Re: Saat baar looti gai Dilli

I think cities like Baghdad, Bukhara, Balakh also remained on hitlist of invaders.

:hmmm: she approached you too :eek: boht hi mard maar qism ki khatoon thi

Re: Saat baar looti gai Dilli

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?

Re: Saat baar looti gai Dilli

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?

Re: Saat baar looti gai Dilli

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?

Re: Saat baar looti gai Dilli

Yes heard about that. What did they do of that gold? Indian Zardari ne Swiss bank to nahin bhej dia?

Re: Saat baar looti gai Dilli

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 :)

Re: Saat baar looti gai Dilli

Yet to decide its fate....some voices are asking to use that money for welfare of people...

But that wealth belongs to royal family of travancore and they want temple should have that money....:D

Re: Saat baar looti gai Dilli

Maybe the Northern Chinese Border and the Mexican American border are the only other places that can say they have been ravaged by so many passers by…

By the way Its interesting to note that perhaps more invasions are still on the cards… :bummer:

Re: Saat baar looti gai Dilli

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:)

Re: Saat baar looti gai Dilli

BTW, whose turn it was to loot.. Gujjars or Jats?

Re: Saat baar looti gai Dilli

Delhi was looted by the rebellious british indian army then comprised of purbiyas of awadh, there were divisions from bareilly, neemach,allahbad, miners and sappers from meerut, Gujjar and jats looted mostly people who ran out of delhi, in may it were brits in september targets were muslims and baniyas:D, Jats looted only on mehrauli, western side, gujjar looted in remaining three side. Delhi city was looted by purbiyas

Re: Saat baar looti gai Dilli

Jatts were just getting revenge. The British Army used native sepoys from the Delhi, Oudh and Bengal armies to conquer punjab.

It was only natural that when the Mutiny took place, Jatt and Pathan as well as Rajput troops were on the avenging team with the British...

War is terrible.
