Raja Dahir as Sindhi nationalist : GM Syed
For instance Raja Dahir is respected as a nationalist, as a hero of Sindh, but the imperialists call Raja Dahir as an
infidel. But Raja Dahir was a great man. My thesis is as follows:
1. When he came to know that Yazid was harassing Imam Hussain, the grandson of Prophet Mohammed, Raja
Dahir invited him to come and settle in Sindh under his protection. It is said that the Imam had started coming
towards Sindh and Yazid knew that he had started, along with the members of his family. You can understand
from this intention why a non-Muslim invited Imam Sahib, and on the other hand the so-called Muslim ruler,
Yazid, killed him. You can imagine the greatness of this Hindu ruler.
2. After the martyrdom of Imam Hussain, one of his followers, on account of the tyranny of Hijaj-bin-Yousif,
came to Sindh. Raja Dahir gave him protection. Hijaj demanded from Raja Dahir to give back Muhammad Bin-Alafi and his people to the Arabs. This, Raja Dahir refused to return. It is said that he sent Muhammad-Bin-
Alafi, after the defeat of Raja Dahir, to Allahabad side from where some of his descendants recently migrated to
Sindh.
1. Muhammad-Bin-Alafi along with his tribes joined Raja Dahir's army and on several occasions succeeded in
showing the bravery, on which Raja Dahir wanted to reward him. He refused to accept such a reward, saying
that giving protection under his rule was a sufficient reward for him, on that Raja Dahir ordered to
commemorate the memory of that success, the name of Muhammad-Bin-Alafi be engraved on other side of the
coin and then the coin be minted.
2. During Raja Dahir's days, his toleration was so much that he allowed Stupas of Buddha to continue in Sindh,
where the Bikhshoos of Buddha continued to remain. On the other side, the Hindu temples were allowed for the
worship of Hindus, and also Janis temples were allowed to remain in Sindh and those Muslims who had
migrated to Sindh during his days were allowed to construct mosques. Parsis too had their fire temples during
his days. Most of the followers of these religions had patronage of the Government. If you read history, you will
find that Muhammad-Bin-Qasim, the so-called captain, on conquering the country, looted crores of rupees from
Sindh and thousands of men and women were made slaves for the benefit of Arab soldiers or those slave girls
were sold in Arab bazaars. He ordered all the persons who did not surrender to the new invaders, to be killed
and their property looted. Look at the same peoples of Sindh, who on the misleading of Arabs, now consider
Muhammad-Bin-Qasim the champion of Islam. People celebrated his days but the person who sacrificed his life
for his country and had many qualities, is called a Kafir. Many false stories are fabricated to malign Raja Dahir.
