Failure of Brutal Strategy - How persecution of Guru Tegh Bahadur worked against the Mughal State

The story of the persecution of Guru Tegh Bahadur spread like wildfire. It filled the entire Hindu community with strong desire to dethrone Aurangzeb. The Mughal Empire soon collapsed, and disintegrated to several princely States.

A Sikh Empire came into being and took over Northern Western parts of the country - Punjab, upto Kashmir. Hinduism survived in Kashmir for next few centuries until 1990. Adi Saiva community continued their peaceful existence during the Sikh rule.

In 17th century the Mughal persecuted the ancient Hindu communities to destroy Indian culture at the grassroots levels completely. The Mughal Era ended with brutal destruction of all temples - the first pillar of Hinduism . They were followed by the British rulers who destroyed the Gurukul Education System, the second pillar of Hinduism . In 21st century the same was continued by the Extremist Hindu Militant Forces - BJP, RSS, VHP to create one-ideology 'guruless' Hinduism which they can exclusively control and lead. Thus they are now attacking and destroying the final pillar of Hinduism - The Gurus, and the

unbroken multi-millenia old lineage.
