Most of these temples must have crumbled on their own since they were abandoned during partition. No one was left to take care of them. On both sides of the border, this was the fate of many Mandirs, Gurdwaras and Masjids.

In Modern times, the Muslims who had perfected the art of missionary activity and converted non Muslims to Islam were the Ahmadis. But they are not regarded as Muslims by Muslims. The Tablighi Jamaat only preach to Muslims and make them better Muslims. That is true. By advertising it and even...

Glad to see Harcharan Singh. Hope he faithfully serves his nation and makes all Pakistan proud. Thanks for sharing these pictures

In a truly secular state, everyone should be allowed to convert to any religion they want. No one should be persecuted or killed for converting just as long as it is done in free will. If one wants to become a Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh or even an atheist it is their business.

I have limited understanding on this issue as my information on this topic is not as extensive as yours, so forgive my ignorance. Now Baloch insurgents I can imagine probably do have links with RAW, but how does ttp have a RAW link when they are ideologically poles apart? one side are ultra...

As always, great post Ghoul. Interesting info.

The victories that ISIS has won is impressive. Small number of fighters using blitzkrieg attacks won against the Iraqi army. It seems this is the type of victory Taliban will also have in Afghanistan soon enough against the ANA. When the Taliban eventually take over Afghanistan, it will have bad...

The ignorance is really astounding of US youth. Just last year a Sikh professor was attacked by a group of black youths because they thought he looked like Osama. PressTV - Prabhjot Singh, Sikh Columbia professor, attacked in hate crime

Thank you so much for sharing this

Unlike Hari Singh Nalwa who was killed in battle, Amar Singh Majithia was not killed in such a way. He was governor for 2 years before he was killed. He had many similarities to Hari Singh Nalwa. The both were good generals, both were known for their sheer physical strength. Amar Singh was an...

From my limited understanding of this, Mullah Fazlullah is the reason for the division and subsequent weakening of the ttp. If he is killed and a new leader is elected in his place who then manages to unite all of the divided and breakaway factions of the ttp as it was under Baitullah and...

In Sikh scripture there is a composition called Babur Bani written by Guru Nanak about 5 hundred years ago. It basically tells of the Mughal invasion of India as seen by Guru Nanak who was an eye witness to the invasion. He uses the term "Pathan" for the (Lodhi) rulers of India who fought...

They must be Sikh pilgrims who visit Bangladesh's historic Gurdwara. Since the last few years many Sikhs from India who live in Indian states near Bangladesh have begun going to Bangladesh to visit historic places where Guru Nanak visited.

Racist imperial British Empire in India

Good point. Guerilla warfare would have been much more effective method for fighting. This is especially true for when Timur and Babur invaded. During Babur's invasion, he had cannons and his small army was extremely disciplined. The Afghans and later the Rajput coalition would have been much...

Originally when abdali had begun his military operations in India they were just border raids. But eventually he began acquiring wealth and capturing military equipment of the Mughals and became strong enough to take on the full might of the powerful Mughal Suba of Lahore. At the time the Sikhs...

Marathas of that time period were good fighters. But some say it was overconfidence of the Marathas that resulted in their loss. Surajmal the Jat wanted the Marathas to do guerrilla fighting with the Afghans instead having a conventional battle with the much experienced Abdali but they would not...

Abdali invaded India not to attack Sikhs but to build his Afghan empire and also to oppose the rising Jats of Bharatpur and Marathas. At the time Punjab was being ruled by the Mughals not the Sikhs and the Sikhs were not on Abdali's radar screen. So when he invaded Punjab he fought against the...

It's not an insult. Taking and securing the Indus was security enough. Taking the lands west of Indus are a liability for any nation. That land is better left with Afghanistan. Experienced generals like Akali Phula Singh and Hari Singh Nalwa would have been better utilized in defending the...

anyone can become CM of Punjab as long as they have the votes and are good for the state.
