Both Bankim and Bhudev were made to pass the B. A. Exam on grace.
There is no reason to take Bankim as a serious historian. Besides, in
which novel did Bankim call the Pathan dominated Bengal a golden era?
If Bengal had any golden period at all, it was under the rule of the
Buddhists. "Since I have studied the Medieval period of both Europe,
Islamic civilization, and Bengal's history I know how rich and
big-hearted that period was. Medieval Bengal under the Muslim rule (or
the Pathan period, as Bankim calls the era), for instance, was
considered the Golden Age by Bankim." Had this lady really studied so
much, she could not find that period 'rich and big-hearted'. Which
period does she define as medieval? Isn't Salafism another name of
Wahabism? In my opinion, the Deobandis are closer to Salafism than
the Jamatis. Whoever may outcast Moududi, Ali Shariati, the Guru of
the Islamic revolution in Iran worked on the model put forward by him.
The aim of Islam is global domination right from the beginning. Had
it not been eradicated from Spain in the fifteenth century, they would
have probably conquered the American continents, and be nearer to
their goal.
