Jaziah

Rules like Jaziah were created by brutal kings and emperors who also claimed to profess some religion as excuse to subjugate people. 

They would have created any other suitable rules or tools too, to  achieve the same objectives, had they not have this pre-sanctioned religious excuse up their sleeves. It was wolf and lamb story where come what may wolf would devour the lamb with any excuse, this has nothing to do with any religion or faith or race. 

Rulers of all kinds including Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims, Greeks, Roman, Chinese, Kushans, Huns, Parthians, Sakas, Vakahataka, Mauryas, Guptas,  Pallavas, Cholas, etc etc right up to Mughals, Dutch, Portuguese  and British; were all brutal and selfish when required, and had only objectives of enslaving every resident irrespective of the faiths or color or race, conquering other states and creating wealth and power for themselves and for their descendants. That’s it. They deployed every mean to achieve that. Religion has nothing to do with those methods, it was mean for that though. It could be jaziah for muslims or outright massacres as was done by British after 1857 or Ghazni 800 years Ashoka 2000 years back. Common muslims or Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, Buddh  or atheists have nothing to do with that. 

Present generation of Hindus and Muslims or other citizens of different faiths have nothing to feel accountable for deeds or misdeeds,  of Mughals, Greeks , Christians, Chinese, Hun, Han, Kushan, Shung, Tormanam, SakadGupt, Kanishka, Khilji, Ranjeet Singh, Chandra Gupta, Pallava, Satvahanas, Shivaji , Nizams, Califs, Pandvas, or even British or any rulers or so even invader of distant past. 

Organisations of antisocial bigoted ideology play with future of our generation by releasing and unleashing their rabid foot soldiers on social media and other platforms to vitiate peaceful atmosphere of the country. 

Love everyone and follow good deeds as per acceptable moral standards of today. Otherwise we are already accelerating fast downhill to meet our annihilation under rogues sponsored supremacism unless checked.
