India Mughal-Maratha Period (1500CE -1800CE) Introduction


by Bijoy Misra
Islam was promoted as a revelation to prophet Mohammed with a religious slogan of separating the humanity into two camps – believers and non-believers. The creed was that the believers can receive the Allah’s mercy and the nonbelievers must perish through starvation or annihilation. Strange as though it my sound, it justified massive killings in the name of religious purification. Islam traveled through sword.

Form seeks to merge with the formless, motions seek to become a part of the motionless, and the dancing individual seeks to become one with the eternal dance of the cosmos.
