BTW i think Istanbul is also a city plundered by attackers..Am i right?
Maybe, but as far as I have been able to dig out I can safely say that the areas constituting today's Afghanistan, Pakistan and Northern India have been invaded maybe more than any other area in the world. It was continuous for centuries and centuries, and look at Afghanistan and Pakistan even now. The strategic location which should have been a plus point has proven to be a curse for these countries.
I think cities like Baghdad, Bukhara, Balakh also remained on hitlist of invaders.
I think large area of cultivated land....resulted in rich agricultural industry...and prosperity...
And accumulated wealth different temples in form of golds and precious stone...was also a reason...
Rich basins of sindhu and ganga were target of invaders..Have you heard about recent discovery of great wealth in Sri Padmanabh swami temple of kerala?

Baghdad is still unstable, as well as Afghanistan and Pakistan. I used to have some tableeghi jamaat friends while in university and they used to believe that Hazrat Imam Mehdi could come from any of these areas thats why the US will try to keep those areas unstable. Can this have to do something with the New World Order/Christian religious texts?

Same manner jerusalem was attacked many times...
may be new world order has something to do with it...
I still dont get why us has Pyramid on its currency notes?
Yes it got something with religious emotions of three religions.
I'm currently reading Karen Armstrong's book on Crusades. It discusses the importance of Jerusalem from all three religions point of view. Hope to open some threads on that shortly :)
I think Mahabharat's Kurkshetra was near Delhi and if the city was present in those times, it might got affected by the epic war.
^ Kurkshetra was a few hundred kilometers North West of Delhi, but not too far I remember the Mahratha Army in 1761 went on a pilgramage to that area and was caught off guard, also Panipat itself is on the main road towards Delhi and it was the site of many large battles of the Mahabharata war so yeah if Delhi was present theres no doubt it would have been affected.
Sometimes a City does not have to be involved in a conflict for it to be sacked, it only teeks a few reffugees from one battle to go to such a city for shelter which would incur the wrath of the invaders to raze the city.
Delhi is called Indraprastha, in mahabharat, capital of Pandavs, the heroes, before that it was capital of their ancestor and was called Khandavprastha, thier cousins, villains, had capital in Hastinapur near meerut, 60 kms north west of delhi:)
Delhi was worst affected during the revolt of 1857, the British indian army looted delhi from may to mid september, though the that period has various emotions too:)
