Moti Magri also proudly hosts the statue of Hakim Khan Sur Pathan, one of the trusted men of Maharana Pratap. Hakim Khan was a descendant of Sher Shah Suri of the Afghan region and joined Pratap to avenge the fall of his forefathers by the mughals.
Mughals were destroying several Hindu temples among other anti-Hindu activities and Rajputs were fighting Mughals to save Hindu religion. I guess the blessing (or curse) of diversity to India dates really back in history. Where Hakim Khan Sur Pathan of Afghan region was accepted as ‘our man’, a mughal, Akbar was not accepted as a ruler of Hindusthan.
But wasn’t Akbar born and brought up in this very Hindusthan? How was he a less ‘our man’ than a Afghani? And why did Mughal rulers who wanted to rule a Hindusthan start anti-Hindu activities? History sure has some interesting puzzles for everyone.
