This is a story that was passed down from generations in my family. My ancestor goes back to mughal leader Alauddin Khilji in 1300 AD and his conquest of Mewar in Modern day Rajasthan where my family comes from… Alauddin Khilji was a great mughal ruler who conquered Rajasthan in a matter of weeks and killed off the king to take over the entire area. His first order of business was to spread Islam over the area and replace the ignorance of idol worshiping. During this time there were many protests and fights from hindus in the area. Alauddin did not take this kindly and swiftly silenced them. During a meeting with the military general and advisors, many said that the hindus in the area should be punished. While many pitched different ideas, Alauddin said that most of them don’t realize the benefit of being muslim and that they have tainted hindu blood. He said that it is their job to make sure that muslim blood is spread in the country. Birth rates in the area were low due to famine and hindus refusal to eat meat especially beef that is known to increase fertility. He said that if we have strong muslim men impregnate hindu wives, in a few 100 years, we can eliminate the hindu lineage from the area. The next day he gave a proclamation to the entire state. He said that all the locals will be punished for disobeying him but because he is merciful so he will spare their lives. He said that every town and village will be installed with a Muslim “Amir” who will rule over that area and will collect taxes and provide security for the area. In return, he said it is the duty of the village or town to reward the “Amir”.
