These posts also give an excellent window on Mughal ruling party divisions - Turani and Hinsutani. In addition I always wondered at the different paths of development of both Karnataka and Telengana even though both had Muslim rulers- Hyder Ali of Mysore, Bijapur, Bidar and Golconda and Hyderabad. I realize that it was the Nizam's move to Deccan to found a new kingdom that has dhimmified Telengana and created its state of 'other'.
I think Aurganzeb's destruction of the Shia Kingdoms who were based on Turkish origins was a significant event in the growth of Islam. Are there any accounts of Mughal writers if the destruction was based on fears of Shia rise in India? Recall it was the same time as Safavid rise in Iran.
