I mostly share history, art, culture, food, attire, traditions, and heritage of the Indian Muslim community. Sometimes I delve into politics & current affairs.

This is the uconquered Janjira Fort, the principal seat of the Indo-Muslim naval lordship of the Siddis. Multiple Maratha generations attempted to conquer it, but all failed. Shivaji alone lost nearly 15,000 men here, yet the fortress held. Sambhaji and Bajirao too failed.

Bollywood has nothing of their own. In their latest movie, they have copied the Sayyid Muslim punch line: "Pathanon ko kah do, Sayyid aa chuke hain". They replaced Sayyid with Chauhan.

Hinduism does not belong to Manipur. It was forcibly imposed by King Pamheiba, around 1720, involving severe religious persecution of natives to force conversions. Hindu radicals fool others by saying they never imposed their religioun upon others. Therefore, read this entire post carefully and in full. It was in the coming of the third Hindu mission that sounded the death-knell of the old Meetei religion and customs. The leader of the mission was Shanta Das Gossai. He preached the doctrines of Ramanandi dharma of Hinduism to the king. The principal god of this faith is Rama, the hero of Ramayana. He came to Manipur at the head of a band of missionary in 1720. Pamheipa appointed Shanta Das Gossai his guru. He also allowed him to baptize all those who wanted to embrace Ramanadi at his own free will. However, it did not win many adherents. Nimandi, Gaudiya and Sakhya faiths of Hinduism, being deprived of state patronage, could not evolve further but U-Mang-Lai continued to exist even when the King forbade worshiping them. Though it lost the patronage of the king, U-Mang-Lai worship continued its toleration. The hopes of Shanta Das Gossai to convert the Meeteis to his faith were showing no prospect of fulfillment. He, therefore, urged the king to adopt anti-Meetei religion policy - demolition of U-Mang-Lai temples, dismissal of Meetei priests and shamans and discontinuation of the Meetei customs in the royal court. After giving such recommendation, Shanta Das Gossai left for Sylhet for temporary stay there. As the chronicle records, "The year of Thoutapa Heiton 1643 Kum Sak... Friday, the 8th of Wakching (26th December 1721 CE), Guru Mahanta was escorted from Chinga to Thangpicharou." The Sanamahi Laikan gives us interesting information about the iconoclastic zeal of Shanta Das Gossai, which led to the destruction of U-Mang-Lai temples and idols of Meetei ancestral divinities. Under his pressure, the king misused his imperial authority to convert his Meetei subjects to Ramanadi. As Hinduism is against meat eating and drinking liquor the first step took up by the King was prohibition of cow-slaughter, meat eating, brewing wine, and domestication of pig and fowl in the capital Before Manipur adopted Hinduism, meat eating was greatly favored and drinking was probably common among the people. The step of the king gave a very rude shock to the Meeteis. The Cheitharon Kumpapa records the punishments inflicted to those who disobeyed the order, "The year of Puthem Yithai 1644 Kum Sak...the first day of the month Langpan began on Friday (August/September 1722 CE )... On that day all the people of the seven sageis of the Keiroi and Leikais who ate beef were punished by flogging and Khungoinapa.... The year of Wamanpa Mupa 1645 Kum Sak... the first day of the month Thawan began on Monday (2nd August 1723 CE). On that day domestication of pig and fowl in the villages prohibited. All the piggeries in the capital were sent to Lawai... The year of Moirang Khoitong 1646 Kum Sak... the first day of the month Poinu began on Tuesday (16th November 1724 CE). On that day, all the disobeyed piggeries from the villages were punished by fine." In August 1723 CE, the king officially forbade the worship of U-Mang-Lai. The Cheitharon Kumpapa records, "The first day of the month Langpan began on Tuesday (31st August 1723 CE). On that day, the Sangkais of the nine U-Mang-Lai gods and two Lamapis were dismantled to discontinue worshipping them". In November 1723 CE, the orthodox Meetei priests and Shamans from the principal royal temples were replaced by the Hindu Brahmins. As the Chronicle records, "Friday, the full moon day of Hiyangkei (12th November 1723 CE), the Pamons started managing the worship of Laiyingthou Nongsapa, Yimthei Lai, Panthoipi and Taipang-Khaipa."

There is a widespread misconception among Indian Muslims that Islam came to India and suddenly sparked a great revolution, where Hindu Dalits (“untouchable” castes) rejected Brahminism, broke the chains of slavery, and converted to Islam. This is FAKE! Let me elaborate on this: This narrative stems from the assumption that Dalits were some subjugated rebels, wary of subjugation and discrimination, and would act like freedom-seeking slaves, ready to overthrow their tyrannical masters at any moment. However, the reality was far more complex. Hindu theology, social structures, and institutions had entrenched their marginalisation so deeply that it operated on every level, mental, social, physical, and even within imagination itself. When Islam arrived in North India, hammering the Kshatriyas and Raiyyas (kings and lords), there were very few Muslims living there. Muslim rulers lacked local manpower and, for this reason, had to continually recruit soldiers from already Muslim regions. If Dalits were truly so rebellious, they would have joined Muslims en masse against Brahmanical dominance, but no such movement appears in the history of Indo-Muslim advent. Had they done so, they would without any doubt have eventually have risen to positions of power. ——— The (relatively higher) sense of equality and fraternity in Islam is world-famous, and it was not merely theoretical, it existed in practice. We have numerous examples from Indo-Muslim history to support this; I will mention what is just one drop in an ocean: There was a Delhi Sultanate writer named Ziauddin Barani, who spent much of his life lamenting that the Sultans of Delhi were appointing “low-born” individuals to the highest positions in the Sultanate. Malik (later Sultan) Nasir-ud-Din Khusrau Khan and Khan-i Khanan Malik Husamuddin, both brothers were slaves and that too from the Barwar tribe, considered an avarna group (below Shudra in Hindu social hierarchy). Theatyer was married to the youngest daughter of Sultan Alauddin Khilji. However, I would like to point out, for the satisfaction of the readers, that both of these men were exceptionally handsome in appearance. ——— Dalits were also not pro-Muslim or particularly empathetic toward Muslims; on the contrary, they often shared the same, if not greater, hostility toward Muslims as upper-caste Hindus did. It was an age of deep superstition, and many Dalits firmly believed that Brahmins were descendants of gods (Baman Devta), and that incurring their curse (shraap) would bring ruin. They did not typically operate within institutions that brought them into direct contact with Indo-Islamic society or allow them to be influenced by it. Leaving Hindu fold for Islam was far bigger than this. At most, the influence extended to regarding certain Muslim pirs or faqirs as saints with mystical or healing powers, revering them while still remaining within the Hindu fold. ——— For a more neutral perspective, let us leave the Gangetic plain and, for instance, turn to the region of present-day Tripura, which recorded just four conversions in the year 1911. Manaranjan Ganguli (Brahmin) Uma Kanta Chandra (Taluqdar, i.e., a big landlord) Gurudas Roy's nephew (Brahmin) Babgo Pal (Kayastha) Similarly, in the Akhbarat (newsletters) from the era of Aurangzeb, we read abundant entries noting that “today, this guild of merchants has converted to Islam,” or that “this Brahmin, this Rajput, this Khatri has embraced Islam,” and that they were subsequently honoured. There are also records stating that such members of such and such artisan communities adopted Islam, with officials directed to congratulate them and extend special attention and care. In my reading of all publicly available volumes, I have yet to find any instance where an entire Dalit guild or locality is recorded as having embraced Islam.

Ages ago, a small group of Indian Muslims sought refuge in a cave and offered their prayers to Allah (SWT). Rather than moving on, they transformed the entire cave into a mosque. This is Kothamangalam Mosque, the world's smallest mosque, located in Kerala province, India.

Here, a European visits an Islamic bookstore and even offers ₹200 for a book priced at only ₹80. Despite being offered a higher amount, the shopkeeper refuses and returns ₹420 from the ₹500 note, charging only the actual price of the book. Had it not been a Muslim, we have seen what other Indians do. Remember that driver charging ₹2,000 for a ride worth only ₹10 in Calcutta?
