#mughals

No the Mughals didn’t bring wealth into India. They presided over the wealth already present in India and mooched off of our people through backbreaking and religiously discriminatory taxes. The monuments they built were made by Indian labour and resources. They forced farsi onto the people, a foreign language. They were a classic example of settler colonialism and would’ve taken all the money and resources out of India had there been trains invented in their era. They were no different than the British, the only difference is that there were far more frequent massacres of the native people under Mughals— many jallianwallah baghs of their own making that were wiped out from public memory and history textbooks in schools of independent India.
