrents.''
I seriously wish Ira Mukhoty was around when Aurangzeb had released his reign of terror against Hindus and Sikhs and women.....then I would like to see what she has to say about her love affair with this bastard......
@@salmafarooqi4732 Know that already! Chandragupta Maurya, Ashoka, and Harshavardhan had already united India long before the Mughals were even born on this Earth! And these were benevolent kings. The Mughals were bloodthirsty despots, nothing more! Perhaps they don't teach this history in Pakistan......

The Mughal empire was among the richest in the world with the greatest number of poor citizens, with 61.5% of the total revenue being for just 655 individuals during Shah Jahan's reign and 30% for top 25 during Akbar's reign, with the emperor himself taking anywhere from 5-25, as described by Abraham Eraly in his book 'The Mughal World'
Not all mugals embraced sanskrit. Most of them Saw sanskrit as ENTERTAINMENT and Personal scholar Stuff.BUT NEVER WANT to ACCEPT SANSKRIT AS SPIRITUAL OR GREAT BOOKS OF EXPLORING SUPERNATURAL THING. ZEE Jaipur Lit FEstival is MAINLY HATING Hindus by HINDUs rather than Loving Muslim Rulers. Why North Indians mostly inscure about history all the time?. If it is academic stuff . Why Can't Just Dig the Muslim rulers of SOUTH INDIAN also and their contribution to Mankind. Dara Shiko Was brutally killed because he embraced the Hindu Texts. We Got AURANGAJEB a great muslim ruler who butured lot of people because they are Hindus. Sikhs Stood as security to all week Hindus who happens to be majority.
Fantastic panel. So knowledgeable and articulate, each of these women. So wonderful that popular history writing is in such able hands. Special mention for the adroit moderation.

Aurangzeb made India richer and was the first to defeat the British (Anglo-Mughal war) and he never considered the royal treasury to be his possessions

The Dehra of Keshava Rai was demolished in the month of Ramzan, 1080 A.H. (13th January - 11th February 1670) by Aurangzeb’s order. “In a short time, by the great exertion of the officers, the destruction of this strong foundation of infidelity was accomplished and on its site a lofty mosque was built at the expenditure of a large sum.” To the author of Maasir-i-‘Alamigiri, the accomplishment of this “seemingly impossible work was an “instance of the strength of the Emperor’s faith.” Even more disgraceful was transporting the idols to Agra and burying them under the steps of the mosque of the Begum Sahib “in order to be continually trodden upon.” He even changed the name of the sacred city of Mathura, held in highest respect by the Hindus since time immemorial, to Islamabad, revealing his utter insensitivity towards their feelings.
What nonsense, India was far richer before the Mughals came...why do you think they came in the first place? India has the richest soil, temperature that protected all year farming, science and tech was of the highest order. All these conquers stole first then they did a few good things so suddenly they are great! BS...all the other conquerors came for India's wealth, no one could cultivate as much as Indians could and so they paid is gold and previous stones. Don't let your religions affinity overtake common sense and greatness of this country.
@@Awk_potats Right, they brought all their riches to share with Indians, it of the goodness of their heart.... How dumb or you out of your religion clothing your thinking? There are tons of proofs that India was very rich, do some research, many people that traveled knew that, spices alone was making them the business destination. But of course you won't study any credible source, your religion should come first!
First the panelists's back ground especially cultural , nationality,the relevant books read (list important), formal education, (from which University), past and present (dual) nationality, present and past profession, must be printed out and given to the audience.complete names of the panelist (any changes of all kind) will go a long way in understanding their perspective. This will undoubtedly prepare the audience what to expect. the audience will be generally well informed given the subject.one cannot rule out better scholarship and objective stand among many of the listeners.
Fantastic discussion by a scholarly panel. I hope India continues to produce these kind of scholars, especially women scholars, who rise beyond the hindutva propaganda.
*The Dehra of Keshava Rai was demolished in the month of Ramzan, 1080 A.H.

But Fraudrey would have us believe otherwise. only slavish minded gentoos buy the shit peddled by this missionary agent Turushki.
She wants to incite a civil war between Hindus and Muslims by spinning pseudo-Historical narratives or minimizing the true extent of Anti Hindu pogroms
Her argument is only that he had political and image management motivations, because he seemed less bigoted in other instances. She's not inciting war, you hypersensitive nationalists are busy doing that already
@@lazypops3117 oops! sorry My judgemental lord for failing to understand the invisible nuances of an all-round bigot who unfortunately left chronicles detailing his barbarity. :XD
@@vijnanabandhu2167 and still you wouldn't call ashoka a bigot, despite his officers who would enforce a strict following of the "dhamma" on women engaging in "superstitious rituals". It's also why you kids can never correctly appreciate the discipline of history, or any academic study.
Very sad to see a historian support barbarism ...guru teg bahadur was never a part of rebellious army...it was his son Guru Gobind Singh and also after guru teg bahadurs martyrdom
मुग़ल बादशाहों ने गरीब लोगों के लिए पिकनिक स्पॉट बनाये हैं, अौर अमीर लोगों के लिए बिरयानी और चिकन टिक्का। 37:37 पर मेडम कहती हैं कि अब हम हमारी फारसी भाषा नहीं सीख रहे हैं। फारसी भाषा सीखने से हम जान पाते कि औरंगज़ेब को आम बहुत पसंद थे। और यह भी कि जहांगीर बहुत बड़ा प्रकृति प्रेमी था। कम अक्ल के लोगों को मात्र यह दिखता है कि जहांगीर ने गद्दी पर बैठते ही शरियत कानून लागू करने का आश्वासन दिया था, गुरु अर्जुन देव जी को मारा, कांगड़ा को तबाह किया। 42:38 पर कहा गया कि औरंगज़ेब ने मात्र 12 से 14 मंदिर तोड़े ये कोई बड़ी बात नहीं है और यह हिन्दु राजाओं ने शुरू किया था! यहां तो पूरी चर्चा विश्वसनीयता खो बैठती है। क्या आज भी हम गोरी चमड़ी के सामने चकाचौंध हो जाते हैं? ये वाली गोरी मेम तो 1, 2nd year की कोई कालेज स्टूडेंट टाइप बात कर रही हैं।
Unfortunately the Mughals didn’t make any effort to abolish the “Caste System” and “practised” alcohol consumption and indulged in “Love 💕 Jihad” facilitating the British takeover of Hindustan !
There is a name 'caste system' so it is out in the open... But every Muslim nation has a king, he and his family enjoy the greatest wealth, how in god's name are they following 'all men are equal' of Islam? There is no name for it and it goes on...
It’s like encounters in utterpradesh,once you are CM and you encounter trouble makers nobody cares“state violence“..does mean you can carry a gun and shoot people „law and order problem“.. Oh wait you can do that as well in Utterpradesh ..Wow better in yogi era
The audience look is like “ damn how , I wish I could be like them…how I wish I could compromise so much of my integrity to be at that high seat of Indian historian- ruling the history narrative of a big country- by being asuper specialist in Mugal History “
*Akbar, the great ?* “As directed by the word of God, we as far as it is within our power, remain busy in Jihad and owing to the kindness of the Supreme Lord, who is the promoter of our victories, we have succeeded in occupying a number of forts and towns belonging to the infidels and have established Islam there. With the help of our bloodthirsty sword we have razed the signs of infidelity from their minds and have destroyed temples in those places and also all over Hindustan.” - Declaration of Jalal-ud-Din Mohammed Akbar, after the conquest of Chittor, 1568. (Fatehnama-e-Chittor) decide for yourself. don't depend on the interpretations given by Turushkis and Thapars.
Ruled 800 years. Still living 800 years backwards than the present world. Apart from 3-4 muslims countries how many muslim countries are actually developed or let's say advancing towards development. Still bitching about muslim being in danger after ruling for 800 years. Such a shame.
