Re: Conflicting Heroes

Third battle of panipat not only destroyed marathas but also decimated power of Ahmed Shah Abdali hence he didn’t invade any other city except Delhi. Agra, gwalior, ajmer all were saved because of this, Maratha empire disintegrated only after 1857, Majority of leaders of revolt were marathas, nana saheb, tatya tope, laxmi bai etc.

Ghaznavi’s raid was just to loot India, it is well known he has constructed beautiful capital named Ghazni through this, and even Brits attacked India because of resources

IT was to establish himself as leader of Islam and his own greed in shadow of spreading Islam

It was well known about its hidden treasures even. The siva linga idol had diamonds inside it when it was broken and yes somnath did take his revenge!!

how different Sikhs look different from Pashtoons?? and what do they say, I wish to know. William Dalrymple wrote about mughals in much better and researched way, question is what do you think about his work??

**what is negative told about him?? and ghouri is only considered invader even slave dynasty was established by Qutubuddin Aibak

They don’t have much resources in their country and they are from the tribe of pactyan very much similar to tribe of Jats, Scythian. Both have similar society even khap panchyat and Loya Jirga has similar organization structure.

Afghanistan pretty much connects to everything in the region. even if they want to live in peace, no one will allow them to do the same. And not every pashtoon was trouble for India, Pashtoons like Raskhan wrote dohas praising Bhagwan Krishn

Thanks for you inpt the kaur.

Ghauri is treted like hero and we have named our missiles after him, whereas India has Prithvi missiles. This shows conflict of Heroes.

Knowing that Ghoris attacks were just to loot or extend his state the only argument handy with his supporters is he was a Muslim and was attacking India to form a Muslim state.

For negative portayal of Prithvi, we have to go through the historical novels. As far a I know, Naseem Hijazi (the top most writer of historical novels) didn’t write a novel on Ghori and Ghori is given least coverage in text books compared to Ghaznavi. On the contrary, we don’t hear much of Jaipal from Indian side as compared to Prithvi.
