Our Prime Minister of country is going to inaugurate Refurnished
Tomb of Humayun’s situated in national capital Delhi. This tomb is refurnished
by Aga khan Trust. For many years Humayun’s tomb was an attractive centre for
drug addicts and unsocial elements passing their times in night and only after
USA president Obama visit this deserted place was reminded by Indians. Any monument in the country is erected or preserved
or maintained to remember the legacy of the person associated with it. Most of
Indians are unaware of personal knowledge of Humayun’s apart from that he was
son of first Mughals ruler Baber and fathered Akbar.
Let us know about the legacy (?) of Humayun’s whose tomb
is being inaugurated by prime minister of India.
Ghiyasuddin alias Khendamir, the author of Humayun Nama
tells us that Humayun had allotted "Mondays
and Wednesdays for pleasure parties and on these days some of his old
companions were convened, a band of musicians and singers was called, and all
their wishes were satisfied...Monday is the day of the Moon and Wednesday of
Mercury; and it was therefore reasonable that on these days, he should keep
company with young men beautiful as the moon." Obviously, like
his father Babur, Humayun too was a drunk yard, sodomite.
Humayun was an incapable ruler, even Muslim writers who
hardly portraits negative about their bread giver confirms this fact.
Haidar Mirza Deglat, another chronicler, author of the
Tarikh-i- Rashidi gives "a
vivid picture of the disorder and incapacity which marked the early reign of
Humayun." (Pg. 128, Elliot & Dowson)
We shall find that Humayun, though a prince of lively
parts and elegant accomplishments and brave on the whole of a humane temper, was
volatile, fond of pleasure, and deficient on those enlarge views so necessary
for conducting affairs of an extensive empire, as well as in that decision and
spirit of command, without which no prince can secure the respect and
confidence of his subjects.

After
reading these evidences how many readers thinks that why are we being gifted
with tombs of such inefficient persons or failed rulers while our legends Lord Rama
and Lord Krishna monuments are FAR FROM REALITY in secular state of India?
