Reborn In 17th century India with Black Technology

174  Dharmic Islam And Christianity Part: 1

The work for the split of the Secret Service started immediately. The people working outside the Empire automatically joined the Bhartiya External Pragya, and they did not feel anything different from their day-to-day work, as their leader was Roshan as always. More people were recruited and assigned jobs throughout the week of reorganization.

Selvan assumed control of Bhartiya Internal Pragya, where all individuals working within the empire were directly assigned to him. Under his leadership, significant changes were implemented. He removed most agents operating at higher government levels, which were rife with corruption and bolstered the workforce at the ground level. The size of Bhartiya Internal Pragya expanded rapidly, facing no human resource constraints, as the requirements for becoming an agent in this department were minimal, just a bit of foresight, keen vision to spot what was needed, some acting talent, and knowledge about the surrounding areas were sufficient. Within the week, numerous agents were enlisted for Bhartiya Internal Pragya. With the exception of Selvan, Vijay, and a few core agents, the agents themselves remained unfamiliar with each other. To prevent any mixing among the agents, they were stationed in separate areas to monitor their turf independently. These agents held regular jobs such as policemen, civil servants, merchants, shop owners, etc., while also fulfilling their side role of collecting information for the Bhartiya Internal Pragya, taking two salaries.

However, the main challenge lay in sorting out such a vast amount of RAW data from an extensive network of agents. The majority of Bhartiya Internal Pragya's manpower was utilized for this task. To address this issue, Selvan recruited individuals from the military academy to assess the usefulness of the information, classifying it from E to S.

As for Aditya in the Bharatiya Sainik Pragya, as there was no previous existence of a department like this, he had to start from scratch. However, he was not hopeless; he recruited his previous subordinates under his command. A small hiccup occurred during the recruitment process, as his subordinates had to go through Vijay's approvals. Vijay ordered them to be put into the Military Academy for training in the hardest setting to see if any of them would break and reveal something they shouldn't have. At the same time, he ordered Roshan to collect information about them in the Mughal Empire. Since Roshan had only one aspect of intelligence to take care of, he quickly gathered the information. It turns out all of Aditya's subordinates were part of his resistance team against the Mughal Empire. So, Vijay let his guard down for the moment. Still, to be careful, he appointed someone he trusted as the deputy of Bharatiya Sainik Pragya.

Vijay decided to adopt Bharatiya Sainik Pragya, associated with the military, for carrying out some unorthodox tasks for the empire, keeping it a secret within the military and at the highest level of governance. Bharatiya External Pragya and Bharatiya Internal Pragya would be made public for everyone to see. There were several reasons for this, with the main one being for the departments to be accountable to the empire and visible to everyone. It also added a layer of deterrence among the elite of society. Vijay added a clause: no matter which intelligence department, if it is found out that an agent has taken any money from the outside world, the agent who took the money will be put to death, no matter how small the amount. Vijay did this to cut off the hands of the elites who would want to have their eyes and ears around the Empire and the government.

The government soon took over Roshan and his department from Vijay as the information poured in from outside the empire. Vijay only took over the Bharatiya internal Pragya for himself because he felt that as an emperor, it was the most important intelligence report he should pay attention to. It is the current mood of the common person towards the empire. It is his duty to ensure that the Empire is internally stable. It does not matter if the external intelligence is messed up; he will get another chance. But if there are troubles internally, there will be no other chance. So, Vijay ordered a daily report on the emotions of the people towards the emperor. Two new constructions started in Bengaluru, the future capital of the empire for the establishment of Bharatiya external Pragya and Bharatiya internal Pragya. The sizes of the buildings were large; each building was the size of the Pentagon in width. As for the height, it was only left with one floor in case it is necessary to expand in the future.

After addressing the details about the intelligence departments, Vijay sat down to lunch that Kavya brought in. He then proceeded to read the Holy Book of Islam and the Holy Book of Christianity to identify problematic lines or ideologies within them. Vijay noted that although the holy books of both these faiths are similar in most cases, they are quite different from the Quran and Bible he encountered in his previous life. In this timeline, he observed that the holy books are a bit on the radical side of things. Starting with the Holy Book of Islam, after reading it, he got a headache as there were too many things that he felt needed to be changed.

For example, these versus that was against the idol worshippers.

Surah IV, verse 76: "Believers fight for the cause of Allah, while disbelievers do battle for the cause of idols. So fight the minions of the devil"

Surah II, verse 193: "Fight against them until idolatry is no more"

Surah II, verse 217: "Idolatry is worse than carnage" Or this verse about polygamy

Verse 4:3: "If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, two, or three"

It does say only for orphans but who knows how its followers interpret it. These verses about jihad

2:190: "And fight in the way of God with those who fight you, but aggress not: God loves not the aggressors". Muslim scholars believe that this verse implicitly forbids killing non-combatants, including women and children.

9:5: Understands to mandate fighting against all non-Abrahamic non-Muslims until they convert.

9:29: Requires fighting against the People of the Book until they either submit to Muslim rule.

2:216: About Jihad in the way of God.

9:1-11: Extolled the notion of jihad martyrdom in the Holy Book Of Islam. Next was the Holy Book of Christianity, and it presented the same problem. For instance, verses about the conversion of others were problematic. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Matthew's gospel. Matthew reports that Jesus said, "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 18:3: "Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven".

Matthew 10:14: "And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet".

This verse about Christ claiming Himself as the only true God and the idol worshipers being equated to worshippers of Satan was also problematic.

Exodus 20:3–6: "You shall have no other gods before me"

Exodus 20:4-5: "You must not make any idols. Don't make any statues or pictures of anything up in the sky or of anything on the earth or of anything down in the water. Don't worship or serve idols of any kind, because I, the LORD, am your God"

1 Corinthians 10:14: "Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry"

1 John 5:21: "Little children, keep yourselves from idols"

There were many verses like the above within both the Holy Book Of Islam and the Holy Book of Christianity. If he had to list out everything within one sitting, it would take hours and hours. Overall, after reading both the Holy Book of Christianity and the Holy Book Of Islam, he felt funny and angry.

"What are they thinking about themselves? Is the Holy Book of Christianity the Captain America and the Holy Book Of Islam the Iron Man, sometimes fighting themselves in civil war and thinking too highly of themselves, regarding all the other polytheistic faiths as the Chitauri army that must be destroyed? What a load of crap."

Vijay felt very disgusted about how highly both the followers of the protagonists think of themselves, claiming their masters are the supreme beings above everyone, simultaneously preaching to the worshippers to let go of their pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth when he could see no one better embodying all those seven sins better than the heads of the followers themselves.

Flaunting oneself's god as almighty and supreme—is that not pride? Wanting the world to follow their god's teachings—is that not greed? And a man marrying a 6-year-old and impregnating the same girl at nine, and also defending it as a religious law—is that not lust and degeneracy? Many other instances when our protagonist's followers show envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth.

Vijay always believed that it was a man who created religion because no religious book talks about dinosaurs, and in some way or another, the book is biased towards a man. The only difference between Sanatana Dharma and Abrahamic faith is that Abrahamic faith wanted to use religion as a tool to take over the world, while Sanatan Dharma or any Dharmic faith sees it as a tool to understand the world better.

Vijay would never claim that Sanatana Dharma is perfect as he knows that there are some bastard existences in it and also new characters keep popping up that are just embodiments of sin, this happened because the Dharmic faith is very liberal; people have the liberty to interpret the divine as they see fit. Sometimes, the result this produces is not always good. One instance is in the northern side of India when the Islamic invasions of the Pathans took place. A priest's wife and daughter were raped and killed. In revenge, he hunted down the Pathans one by one and gave them as a sacrifice to a deity. Although the intent seems to be to seek revenge, the concern arises about when this will stop and not become a ritual that people think they should do. Similar rituals could be found throughout the ancient literature in Sanatan Dharma. Fortunately, since Dharma is very liberal, people choose not to follow these practices in the 21st century, and no one calls them blasphemers.

After identifying all the faults and problematic things within the two Abrahamic books, Vijay fell into contemplation about how to change them.

To Be Continued...

P.S. Did a little change yet to prove another point that no one will care if anyone shits on Hindus and their gods it's only the Abrahamic religions that people care. Ahhhh, I'm jealous.

P.S. Again In this timeline the holy book is different don't @me

P.S. Apparently India also has some sort of blasphemy law, so had to be careful. Like it ? Add to library！
