By Muslim Mirror Desk,
New Delhi: Vice-President M Venkaiah Naidu said on Monday that the country’s GDP was 27 per cent of the world’s before Mughals invaded India, perhaps forgetting Muslims ruled India for 3 centuries before Mughals too.
He was addressing police officers at an event organised by the Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPR&D) to commemorate its 48th foundation day.
Muslim rule extended over much of India during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries CE. Most of the new rulers came down into the subcontinent from what is now Afghanistan.
This period was a precursor to the Mughal Era (1526 – 1857). The Mughal Empire was established by Babur, a Muslim prince originally from Uzbekistan.
However, Venkaiah Naidu in a bid to demonise Mughals forgot that Indians was ruled by Sultans who also were Muslims prior to the Mughal era.
Venkiah also said that Indians were taught about the greatness of Richard Clive but not of Shivaji Maharaj.
He said that in order to give the right direction to the police forces, it was important to return to our roots. “We have only been taught the greatness of Richard Clive. Never the greatness of Shivaji Maharaj. Therefore we must change our mindset, go back to our roots,” Naidu said, adding that during the reign of Krishnadev Rai people never put locks on their doors but were now asking for smart keys.
He said that India lived by the principal of Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam (the world is one family) and that is why “every Tom, Dick and Harry has invaded us.”
It’s a historical fact that India contributed 25% of the world’s GDP during the Mughal period, but the big question is why has India’s GDP been reduced to 6% today?
Naive Vice-President selected on sycophancy does not know—before Mughals–India was ruled by hundreds of small-time kings ruling own small kingdoms—with no real international GDP at all!
No architecture, even formal dressing/ clothes were introduced by Mughals and Muslim rulers.
GDP was highest with kingdom of Emperor Aurangazeb stretching from Afghanistan to Bangladesh.
Ignorance is bliss indeed! What informed and educated leaders we have today at top posts in India?
I think he didnt say as told in the report.
Here is the speech: https://youtu.be/lm95zIuHLjY
Fast forward to 13:40.
He says, “before independence and Mughal’s invasion, India’s GDP was 27% of the worlds GDP”.
This is another typical example of a BJP man’s superficial knowledge of history. We only expect this much from them.
Mr.venkaiah Naidu from anhrapradesh he knows Muslim rulers and their basic principles their secularism and justice to the subjects.now what is happening in india.in the name of religion Muslims tarnishing segregating from the mainstreams.now we are getting an opportunity that is coming general election.what ever may be difference of opinion among Muslims.
