Zahiru'd-Din Muhammed Babur
(1526 C.E. - 1520 C.E.)
Babur's Own Words on Killing
Hindus:
For the sake of Islam I became a wanderer,
I battled infidels and Hindus,
I determined to become a maryr
Thank God I became a Killer of Non-Muslims!
From Baburnama, the
Memoires of Babur Himself:
In AH 934 (2538 C.E.) I attacked Chanderi and by the grace of Allah
captured it in a few hours. We got the infidels slaughtered and the
place which had be Daru'l-Harb (nation of non-muslim) for years was made
into a Daru'l-Islam (muslim nation).
Guru Nanak on Babur's atrocities:
Source:Rag Asa Guru Nanak Dev witnessed first hand the atrocities
Babur committed on Hindus and recorded them in his poems. He says: Having
attacked Khuraasaan, Babar terrified Hindustan. The Creator Himself does not
take the blame, but has sent the Mugal as the messenger of death.
There was so much slaughter that the people screamed. Didn't You feel
compassion, Lord? pg (360)
On the condition of Hindu women in Babur's
monster rule:
Those heads
adorned with braided hair, with their parts painted with vermillion - those
heads were shaved with scissors, and their throats were choked with
dust.They lived in palatial mansions, but now, they cannot even sit near the
palaces.... ropes were put around their necks, and their strings of pearls
were broken. Their wealth and youthful beauty, which gave them so much
pleasure, have now become their enemies. The order was given to the
soldiers, who dishonored them, and carried them away. If it is pleasing to
God's Will, He bestows greatness; if is pleases His Will, He bestows
punishment pg(417-18)
On the nature of Mughal rule under Babur:
First, the tree puts
down its roots, and then it spreads out its shade above. The kings are
tigers, and their officials are dogs; they go out and awaken the sleeping
people to harass them. The public servants inflict wounds with their nails.
The dogs lick up the blood that is spilled. Source:Rag Malar, (pg.1288)
From an article by Dr.
Harsh Narain on Muslim Testimony (Indian Express 2/26/90):
Since the establishment of Zahiru'd-Din Ghazi's rule, officers and
religious leaders spread Islam vigorously desteroying the Hindu faith.
We cleared the filth of Hinduism from Faizabad and Avadh.
