Playing with Sikh Muslim Conflict exposed (A colonial legacy still in practice) Read & Unlearn


Playing with Sikh Muslim Conflict exposed 

(A colonial legacy still in practice) Read & Unlearn

How colonial scholarship spread numerous conflicts is known to historian yet in the Punjab it was specific among Sikhs & Muslim Punjabis on the one hand & Pathan & Punjabis on the other hand. For Punjabi Muslims they had portrayed Ranjit Singh as Anti-Muslim but for Pathans they had painted Ranjit as Anti-Afghan. Similarly to mislead Sikhs they painted Afghan cum Pathan King Abdali as Anti-Sikh. To strengthen their misleading propaganda they spread many false things and one of them was closure of Grand Mosque of Lhore for Muslims. But facts are very different from perception created by colonial rulers through their court historians. That propaganda still exists in our misleading scholarship till today. Read the piece and also check the link below too for further reading. It is about a book , a daily diary manuscript written in Persian during 1810 to 1817. It was translated in 1933 from Persian to English.
In the entry of 9th January 1811, it is recorded that one noble person of Lhore Qazi Faqirullah proclaimed by drum beat all over the town on the day of Eid uz zuhah that all the Muslims must go to Royal Mosque to offer their Id prayer there. In result all Muslims had gone to that Id Gah i-e Badshahi Mosque.
It was just opposite what British historians had wrote in colonial scholarship.
