People clutch at any straw when they are desperate.
This has been pulled out of thin air and spread by our Marxist and Islamist apologist historians like Romila Thapar and Irfan Habib just so that no one dares talk about the bigotry of the Islamic invaders.
And no doubt, the global Islamists have latched on to it.
Re Shunga -The thing is that the outsiders (out of South Asia) cannot digest the fact that India, while a majority Hindu state, had emperors that came from minority religions and castes that are considered lower today.
It is mind boggling to them how could people from the minority could come and rule entire state and yet the majority lived peacefully. So they look for anything, even a lone case to build their lies, and it comes in the form of first Brahmin king - Pushyamitra Shunga.
Yet, what they forget is if there were even a slight form of persecution, the pilgrimage temple and Bodhi Satva peepal tree wouldn't have survived. On the contrary, it was well taken care of and greater number of Stupas were built.
And yet, they close their eyes to the fact that puritan view of the nation state came into existence in the states ruled by Abrahmic religions, esp Islam. And even in the modern days, the Bamiyan statues were destroyed - needlessly - by campaigners of Islam.
No matter how much they try to deny that and say Taliban is a twisted form of Islam or not even Islamic, the fact remains that they call themselves Muslim, and claim to follow Quran. In fact, some times it appears that the Taliban follows Quran ever more strictly than any other Muslims we see in this world.
