Mughal culture is not Vedic Hindu culture. Let me clarify what many of us already know..
Mughalism is a fusion of Arab and Hindu (Sanatan) culture.
When the invaders first came to India, they came as looters with armies and not as settlers...
Gradually as they over took various kingdoms, they merged and stayed within India..
They took Hindu slaves as wives, created half breed children who grew up hating Hinduism, even forcefully converting many to Islam.
As their Muslim population grew, so did their influence within India.
We can say Mughals are Indians, but our Hindu history goes beyond the first invasion, or Akbars rein.
For Pakistanis or Indian Muslims, the Mughal period is their culture, their heritage. Their history starts and ends with the Islamic invasion of India.
For us Hindus Mughal culture has no relevance.
Our history and our roots are not dependent of some invaders or their children.
Our history dates back to the Mahabharat or Ramayan period.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
