This is the unconquered Janjira Fort, which multiple generations of British, Portuguese, and Marathas attacked but failed to take. Shivaji alone lost nearly 15,000 men here. Sambhaji and Bajirao also failed. Murud-Janjira Fort was built by Sultan Murtaza Nizam Shah in 984 AH (1576-77 CE). Initially, the island was defended by a wooden fortification built by the Koli pirates. After defeating them, Ahmad Nizam Shah captured the fortifications and reinforced the existing structure. However, this entire wooden structure was demolished and replaced with the grand stone fort that stands today during the reign of Sultan Murtaza Nizam Shah I (r. 1565–1588). The earliest inscription found here, dated 1576–77 CE, states that Fahim Khan built the fort and its bastions on the orders of the Sultan. Another inscription from the reign of Emperor Shah Alam II Bahadur, dated 1122 AH (1710–11 CE), reinforces this tradition, again stating that the fort was built by Fahim Khan during the reign of the "Nizam Shah of the Deccan."

While India and Indians are known for scams and cheating, Muslims stand out as the only face of hospitality, honesty, and kindness in 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?

Hindutva extremists used to complain about the old Bollywood, where Indo-Muslim culture dominated the screens, and called it “Urduwood.” Now that Bollywood has been Hinduised, they are gradually realising how ugly it looks. No thanks, Urduwood (↓) was far better.
