This is a rant of how Ind was treated under Mughal. I actually like the Mughals a lot except for Aurangzeb and that's it. Also when I mention North and South I'm talking about North and South India.
First of all, most people actually see the Mughals in a good light here. Not too sure about the South but in the North they are well loved.
Only exception is Aurangzeb and that's it. Only Hindus and Sikhs from North India or some Hindus from South India hate him. Most Indian Muslims do actually like him.
(I myself as a Sikh have been raised to hate him, but otherwise I actually like the Mughals)
And multiple times its been mentioned in a lot of places that the Mughals gave India love and respect unlike other invaders.
Which they did. Historically they had treated us well. And only under the Mughals(during Akbar's rule) the pilgrimage tax for non-Muslims was removed, which a lot of people were appreciative of.
So the Mughals did treat India quite well and with actual respect. But often because of one bad person their whole ethnic group can be seen as bad. Because of Aurangzeb some people think all Mughals are bad. No, they aren't. One person is not every person, one personality is not every personality.
Besides that a lot of Indians do like the Mughals. Our education system is practically in love with them.
So showing Mughal always treating India badly and never showing any sort of respect towards him is wrong. He did treat India properly, he did love and respect him. One ruler is not every ruler, so because of that one bad ruler it shouldn't be seen that Mughal had always treated India badly because he didn't and showing it like that is wrong.
It's practically ignoring the good rulers and the goods they did.
Removing of the pilgrimage tax is just one single example.
And another thing, Akbar himself was born in India. He also considered himself an Indian(according to what I've read and researched about him. But it is mostly treated as a fact. I'll leave it up to you if you choose to see it as a fact. I do myself see it as a fact.)
I've also grown sick of the fact people show Ind to hate Mughal, no he doesn't. He never has.
One belief of mine I'll leave down here
One ruler is not every ruler.
One person is not every person.
One personality is not every personality.
