This poor chap, @BharadwajSpeaks stayed up all night to craft abuse & bluster. For all his fury and performance anxiety, he has not countered a single refutation I had made.
Mediocrity sells and lies sell even better, but you can’t fool all the people, all the time!

The prolific use of Islamophobic terms such as “Madarsa-chhaap”, “desert-cult” and “Taqiyya” in this context, may appeal to lumpen minds. But they are no substitute for historiographical method and knowledge. The latter rely on facts and a correct interpretation of those facts.

So let us see the evasive, not to mention cut-paste jobs this syndicated-pamphleteer indulges in.
That Shivaji’s civil service numbered a mere 200 officers is a bad joke. It ignores the extent and structure of Maratha administration and the inter-operable roles of it’s officers.

By excluding several layers of Maratha bureaucracy, to posit his claims, @BharadwajSpeaks completely ignores the structure of the Ashta Pradhan, or Ruling Council of 8, each with elaborate and large secretariats of officers; civil and military.

In a bid to outshout historiographical facts, he makes loud claims such as these below. Besides the fact that the original argument was not about periods/timings of service, but service itself!
But shifting goalposts is a giveaway. The next tweet demolishes this claim however!

As we know, Rightwing Hindutva is the loudest proponent of the “Caste in Muslims” line.
Gullible Pasmanda activists fall for this charade while willing Quislings perpetuate it.
In this thread I give a rebuttal to each point of fitnāh made by this man.

Lie!
This is not an assertion of superiority but a genealogical frame merely tracing descent.
Nor is it comparable to Caste as institutionalised and practised by Vedic Brahminism.

NB: The Prophet (S.A.W.) in fact first took up arms against his own tribe, the Quraish.

The Quran is clear:
“He has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noah and that which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus - to establish the religion and not be divided therein...”

Surah Ash-Shūrá Quran 42:13

The fact is, the Quran and The Prophet (S.A.W) lay great stress on the characteristics of superiority being righteousness and piety.
Tribal (again, not comparable to the caste system) membership did not denote superiority in religion.
This is a basic difference from Casteism.

What amateurs!
A fatwa is a non-binding legal opinion.
