Emperor Zaheer ud din Babar was not only a staunch Muslim but a warrior to the core of his heart. No one tied to convert him. Emperor Humayoun bound by the help of Shah Tahmasp of Iran for recovering his throne, was showing some softness to Shia Islam but died as he was born, a Muslim to the core of his heart. Emperor Akbar played the most political games of them all, misleading all those who wanted to convert him, and died a Muslim and recited the Kalma before his death. The same attested by his own son, Emperor Jahangeer in his Tuzuk Jahangeeri.
Jahangeer played the most trick with the conversion tactics. To please the Goa people, Jahangeer permitted his nephews, Tahmur, Baisunghar and Hoshang, sons of Sultan Danyal to embrace Christianity, and they became Dom Filipe, Dom Carlos, and Dom Henrique. The Mughal courtier Muqarrab Khan became known as Dom Joao Laurengo de Tavora. Things were artificial. The Portuguese were quickly disillusioned with these imperfect conversions. Once back in his land, Muqarrab Khan reverted to Islam as well as the three nephews of Jahangeer, with little regard to Christianity. There was apostasy as the Portuguese called it and the dream to make the Mughal State a Christian one evapourated in the air.
The myth prevails with emphasis on the number of Christian paintings done under Jahangeer and the funny part is the exaggerated importance of same. Amongst host of fake copies made under the patronage of the British rulers with cherubs everywhere, if the Mughals created say a total of ten thousand paintings, the number of Christian subjects of the paintings would not even be hundred. If anyone claims so, they should easily match their claim with figures, which will prove our assertion of mere hullabaloo on part of bigotry of Western scholars. It proves that the Christian oriented games were merely political tactics on the part of the Mughals. Edward Terry in his journal does not even relate one meeting of the Ambassador Sir Thomas Roe with Emperor Jahangeer, although illusions are made of same. Even the portrait made of Jahangeer is a man with an overload of womanly hair. And Terry rests at peace the aspersion that Jahangeer loved religious pictures. On the contrary he clearly says:
And those who debunk Akbar as a confused personality, his final moments as recorded by his son Jahangeer, can be stated, directly from the Tuzuk Jahangeeri:
All the Mughal Emperors died as hundred percent Muslims. Effort of Western Kings and missionaries totally wasted, and today the modern research scholar continues to resuscitate the vision of a Christian Mughal State. Every one forgets that the Quran itself tells us of our Prophet Isa in a clear cut way and no missionary could add more than the Quran itself. Muslim love for Jesus Christ is supreme itself.
Conversion is a game plan of expressing superiority over others, obviously does not work.
Downgrading Islamic ideology
Congratulations to Chughtai Museum in enfolding an aspect of the Mughals not normally taken into account
Emperor Jahangeer does not mention Sir Thomas Roe even once in his Tuzuk and this ambassador claims to have been at court for three years. Sitting outside the fort, perhaps.
Conversions glory in Hindustan where even Asokha the great in 263 BC left Hinduism and became a Buddhist. Today talk of Hindutva seems so strangely a paradox.
Allah ko chornay say moat bahtar hai
Portuguese captured Goa and had eyes on all Hindustan and conversion tactics easy way out
