The Moghul Emperor's Uzbeg apparrat which spread over his domain, was drawn
from amongst his familiar central Asian cousins. They ruled as provincial
governors, and in the twilight of the Empire, seized power for themselves, to
become self-proclaimed Nawabs: Adil Shah of Bahamani was one of them. He had
demolished Vijaynagar, a cultural icon, earlier, a loss that equals the fall of
Dilli and the Great Plain. He then used a Kurdish general to conquer Goa. That
nexus surprises, for there was no love lost between Kavkasian and Mungal: we
see it in todays bloody standoff between the Persian Pashtun and the dominant
Usbegh army, in Afghanistan.
My point : the oppression we saw was "foreign" and "colonial", not
"muslim", or "catholic", for that matter.
Hominids dont always care about good manners: i used to raid Parsee
weddings, but only for spicy mutton, not their turf. The Tamil Vaskan/Vasc
stole Europe from the Africans who earlier had eaten off the Neanderthal. Our
Kaltic cousins then did in the Basque, and were in turn routed by the newer
Ugric model, the Dunariyas of the Duna (Danube) basin ( who prefer to be called
Anglo-Saxons).
Another point to ponder: without the benefit of the "muslim"/"catholic"
interval, we would still have been happy users of the alien Kanarin script of
Vijaynagar, alien that is to kavakas-ugric sarasvatic of Kandahar (Kanderi).
And a p.s. - Shri Faleiro's column is included in the caste- expose dossier
that will be forwarded to Westminster and Canterbury, very soon !
