Came across this on Twitter about some finer details of the Third Battle of Panipat..thought I would share it.

Same mistakes all over - releasing of Najeeb Khan who latter killed his former captor, Indian (Hindu) leaders themselves not helping one another due to petty quarrels even in face of outside threats..

The praiseworthy thing is the loyalty and bravery of Ibrahim Khan Gardi whose forefathers were Bhil warriors who converted to Islam during Shivaji's time...even though he was a Muslim and this battle was labelled as between Islamic forces and Hindu forces remained loyal to his king till the very last when he was brutally killed..


p.s: Can some one transalate the parts written in Marathi ?

When Indians can cheer for Israelis against Palestinians then there is no issue for Pakistanis cheering for Afghans.
