We envy India

Jaladhi,

Glad you mentioned the Moguls, those people who came from far, from Mongolia and China

We Arab Muslims suffered from the Barbaric acts of the Mogul more than you did.

The Modul once a barbaric nation, rampaged through the Muslim land killing who stopped on their way, destroyed nations, tribes, literature, they destroyed libraries, they destroyed Baghdad, they reached Palestine and they were stopped by the Egyptian Mammluk dynasty in Palestine.

They converted to Islam before they retreated and went back to India and settled there

You cannot blame Islam for their barbaric manner, because they were barbaric people before they entered Islam.

We must confess that their behaviour somehow calmed down once they practiced Islam.

We envy you because the damage they made to India is much less than what they did in the Levant Land from Iraq to Palestine, through Syria and Jordan
