When did India fall out of love with the Mughal Empire?

[uppercut]

Mughal Empire has done many good things in Indian subcontinent. You can check all of their positive contributions on this thread (post #1): https://ppforum.pakpassion.net/thre...-in-indian-subcontinent.312941/#post-12045538.

BJP Indians don't want to acknowledge all these due to their Islamophobia.

Just don't forget to tell how you ran away from your own thread when I started exposing your utterly biased views.

Mughal are invaders at the end of the day ...so they are treated as such. Same for Britishers. Now they have contributed to Indian architecture cuisine and maybe culture. People whose ancestors converted and their descendent who see themselves as Muslims...can and should feel proud of their heritage. Why would Hindu Indians need to feel pride...we can still be proud of Taj mahal or red fort...we are not demolishing them but no reason to require Hidbus to celebrate invaders and foreigners....if someone wants to do som.they are free to do som.thsts the beauty of secular liberal country

clueless as ever

Mughal history, like most history, is messy. There was brutality and beauty, violence and cultural flowering, conflict and curiosity. Reducing the complexity of three centuries of political, social and cultural history and interactions to slogans or a morality play only inhibits understanding.

Keith Lowe

“Historians (worthwhile ones, anyway) don’t look to history as a source of pride or shame. Instead, they seek to explore the complexities and contradictions – in short, the messiness – of our past.”

Liam Liburd

“there is a very, very real threat to the understanding that what makes this [pluralism] possible historically is a celebration of difference and a celebration of tolerance, of really deep tolerance . . . which means…that we do not resort to violence and slogans in order to reduce the complexity of the world and the infinite chaos of our inner selves to some sort of marching simulacrum of a human being.”

Problem is sanghis try to judge Mughal Empire through the lense of modern times. That's not the right approach.

Mughal was a medieval empire and norms were different in that period. For example, it was a period when invasions were common worldwide. Even pre-Mughal Indian kingdoms used to invade each other (example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gupta–Saka_Wars).

Anyway, discussing this with the sanghis is a waste of time I guess. They just want to argue like village idiots.

Exactly! Pakistanis and Bangladeshis want to love and idolise those invaders because they share the common religion with them, they can do so. But to expect non Muslims in India to follow suit is foolish.​
