European Ladies with dessi Males....Some more facts
In the previous post I shared some facts about those Europeans who married with local ladies in South Asia and in this post let me introduce European Ladies who had relations with local males. This whole debate is interesting in a world which is divided in Nation States. It was Allama Iqbal, who timely called Nationalism "new god". Last day when i post the previous story, someone called it a good example of our multicultural past. She may include this one too yet analyses past with modern notions is not a very good idea at all. you can understand things in their own perspective. Now read the post which is based on information from the same book "Mushahidat e Farhang". The story started from Chandar Gupt Murya of Taxila (Punjab) who married with the daughter of Salukis , a leader of Alexander's army who was among many Greeks who stayed in the Punjab. After that the author included Akbar who m arried with "Marry" daughter of William from Goa. Akhbar's Son Danyal (Daniel) followed his father and he had a farhangi lady in his harm. According to Burnes Danyal himself converted to Christianity with the permission of his uncle King Jhangieer. Thomasro, wrote that his kids were christian yet later reverted to Islam. Then comes Joliana, a Hakim, who ruled on Moazzam (Elder son of Aurangzeab). Whenever Joliana comes on roads, two elephants with white Cross follows her. Kings or Rajas or Lords used to do such things as it was order of that day. Now nationalists and fundamentalists are using them according to their needs or ideologies yet they were primarily Kings. Ahmad Shah was on throne in 1748 when a trader visited him. He died there then her daughter Mrs Rose was included in herm. She got a title "Noor Jahan" yet after some time she ran away to London along with pearls of greater value. Shah Alam Sani too followed that tradition and had Mrs Handi with him. The lesson is very clear and that is, donot extract nationalism or religious politics from past yet we , the inhabitants of modern Nation States are still busy in using prides & prejudices. Some times on the name of Indian, Bangali, Mahrashter nationalisms, sometimes on the name of Hindvta, Islamism etc and many times on the name of liberalism. read the story
