By Dr
Radhasyam Brahmachari Glorification
of Sher Shah: Sher Shah Suri,
“The Tiger King”, founder of the
Suri Dynasty, was born at Narnaul in Picture of Sher Shah Farid Khan
exploited this opportunity to accumulate riches by highway robbery and
plundering the wealth and riches of the Hindus, taking their women and children
as captives and selling them as slaves, following the foot steps of Bakhiyar Khalji, the
famoue warlord of It may be
mentioned here that Chunar is in the Mirzapur
District of Uttar Pradesh state, India. Though a small town, Chunar has a great influence in
Indian history. The Chunar Fort was built by Maharaja Vikramaditya, the King of Ujjain,
in honour of the stay of his brother Raja
Bhrithari. As per Hindu records, Chunar is the corrupt of Sanskrit
Charanadri as Lord Vishnu had taken his first step here in his
Vaman incarnation. The place was also well known as Nainagarh. However, Sher
Khan gained considerable strength after defeating the combined army of They narrate
Sher shah as an outstanding military genius, a great civilian administrator and, according to them; he left not even a
single area of administrative syatem where he had not set up reforms. But
to an unbiased reader, all such narrations appear to be nothing but
cock-and-bull stories. According to these spineless slave
historians, Sher Shah had revolutionized the revenue syatem
which Akbar later on copied. But according another group of
historians, Todar Mal, a Rajput minister of Akbar’s court, had
implemented all such reforms connected to revenue administration, which
are now being wrongly attributed to Sher Shah. [2] The most
interesting part of the episode is that, theses spineless historians are
projecting Sher Shah as a great builder, particularly a road builder. From their childhood, the students of During the days
of undivided Thus, according
to the estimate of R.C. Majumdar, the total length of all the roads built by
Sher Shah stands at 3,900 miles or 6,240 km. These historians also say that Sher Shah planted
trees on both sides of these roads to provide shades for the travelers and, in
addition to that, he set up sarais (inns) at an interval of 2 kos along the
roads where the travelers could take rest. In these sarais, Sher Shah provided
separate accommodation facilities for the Hindus and the Muslims. He also
employed Brahmin and Muslim cooks for preparing the meals of the Hindu and
Muslim visitors. The reader should keep in his mind that all
these things Sher Shah did within 5 years, despite his hectic military
activities. It has been
mentioned above that the history books also tell that Sher Shah ascended the
throne of So, the rule of
Sher Shah lasted only for five years and out of these five years, he spent
nearly one year to gain control over the fort of Kalinjore.[6] During the rest of his reign, he
was on hectic movement from east to west and north to south for suppressing
revolts or conquering new forts. It should be mentioned here that the
period under consideration was a period of political chaos and lawlessness and
to restore order, Sher Shah had to fight many battles and that too with partial
success. Thus the question naturally arises-Was it possible for Sher
Shah (or any other ruler of that time) to build such long roads within such a
short span of time? Furthermore, is it possible to make roads,
nearly 6,240 Km long, today using modern technology, within a period of 4 or 5
years? The real story is that, Abbas Khan, a
court-chronicler of Sher Shah had written some lies to please and glorify his
master and our historians took those narrations at their face value, without
applying their common sense to estimate the credibility of those blatant lies. A close
scrutiny of events, during the time of Sher Shah, also reveals that, despite
his vast efforts, he did not succeed in bringing the vast stretch of land, from
Dhaka in Bengal and River Indus in However,
regarding the road building activities of Sher Shah, Abbas Khan, a court chronicler of Sher Shah, in his Tarikh-i-Sher
Shah, writes, “May glory and blessings be upon his
eminent dignity! For the convenience in traveling of poor travelers, on every
road, at a distance of two kos, he made a sarai (inn); and one road with sarais
he made from the fort which he built in the Punjab to the city of “Villages
were established all round the sarais. In the middle of every sarai was a well
and a masjid of burnt brick; and he placed an imam and a muezzin in every
masjid, together with custodians (shahna), and several watchmen; and all these
were maintained from the land near the sarai. In every sarai, two horses were
kept, that they might quickly carry news. I have heard that Hussain Tashtdar
once, on an emergency, rode 300 kos in one day. On both sides of the highway,
Sher Shah planted fruit-bearing trees, such as also gave much shade, that in
the hot wind travelers might go along under the trees; and if they should stop
by the way, might rest and take repose. If they put up at a sarai, they bound
their horses under the trees”, Abbas Khan continues.[8]
From what has
been said above, it becomes evident that Abbas Khan wrote darkest lies in his Tarikh-i-Sher Shah,
to please and glorify his master and our historians simply copied those
narrations without considering the credibility of those narrations. To any
unbiased reader, it would appear utterly impossible for Sher Shah to build such
long roads, even if he would have devoted his 5 or 4 years of rein entirely for
road building setting his military and political aspects aside. However, it is
a shame that the spineless secular historians of Other Credits
Attributed to Sher Shah: According to
our historians, Sher Shah was not only a champion road builder but “Sher
Shah planted shade-giving trees on both sides of the roads and sarais or rest
houses at an interval of 2 kos, where separate arrangements were provided for
the Muslims and the Hindus.“[9]
How could Sher Shah do all these things within a period of about four years? No
sane man would believe in this garbage of lies except the secular historians of
What Sher Shah
Really was: But, in
reality, Sher Shah was a Muslim Pathan from In the
meantime, the Pathan army started massacring the Hindus and to describe the
wholesale slaughter, Abbas Khan writes, “While the Hindus were employed in
putting their women and families to death, the Afghans on all sides commenced
slaughtering of the Hindus. Puran Mal and his commanders, like pigs at a bay,
failed to exhibit valour and gallantry, and within the twinkle of an eye, all
were slain. Such of their wives and families, as were not slain, were captured.
One daughter of Puran Mal and three sons of his brother were taken alive and
the rest were all killed. Sher Shah gave the daughter of Puran Mal to some
itinerant minstrels (bazigars) that they might make her dance in the bazaars,
and ordered the boys to be castrated, so that the race of the oppressors (i.e.
the Hindus) might not increase.” [11] At that time,
the Rohtas fort in Bihar was under the control of the Hindu king, Hari However, on
Sher Shah’s promise by touching the Quran, the Raja agreed to give shelter, but could smell a rat. As soon as Raja Hari Krishna
agreed, Sher Shah hatched a plan to capture the fort. About 1,200 dolis
(palanquins) were made ready overnight and two Afghan soldiers, clad in burqas,
occupied each doli. The security staff in the fort checked the first
few dolis and failing to detect the conspiracy, allowed the rest to enter the
fort. Nearly 2,500 Pathan soldiers succeeded in entering the fort and
in the mid-night they started killing the Hindu security guards and thus
occupied the fort. King Hari Krishna somehow managed to escape the
fort through a secret passage. [12] Our spineless
historians describe this incident as exhibit of exemplary military acumen and
bravery of Sher Shah. [13] But Hari
Krishna Roy did not know that the Koran instructs the Muslims that they can
enter into any agreement with the kafirs and break that agreement in the
opportune moment, for the benefit of Islam. Moreover, Allah designates such a treachery with the
kafirs as taqiyah or holy deception and attaches merit for
such treacherous activities. This kind of
treachery is still going on today and an incident may be cited in this context.
When Indian Prime Minister A B Vajpayee and Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz
Sharf were having peace talks at Rawalpindi in 1998, the Pakistani army, at the
instigation of Nawaz Sharif, was crossing the Line of Control (LOC) between
India and the Pak occupied Kashmir (POK) and occupying the military bunkers on
the Indian side at Kargil. How Farid Khan
became Sher Shah: It has been
mentioned earlier that the so called secular and Marxist historians distort the
Muslim colonial period of Indian history following the guidelines- 1) The period
of Muslim rule in 2) The said
Muslim period of Indian history should be mentioned as a golden period of
Indian history, not a colonial period. 3) The ugly
face of Islam is to be suppressed and it should be projected as a noble,
generous, extremely tolerant and socialistic religion, and religion of
universal brotherhood. 4) The Hinduism
is to be exposed as a base religion infected with the inhuman institution like
casteism and full of despicable superstitions. 5) The foreign
Muslim rulers are to be narrated as highly civilized, generous, polished and
valorous people and they were far superior to the Hindus in military skill and
bravery. 6) During the
Muslim rule, the Hindus and Muslims lived in peace as good neighbours and the
present enmity and hatred between the two communities was created later on by
the British colonialists. 7) It should
never be mentioned that the Muslim rulers had massacred the Hindus in hundreds
of thousands, demolished thousands Hindu temples or converted them into
mosques. It should never be mentioned
that the Muslim rulers converted the Hindus at the point of sword. On the
contrary, it should be said the low caste Hindus, being oppressed by the high
caste Hindus and attracted by the generous and socialistic ideals of Islam,
accepted Islam in droves and so on and so forth. According to
the set guidelines as mentioned above, the so called secular historians are
projecting Sher Shah as a great ruler, a rare genius free from religious
bigotry and by any similar lofty word the might find in the dictionary. They also say that exemplary military skill,
keen foresight, extreme diligence and prudence helped Sher Shah rising from
humble Farid Khan and ending up ultimately as the Sultan of In an earlier
article, it has been pointed out that Islam has nothing like human resource
development program and it has no
plan to develop its followers as wealth creators. On the contrary, the
Koran inspires the Muslims to acquire wealth by criminal means such as
theft, robbery and plunder of the kafirs by waging jihad against them.
Most importantly, their Prophet taught his followers this easy means
for acquiring wealth by killing and driving away the Jews from Medina and
confiscating and distributing their wealth and the riches among the believers.
It is needless to say that these teachings of Islam have made its followers,
though poor in creative intelligentsia, expert in criminal activities. As a Muslim,
Farid Khan also utilized that celebrated criminal path to accumulate wealth
while he was serving his father to manage his jagir. He used to conduct raids
on Hindu villages, plunder the wealth and riches of the Hindu subjects of his
father’s jagir, to become rich. As
a procedure, he used to encircle a Hindu village, kill the adult males
and sell the women and children as slaves and confiscate their properties.
He also used to bring false allegations against the Hindu landlords and
occupy their wealth and properties after killing them en masse or driving them
out of the jagir. To narrate such
a raid in a Hindu village, Abbas Hasan
in his Tarikh-i-Sher Shahi, writes, “His
horsemen he directed to patrol around the villages, to kill all men they meet
and to make prisoners of the women and children, to drive in cattle to permit
no one to cultivate the fields, to destroy the crops already sown and not to
permit any one to bring anything in from neighbouring parts.” [14] To describe how
Farid Khan attacked and plundered the wealth of the Hindu zamindars, Abbas
Hasan, in his Tarikh-i-Sher
Shahi, writes, “Early in the morning, Farid Khan
mounted and attacked the criminal zamindars, and put all the rebels to death,
and making their women and children prisoners, ordered his men to sell them or
keep them as slaves and brought other people (i.e. Afghan Muslims) to the
village and settled them there.” [14] While
commenting on such oppression of the Muslim rulers on the helpless Hindus, H M
Elliot writes,”Under
sauch rulers, we cannot wonder that the fountains of justice are corrupted;
that the state revenues are never collected without violence and outrage; that
villages are burnt and their inhabitants mutilated or sold to slavery; that the
officials, so far from affording protection, are themselves the chief robbers
and usurpers; and that the poor find no redress against the oppressor’s wrong
and proud man’s consumely.” [15] He also writes,
“The few glimpses we have of Hindus slain for disputing with the
Muhammadans, of prohibitions against processions, worship and ablutions, and of
other intolerant measures, of idols mutilated, of temples razed, of forcible
conversions and marriages of proscriptions and confiscations, of murders and
massacres, and of the sensuality and drunkenness of the tyrants who enjoined
them, show us that this picture is no overcharged, and it is much to br
regretted that we are left to draw it for ourselves from out of the man of
ordinary occurrences, recorded by writers who seem to sympathize with no
virtues and to abhor no vices.” [16] But it is a
shame that the so called secular historians of References: [1] http://www.storyofpakistan.com/person.asp?perid=P055

1. Sumanyu Says: perhaps these
historians portray such violent invaders and plunderers as kind hearted rulers
so that foolish masses think that these historians are very honest and secular
in their writings. i fail to grasp that
if these plunderers were such nice and kind people then why did they wage
demolitions of civilizations, why they conquered other peoples land. 2.
2. JAH Says: Is caste prejudice
still an issue? By John McManus Groups who say they
face discrimination within their religions because of their ranking in society
are gathering for a conference in Some Hindus and Sikhs
believe the caste system is divinely-inspired One of the most
well-known forms is the caste system which is practised in the Indian
sub-continent, but activists claim similar ways of organising people into
higher and lower groups in society can be found throughout the world. They say that up to 250
million people are affected by the issue, and children of immigrants who settle
in different parts of the world are not immune. Reena Jaisiah is a
29-year-old teacher and arts director from Dalit discrimination In Reena’s parents
rejected the caste system, but did not tell her about her background - which
led to questions from schoolmates and ultimately, bullying when they discovered
that she was a Dalit. She still refuses to
take the change from my hand when I serve her Reena Jaisiah “People with a strong
religious feeling always want to know what caste you are”, she says. “My parents encouraged
me to conceal my background, but I felt inferior to children from other
castes.” Reena also encountered
prejudice while at university and says she can still see the caste system at
work today amongst Hindu schoolchildren, with pupils exhibiting a form of
“caste consciousness” by treating others according to their perceived place in
society. The Indian government
made caste discrimination unlawful in 1976, though it is still practised in
some areas. So why is the problem
continuing, and will any Indian reform affect British communities? Babu Gogineni is from
the International Humanist and Ethical Association, one of the conference
organisers. He believes that
political reform in Reena Jaisiah has been
questioned about her caste throughout her life Mr Gogineni says that
Dalits also discriminate amongst themselves; that there is in effect, a
hierarchy even amongst the untouchables. The National Secular
Society however, does think that legislation can be used to tackle the problem
in the The society’s Keith
Porteous-Wood wants the government to include a clause in the Equality Bill
which is currently going through parliament, which would be enacted if
subsequent research indicated that discrimination was apparent. “I own a shop in “She still refuses to
take the change from my hand when I serve her.” 3.

according to his own understanding – The following ten
things are essentially najis: 107. * An infidel i.e.
a person who does not believe in Allah and His Oneness, is najis. Similarly,
Ghulat who believe in any of the holy twelve Imams as God, or that they are
incarnations of God, and Khawarij and Nawasib who express enmity towards th e
holy Imams, are also najis. And similar is the case of those who deny Prophethood,
or any of the necessary laws of Islam, like, namaz and fasting, which are
believed by the Muslims as a part of Islam, and which they also know as such. As regards the people
of the Book (i.e. the Jews and the Christians) who do not accept the Prophethood
of Prophet Muhammad bin Abdullah (Peace be upon him and his progeny), they are
commonly considered najis, but it is not improbable that they are Pak. However,
it is better to avoid them. 108. The entire body
of a Kafir, including his hair and nails, and all liquid substances of his
body, are najis. 109. * If the parents,
paternal grandmother and paternal grandfather of a minor child are all kafir,
that child is najis, except when he is intelligent enough, and professes Islam.
When, even one person from his parents or grandparents is a Muslim, the child
is Pak (The details will be explained in rule 217). 110. * A person about
whom it is not known whether he is a Muslim or not, and if no signs exist to
establish him as a Muslim, he will be considered Pak. But he will not have the
privileges of a Muslim, like, he cannot marry a Muslim woman, nor can he be
buried in a Muslim cemetery. 111. Any person who
abuses any of the twelve holy Imams on account of enmity, is najis. – 11.

13. JAH Says: Teachings of the
Qur’an The Qur’an offers
freedom of faith (10:108, 6:104, 10:99, 39:41, 11:121, 73:19, 43:88-89, 2:272,
76:29, 18:29, 42:48, 76:2-3, 3:20, 88:21-22, 16:82-83, etc.), freedom of
religion (2:256, 109:6, 22:67-69, 42:15, 10:41, 2:139, 42:6, etc.), and freedom
of freethinking (15:3, 17:84, 6:110, 10:11, 11:121, 52:45, etc.) without any
temporal punishment. The Qur’an teaches to
believe in all the previous Prophets of God as they represent the chain of
evolution of the Prophethood (2:1-4, 3:84, 2:285, 4:152, 37:37, etc.). The Qur’an teaches
that Islam is for everyone (2:62, 22:17, 21:107, 2:111-112, 5:69, 34:28,
103:1-3, 22:67, 10:47, 35:24, 16:36, 68:52, 49:13, 4:1, 2:213, 10:19, 17:70,
etc.). The Qur’an teaches
love, mercy, kindness, and forgiveness (1:1-2, 85:14, 21:107, 60:7, 4:17,
7:199, 39:53, 16:119, 3:159, 15:85, 16:119, 19:96, 2:160, 2:163, 4:27-28,
etc.). The Qur’an is the
only non-Jewish scripture in the world where Jews have been honored and
protected in so many verses (2:40, 2:47-52, 2:57-58, 5:20, 5:44, 10:47,
10:90-93, 14:6, 17:2-3, 20:47-52, 20:77-80, 44:30-32, 45:16, etc.), good Jews
have been praised and they have also been offered salvation if they follow the
true teachings of Moses (2:62, 2:121-122, 3:113-115, 3:199, 5:12, 5:65-66,
5:69, 29:46, etc.). The Qur’an is the
only non-Christian scripture in the world where Jesus and Mary have been
honored with very high respect (3:42-55, 5:44-46, 5:110, 43:59, Chapter 19 on
Mary, etc.), good Christians have been praised and they have also been offered
salvation if they follow the true teachings of Jesus (2:62, 2:121-122,
3:113-115, 3:199, 5:65-66, 5:69, 5:82, 29:46, etc.). Unlike Bible that
prescribes death penalty for idolatry and polytheism (Deuteronomy 17:3-5,
13:6-16; 2 Chronicles 15:13; Ephesians 5:5; Revelation 21:8; 1 Corinthians
6:9-10; Exodus 20:4-5; etc.), the Qur’an doesn’t have any temporal punishment
for the same (22:17, 6:107-8, 22:67-69, 17:84, 49:11). The Qur’an teaches
that the pre-Qur’anic people will be judged according to their own deeds and
actions (2:134, 10:47, 35:24, 16:36, 40:78, 4:164, 17:15, 62:5, 5:44, 20:133-4,
etc.). The Qur’an is the
only religious Book that strongly condemns female infanticide (16:58-59,
81:8-9, 6:137, 6:140, 6:151, 17:31). The Qur’an teaches in
various ways to free the slaves that come into possession as a result of war
(90:12-13, 9:60, 5:89, 2:177, 4:3, 4:25, 4:92, 24:33, 58:3, 8:67, 47:4, etc.). The Qur’an strongly
condemns terrorism and oppression (4:75, 22:39-40, 9:13-14, 42:39-43, 38:28,
2:190-193). The Qur’an strongly
condemns unjust killing and suicide (5:32, 2:195, 4:29-30, 4:91-93, 17:31,
17:33, 6:151, 25:68, 3:21, etc.). The Qur’an teaches
self-defense and tolerance (60:7-9, 2:190-3, 6:107-8, 6:68, 49:11, 39:3,
16:126-128, 73:10, 19:46-47, etc.). The Qur’an strongly
condemns priesthood and religious peddlers (2:41, 2:79, 5:44, 3:187, 9:9, 9:31,
9:34, 2:174, 12:104, etc.). The Qur’an strongly
forbids eating up others’ property (2:188, 4:2, 4:10, 4:161, etc.). The Qur’an strongly
condemns defrauders (83:1-4, 55:7-9, 17:35, 6:152, etc.). The Qur’an teaches
not to follow feeble oath-monger, slanderer, greedy, and hinderer of the good
(68:10-13, 49:11-12). The Qur’an protects
religious temples (22:40). The Qur’an teaches to
follow the middle and straight path (17:29, 25:67, 2:143, 23:62, 4:171, 17:9,
2:286). The Qur’an gives
equal status and rights to men and women (4:1, 4:7, 4:124, 3:195, 16:97, 33:35,
49:13, etc.). The Qur’an is the
only religious Book where women have the right to inherit (4:7). The Qur’an gives
rights and dignity to orphans, needy, and widows (2:177, 2:115, 2:220,
2:240-241, 4:2, 4:8, 4:10, 4:36, 9:60, 17:26, 17:34, 93:9-10, 89:17-18, 6:152,
107:1-3, etc.). The Qur’an encourages
men to give dower to women as free gift whom they marry (4:4). The Qur’an teaches to
give charity to poor and needy (2:43, 2:177, 2:277, etc.). The Qur’an protects
women’s dignity from wicked men (24:4, 24:23). The Qur’an teaches
that widow can re-marry if she wishes (2:234-240). The Qur’an teaches
that woman can get divorce if she wishes (2:228-232). The Qur’an teaches
that divorced woman can re-marry if she wishes (2:229, 2:232). The Qur’an teaches to
be kind, helpful, and respectful to your parents (29:8, 17:23, 46:15, 19:14,
6:151, 4:36, 2:215, 2:83, 71:28, etc.). The Qur’an forbids

not to lie and not to mix up truth with falsehood (45:7, 2:42, 52:11-12, 3:94,

people for seeking knowledge and asking question (17:36, 39:9, 47:24, 25:33,
38:29, 17:85, 21:7, 2:215-220, etc.). The Qur’an teaches
not to ask those types of questions, which may cause you pain and trouble

of God (Matthew 21:11, Luke 24:19; Qur’an 2:87). The Qur’an teaches

Worlds in so many verses (4:82, 17:88, 2:23-24, 10:37, 32:2, 26:192-4, 16:102,
36:5, 42:51-53, 41:52-53, 56:77-82, 69:40-51, 25:4-6, etc.). The Qur’an offers
various logics for the unbelievers of Creator (22:5, 75:36-40, 22:73, 23:91,
2:28, 17:99, 19:66-67, 21:22, 29:46, 6:99, etc.). The Qur’an ensures
absolute justice in this world and in the hereafter (4:135, 5:8, 4:58, 57:25,

15. Sumanyu Says: # 7 I can understand your
plight, frustration. It happens. Let us assume that the SHIA-SUNNI thing is
influenced by Hinduism.Consider the following facts(from wikipedia):
MALAYASIA Do you think Hinduism
has anything to do in these countries?????I think my assumption is wrong
because 16.
16. Sumanyu Says: #6. Halalpork786 “i know JAH is a Sufi
who hates the Sunnis and the Shias also. I think it is bellow his Islamic
dignity to even take side with untouchables like Sunnis and shias” You reminded me to add
sufi-sunni-shia brotherhood facts: Many attempts were made
on Shahi’s life(Gohar Shahi ) including a “petrol bomb” attack, thrown into his
(^_^) 17.
17. Kafir123 Says: This is indeed a very
good and informative article. I always thought that
the fort, temples and other buildings could have been partially destroyed to
give them the Islamic Look by refurbishing them. I always believed that Sher
shah was the builder of Great roads in India, but after considering the Time
period (5 years), his territory (he did not control whole India) and his
involvement in so many wars and activities, it is very clear that he was not
the one who could have built these long roads in his five year long time. A
person who even could not respect his friendship with non Muslim ( King Hari
Krishna ), how could he be the one who would have provided meals and rest house
for non Muslim travelers in his kingdom. Indians historians
are really the bunch of morons. 18.
18. Kafir123 Says: JAH, Thanks for all the
verses from Holy Koran which says that Islam gives equal right to the females
as it gives to male, how ever I have following question as it is not there in
your references: DOES THE ISLAM ALLOW A
FEMALE TO MARRY MORE THAN ONE MALE AS IT ALLOWS A MALE TO MARRY MORE THAN ONE
FEMALE? That would be the real
equality between male and female. 19.

a women http://www.faithfreedom.org/2009/06/10/distortion-of-indian-history-for-muslim-appeasement-part-4/ |
