Had Dara not been betrayed by his own and had succeeded tot he throne then the course of Indian history would have been diffirent.Aurengzeb ascended the throne and virtually destroyed the social fabric that Akbar had built and amalgamated.

will any dara or any akbar ever be able to supercede what is written in The Book or what the prophet taught by his life example?
of course akbar tried that openly by decaring himself to have superceded the prophet. but whatever akbar "built", did not last even a decade after his death.
fringes dont define the mainstream. The Book is the unambiguous mainstream and sunnah its banks. No construction of dams over this river can alter the ground reality of its flow.
Solution is not window-dressing Islam, but rather undressing it, to show the poor muslims what it really is, and help the victims liberate themselves.
