Following content moved from article. It can be put back after discussion. Jay 18:48, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)
"Although a grandson of the Muslim apostate Akbar the Great he was a firmly orthodox Muslim who initiated forty-eight military campaigns against non-Muslims in less than thirty years. Following the Ottoman practice, on coming to the throne in 1628 he killed all his male relatives except one who escaped to Persia. "
"In Benares during his reign 76 Hindu temples were destroyed, as well as Christian churches at Agra and Lahore. At the end of the three month siege of the Portuguese enclave of Hugh, he had ten thousand inhabitants massacred and four thousand were later killed after refusing to convert to Islam. "
"Shah Jahan had 5,000 concubines and also conducted affairs with his daughters Chamani and Jahanara."
Hi. The source I used was [[here|http://www.frontpagemagazine.com/articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=4649]. A hostile article, but I tried to take out the factual statements. I will try and see if I have the source book and get any footnotes.
Title
I have changed the supposed full title "Padshah Shah Jahan I" to Shah Jahan. I've never heard of such a title. Google also returns only Wikipedia-related sites. Jay 18:53, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Image
Hi AxelBoldt, why have you put back the image ? Any idea why it was removed in the first place ? Jay 18:53, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- I don't know why it was removed and there's no record in the article's history. I have restored it because it seems relevant. AxelBoldt 11:12, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
My God, I can't believe people are citing Serge Trifkovic as a source on history. Thats like me using Anne Coulter or Michael Moore in an article on American politicss. DigiBullet 20:32, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Fratricide
"most Mughal Emperors killed their fathers upon succession." What is the basis for this statement ? Jay 07:13, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
