I am not into mind reading Ram. Less so of people long gone. Besides,
*I* am no fan of Lasit's act , make that whack; that made him a
kharkhowa hero. It has something to do with my abhorrence for
applauding or holding in high esteem an act of playing accuser,
prosecutor, judge, jury and executioner by the same person. But if I
were to guess, considering that many Ahoms and other indigenous
people took to Islam, voluntarily, and considering that in those days
the act of beef-eating was not that big a sin, particularly for the
Ahoms, the Lungi Menace would not have been a menace at all, much
less the scourge it appears to be to some of our latter day Oxomiyas.
But Mirjumla's army was a wholly different issue. It had nothing
do with Aurangjeb's religion , their dietary habits or which way
they faced to say their prayers or being cut or intact; but
everything to do with defending against an invader.

That will depend on the degree of paranoia one harbors on the Great

America has 'What would Jesus do?' Would he buy an SUV? Would he
reelect the GOP?
And what would Lachit do if there were a bunch of Assamese holed up
in Bangladesh and destroying Assam in the process?
Just food for thought!
