JAHANGIR

Dear author
I am not going to justify the actions of any religion, caste or creed; all religious systems are in the same track in my view.
Needless to state that all religious groups engage in some form of suppression of the rights of non-adherents - and try to win them over. It is my considered opinion that no caste, creed or religion is exempt from this practice.

At this juncture,we are confused by the alchemy of power, politics and religion.

Readers may recall that Mrs Indira Gandhi's govt ordered the military to enter the Amritsar Gurudwar, The Golden Temple.
From one perspective, this act may be justified; it facilitated the rooting out of a virulent terrorist outfit. We cannot deny, tough that it negatively affected the harmony among the people.



Jahangir faced serious problems from his rebel son Kushroo. After the assassination
of Kushroo, Jahangir turned his anger towards the Sikh Guru Arjun Dev. Guru Arjun Dev was most pious and humble. Jahangir was annoyed with him because he had given an amount of Rs 5000/-to Prince Kushroo.
When Jahangir questioned Guru Dev about this, and Guru Dev justified his actions.. Jahangir responded with anger, sentencing Guru Dev to death..
