Good that you did not try to refute it [Hindus converted to Islam due to Jazya]
yes meant that i refute it. that was your question. reread my first line again.
During Aurengzeb's era, no one cared if you cud afford it or not.
and if you cannot, your only option was to embrace Islam.
(only instance he didn't enforce this was for deccan as he was told that hindus would just leave the region)
where did you read this? have you considered that alot of his taxing was for the expensive wars he fought against both muslims and hindus? both his muslim and non-muslim citizens had to bear that burden
Your comparing zakat vs jazya is silly... as during that era, only 1 hindu out of 1000 would be in Zakat bracket.
it was not silly when earlier in the thread you claimed that non-muslims had to pay 70% of their yearly income as jizya while muslims paid 2.5% as zakat. which is clearly not the truth
