Re: Was Jehangir converted to Christianity?

This reminds me of my university friend Fallhuddin, his every other non veg joke used to be centered around arab,goat and camel:D

24

Re: Was Jehangir converted to Christianity?

But its not joke that Jehangir made Hiran Minar in memory of a deer.

25

Re: Was Jehangir converted to Christianity?

I am sure he would have brought some romantic relation between Jahangir and Mansukh:D, joker works in IB hence not in direct contact:bummer:

Re: Was Jehangir converted to Christianity?

^^^ Hope he didn’t sleep with Hiran in the memory of anarkali:D

What was the prosperity then:k: people had home and Hiran had minar in their name, now hirans are endangered and are in national park and many of humans are shelterless:(

:cb:

BTW Manochi ( an Italian traveler in Shahjehan / Aurangzeb period) says that Jehangir liked pork and wine so much after he tasted these things (especially the pork). When Muslim clergy started criticising him for this, he asked ‘in which religion, these are allowed’. He was told these are allowed in Christianity. Hearing this he announced that he will follow Christianity. Manochi also claimed that Jehangir didn’t fast in Ramadan and used to have food publicly against the Islamic teachings.

Re: Was Jehangir converted to Christianity?

Monochi has got many thing wrong, but can't comment on his reporting because I never came across such thing about Jehangir before. He escaped though Aurangzeb was probably too young then:D

30

Re: Was Jehangir converted to Christianity?

Monochi was in India till Aurangzeb killed all his brothers. He might then run away thinking 'Jis ne namaz chhoRi, na Bhaiyon ko choRa.. wo mujhe kia choRe ga'.

31

Re: Was Jehangir converted to Christianity?

I think Aurangzeb would have found some special torture treat for People of Book:D, even Jinnah ate pork, imagine Jinnah and Aurangzeb sitting in Jannat and talking:D

Re: Was Jehangir converted to Christianity?

Talking about similarities between Nehru and Shiva ji :D

Re: Was Jehangir converted to Christianity?

Religious policy of Jahangir has been placed between his father,and his son,He had faith in God and observed principles of in a normal way. He was not a religious man. He did not practice principles of Islam strictly. He came in contact with people of all faiths which liberalised his views. He believed in the unity of God. He mostly pursued the religious policy of Akbar and gave equal facilities to all his subjects without discriminating between them on grounds of religion. The Hindus were not burdened by additional taxation and received services in the state according to merit. However, there are certain instances which prove that, at times, Jahangir favoured Islam.

Jahangir punished the Hindus in the state of Kashmir because they used to marry Muslim girls and convert them to Hinduism. In the same way, threw away the idol of Varaha at into a pond and destroyed Christian churches when he was at war with the Portuguese. One reason of punishing, the Sikh religious leader, was certainly the religious views of the Guru which he disliked. He also ordered expulsion of all Jains from Gujarat when he felt dissatisfied with them. But, these instances are examples of his occasional frenzy. Jahangir did not pursue a policy of religious persecution against any sect.

He punished Guru Arjun because of the financial help which he gave to the rebel prince Khusrav. He even punished Muslim preachers like Shaikh Rahim, Qazi Nurulla, Shaikh Ahmad Sarhindi etc. when he felt unhappy with them. So there remains no reason to charge him for fanaticism against the Sikhs, the Hindus, the Jains or the Christians. Mostly, Jahangir maintained the spirit of religious toleration with all his subjects and no change was brought about by him in the policy of Akbar.

After 11 Years I Opened My History Book Just For Muqawwee ......... I Hope I Am On Topic Now ;)
