Aurengzeb’s
Problem |
|||||
Francois
Bernier traveled Muslim India during 1657-1668 in the reign of Aurengzeb
Alamgir (d. 1707) who was the last stable Moghul emperor of
Mullah Gi!
Monsieur the Doctor! Do you pretend that I ought to exalt you to the first honors
of the state? Let us then examine your title to any mark of distinction. I do
not deny you would possess such a title if you had filled my young mind with
suitable instruction. Show me a well-educated youth, and I will say that it
is doubtful who has the stronger claim to his gratitude, his father or his
tutor. But what was the knowledge I derived under your tuition? You taught me
that the whole of Franguistan (Europe) was no more than some inconsiderable
island, of which the most powerful monarch was formerly the King of Portugal,
then he of Admirable
geographer! Deeply read historian! Was it not incumbent upon my preceptor to
make me acquainted with the distinguishing features of every nation of the
earth; its resources and strength, its mode of warfare, its manners,
religion, form of government, and wherein its interests principally consist;
and by a regular course of historical reading, to render me familiar with the
origin of States, their progress and decline; the events, accidents or
errors, owing to which such great changes and mighty revolutions, have been
affected?
Far from having
imparted to me a profound and comprehensive knowledge of the history of
mankind, scarcely did I learn from you the names of my ancestors, the
renowned founders of this empire. You kept me in total ignorant of their
lives, of the events which preceded, and the extraordinary talents that
enabled them to achieve their extensive conquests. A familiarity
with the languages of surrounding nations may be indispensable in a king; but
you would teach me to read and write Arabic; doubtless conceiving that you
placed me under an everlasting obligation for sacrificing so large a portion
of time to the study of a language wherein no one can hope to become
proficient without ten or twelve years of close application. Forgetting how
many subjects ought to be embraced in the education of a prince, you acted as
if it were chiefly necessary that he should possess great skill in grammar,
and such knowledge as belongs to a Doctor of Law; and thus did you waste the
precious hours of my youth in the dry, unprofitable, and never-ending task of
learning words! …. You gave my
father, Shah Jehan, to understand that you instructed me in philosophy; and,
indeed, I have a perfect remembrance of your having, during several years,
harassed my brain with idle and foolish propositions, the solution of which
yield no satisfaction to the mind, propositions that seldom enter into the
business of life; wild and extravagant reveries conceived with great labor,
and forgotten as soon as conceived, whose only effect is to fatigue and ruin
the intellect, and to render a man headstrong and insufferable (their
Philosophy abounds with even more absurd and obscure notions than our own –
Bernier). O yes, you
caused me to devote the most valuable years of my life to your favorite
hypotheses, or systems, and when I left you, I could boast of no greater
attainment in the sciences than the use of many obscure and uncouth terms,
calculated to discourage, confound, and appall a youth of the most masculine
understanding (their Philosophers employ even more gibberish than ours do –
Bernier): terms invented to cover the vanity and ignorance of pretenders to
philosophy; of men who, like yourself, would impose the belief that they
transcend others of their species in wisdom, and that their dark and
ambiguous jargon conceals many profound mysteries known only to themselves. If you had
taught me that philosophy which adapts the mind to reason, and will not
suffer it to rest satisfied with anything short of the most solid arguments;
if you had inculcated lessons which elevate the soul and fortify it against
the assaults of fortune, tending to produce that enviable equanimity which is
neither insolently elated by prosperity, not basely depressed by adversity;
if you had made me acquainted with the nature of man; accustomed me always to
refer to first principles, given me a sublime and adequate conception of the
universe, and of the order and regular motion of its parts; – if such I say,
had been the nature of the philosophy imbibed under your tuition, I should be
more indebted to you than Alexander was to Aristotle, and should consider it
my duty to bestow a very different reward on you than Aristotle received from
that Prince. Answer me,
sycophant! Ought you not to have instructed me on one point at least, so
essential to be known by a king; namely, on the also to have foreseen that I
might, at some future period, be compelled to contend with my brothers, sword
in hand, for the crown, and for my very existence? Such, as you must well
know, has been the fate of the children of almost every king of Did you ever
instruct me in the art of war, how to besiege a town, or draw up an army in
battle array? Happy for me that I consulted wiser heads than thine (you) on
these subjects! Go! Withdraw to thy (your) village. Henceforth let no person
know either who thou art (you are), or what is become of thee. (Author:
Francois Bernier, Excerpts from Travels in the Mogul Empire)
