A Brief History of The Warrior Rajputs

.
Two reasons, Dahir captured some Muslim ships and Dahir allowed some Shias to settle in Sindh.

That was the fabrication to justify Arab conquest of Sindh, there are also other fabrication about Dahir's married life when Hindus strictly don't intermarry in the same bloodline and clan. Arab conquest of Sindh was get control of vital trade route and other reason was him giving asylum to Muhammad Bin Allafi.

My point by point rebuttal:

1) I talked about the "The History of Modern Day India", not of Pakistan. I firmly stand by every data I put in the list. And, as far as the Hindu rule of the Sub-continent, it continued for thousand and thousand and thousand years. There is no dispute over it.

2) The so called Muslim rule of the sub-continent was the 120-130 years of Mughals(1556-1680) of Uzbekistan. Almost every Mughal rulers(Akbar, Jahangir, Shah Jahan) either used to go the Brahmins for blessings or used Mughal treasury to build Hindu temple.India muslims take pride it it, not some low-life pakistanis. Only Aurangzeb refused to bow down before Brahmins. As a result, Brahmins poped up the Marathas who humiliated them, subjugated them and forced the mughals to bow before brahmins. The main strategist for the rise of the Maratha Empire was a Gaur Brahmin.

Delhi Sultanate(1206-1526/1556) was a kingdom of only gangetic plane. They had no control over west India, Central India, South India, a large part of East India and Himalayan kingdoms. During this time, it was Business as usual for Brahmins.

3)There is no deference as Hind and Sind over IVC .

Provinces with Indus Valley Civilization Sites: Sindh, Rajasthan, Punjab(both East & West), UP, Gujrat, Baluchistan, Haryana, Kashmir, Maharashtra.


4) Vedic civilization was mainly a Gangetic Civilization with all the vedic texts written in the boundary of modern day India.


5) Yes, Hindus persecuted Buddhists and Jains between 5th and 8th century. Many jain temples turned into Hindu temples. Nalanda was already in a bad condition before the turks came. Mihirakula, a Hun and a follower of Shiva, first attacked Nalanda. But, later all became friends. In constitution of India, Hindu means Buddhists, Jains , Hindus and Sikhs.


6) There should not be an iota of doubt that most of the Muslims of Indian sub-continent were backward class Hindus.


7)Hinduism was a preeminent religion in Afghanistan along with other native religions. In Mahabharata, many characters are found having their homes in Afghanistan. Again, Samarkand, one of the favorite places of Babur, is named after a Hindu monk,Markanda. It clearly shows the influence of Hinduism even in the central Asia.


I again post the list. It is absolutely accurate. Challenge me if you can.

Yes, I have read that he gave asylum to Muhammad Bin Allafi, the follower of Iman Hussain. I also heard that Sindhi Muslims still keep lots of admiration for Raja Dahir.
Alternative narratives: ‘History rewritten to further political ends’ – The Express Tribune
The muhammad qasim episode had a zilch effect on the socio-political-religious aspect of India. Pakistanis are too much preoccupied with it. :lol:

Ghau still means cow in Urdu and Hindi no?

It is a hindutva theory like the one claiming Mexicans are Hindu probably another pseudo historian you guys are famous for, Ghauris were either Turks or Iranian Tajiks.

Read a book *the Pathans* the ghauris,ghilzais are Turkics who adopted the Pashtun customs n traditions .. N to some extend even intermingled with the Pashtuns..
 
.
Yes, I know. Shivaji's ancestry is not yet clear. That's why I said, "Shivaji is said to be a Sisodia Rajput."

Writings in the Mughal Court are found cursing Shivaji as a Rajput.

Actually it was Shahaji Raje, Shivaji's father who used to say that he is rajput.

Brother, what about the Baluch ? I remember reading somewhere that the Baluch came to these lands thousands of years ago from present-day Iraq - Is there some truth in this or is this another one of those origin myths that everyone seems to have ?


According to myths it's Aleppo not Iraq .. Historical proof says Medes were our ancestors .. Historically,culturally n linguistically Kurds are our cousins ..

@A Town why is it hard for you to believe some Rajputs became Muslim? :D

In fact if you read The Preaching of Islam by British author Thomas Arnold you will have a heart attack if you read what he wrote about Rajputs. :rofl:



Not everyone is Mughal though so you are half right. :enjoy:
I don't doubt that some Rajputs became Muslim, I just doubt that Rathores, Chauhans and Tomars became Muslim like Multani claimed.

Some of them did obviously not in large numbers although I recommend you read the book I mentioned specifically the chapter on India.

Baluch people are Eastern Iranian group most likely related to the Kurds, there are a lot of Kurds in Iraq so they could be from Iraq although obviously that does not mean they are Arabs.

That was the fabrication to justify Arab conquest of Sindh, there are also other fabrication about Dahir's married life when Hindus strictly don't intermarry in the same bloodline and clan. Arab conquest of Sindh was get control of vital trade route and other reason was him giving asylum to Muhammad Bin Allafi.

Give me source that it was fabricated although I agree that it was just an excuse to conquer.

If Dahir Allowed some shia victims to settle in Sindh then what was Bin Qasim Problem?
and After winning what Qasim did with those victims?

He allowed some shias who had fought with the Caliph to settle in Sindh which was the problem so the Caliph demanded he let them go but it is a South Asian custom to protect guests so he said no.

Anyway nothing happened to them really because MBQ got called back and executed for some dubious reason. Sindh later was ruled by Shias when areas east of Iraq gained autonomy many local dynasties included as was Punjab which had a shia sultanate centered around Multan.

Buddhism didn't disappear in the time of Pushyamitra Sunga but disappeared in the time of Ghauri who sent Khiljis to plunder Buddhist Stupas, the five great Buddhist universities of India Nalanda, Vikramshila, Jaggadala, Somapura and Odantapura were destroyed at the time of Ghauri. Buddhism started to decline after the Hun invasion after the fall of Gupta Dynasty. The Gupta had great patronage for Buddhism and even funded many Buddhist Viharas.

Persecution is recorded by Buddhist themselves and of course it did not totally disappear under his rule but it declined greatly.
