During my primary school days, there was the big kid in our class, Sohal Lal. He was like 2 and a half inch taller than all the kids and roam around us like a big daddy. Sohan Lal was good in studies and all the teachers liked him but he was moody and always looking to physically abuse us with whatever he has easy reach, it may be a duster, stick, bare hand, school belts, and whatnot. Every day one or other parents use to visit the school and complain about Sohal Lal hitting their kid. But Sohan Lal was cunning, he used to make a victim’s face and cry; make stories that the students are jealous of him being favorite of teachers and they all gang up and beat him whenever they all find Sohal Lal alone. We wished we could do that to Sohan Lal even once.
We can see so many Sohal Lal in an online community, looking to bully people, culture, religion, nation, the list is endless, by posting inflammatory content with the intent to provoke readers into emotional responses.
We will be targeting people like Sohan Lal and try to expose them and their intentions.
Today’s case is of Ms. Audrey Truschke. She is an assistant professor of South Asian, Rutgers University, Newark, NJ, USA.
These are few books she wrote are
- Culture of Encounters: Sanskrit at the Mughal Court (South Asia Across the Disciplines)
- Aurangzeb: The Life and Legacy of India’s Most Controversial King
- Aurangzeb: The Man and the Myth.
You can see she is inclined towards the most notorious/bigot Mughal King Aurangzeb. I am quoting a line from her book Aurangzeb: The Man and the Myth.
Expanded the Mughal Empire to its greatest extent, subsuming most of the Indian subcontinent under a single imperial power for the first time in human history.
How come the world is studying a different version of Mughal history then Ms. Truschke? We don’t want to go into detail about her motive in lying about the history but why she is working hard to cleanse gruesome Mughal history is a matter of investigation.
He also issued many orders protecting Hindu temples and granted stipends and land to Brahmins.”
The Vishvanath temple at Benares and Mathura’s Keshava Dev temple famous shrines bulldoze under his orders. Both were replaced by mosques. Mughals were using Hindu temples as a royal tomb. Technically India has been ruled by IS (Islamic State) for 317 years and faced mass conversion to Islam with sword, destroying ancient knowledge, culture, beliefs and faith which nurtured the land of India.
And the Current controversial statement by Ms. Truschke is about epic Ramayana.
For anyone unfamiliar with these episodes, in Valmiki’s telling (I’m loosely translating here): During the agnipariksha, Sita basically tells Rama he’s a misogynist pig and uncouth. During the golden deer incident, Sita accuses Lakshmana of lusting after her and setting up Rama.
She later tried to cover up that the tweet is a loose translation of Valmaki Ramayan but fails to come up with any evidence to prove her point. Ms. Truschke should understand that Sanskrit is considered as God’s language and there are no abusive words in it. I have gone through few articles where it was highlighted Ms. Truschke’s inclination towards Islam and left ideology. If she respects Islam and scholar in South Asian History, she should know that what Allah is for Muslims, Ram is for Hindus. You achieve nothing by hurting the emotions of millions of people in the name of being intellectual or Scholar.
If you challenge yourself to present your malice and bitter motives in the online community than you should be ready to take other’s inflammation and views as nude as yours.
