This is off-topic. My point was to prove that Indians and Pashtuns have continuously been at war. It has been proven.
Maharaja was not a title of muslim rulers, it seems volumes about your juvenile info on indo-pak history. Ranjeet singh was clever and able administrator, it is fact that he had muslim contingents in his army, read book " sikhs and afghans" by shamamt ali.
What do you think those under Maharaja were called? What were the princelets called at times. Here is a paragraph from Muslims under the Marathas:
He had Muslim contingents-obviously when 70% of the population of the region he ruled was Muslim. Mughals too had Hindus as did Suris. You can't name one top ranking general of the army. Only Lahore was ruled by Zaman Shah who was governor. There were no generals in their army who were Pashtun. Ataga Khan, Munim Khan and many others were generals in Mughal armies however. Don't murder history. Governors of Bengal were almost always Pashtuns.
Furthermore Ghaznavids and Ghorids did nothing but fight Indians. Everyone knows this to be a fact. So did Durrani, Rohillas, Barakzais
Often Muslim Princelings and vassals adopted the name Maharaja when they were under the suzerainty of Hindu or Sikh Kings. It was the same in the case of the Marathas
There are a number of cases. Governor of some cities during Marathas were called Maharajas too to please the Hindu rulers. I am pretty sure I read Maharajas. You are lucky half my history books are not in Karachi right now. Either case... proven wrong yet again. Luffy this is like bashing your skull across a wall. I will not let you get away with this Afghanistan support and linking of Pakistani Pashtuns with them.
Please dont muder history, Mughals never trusted Afghans , they were their mortal enemies. Mughals snatched india from lodhi Afghans, for which afghans always detested mughals. Even after fall of ibrahim lodhi, Babur and hamayun had to fight several wars with remaining strength of lodhis. Afghan power revived again under sher shah suri. After sher shah suri episode it became official policy of mughals to keep afghans away from Moghal nobility and army. Akbar had to fight several Afghan rebellions in Bihar, bengal, malwa and south india. In the north west Yousafzais destroyed three armies of mughals and killed famous akbar's general birbal , later afridis under darya khan anihilated mughal armies. Mughal nobility consisted of turanis, iranis and rajputs......afghans were totally excluded from nobilty because mughlas didnt trust them (read cambrdige history of India)...There was only one afghan noble in jahangir court, khan jahan lodhi, grandson of traitor daulat khan lodhi who invited babur and took his side against his king ibrahaim lodhi. This khan jahan lodhi was brutally murdered by Shah jahan along with his entire family members.....As afghans had dwindled in india, so shah jahan elevated few afghans to nobility and recruited some in army though the structure remained same, turanis, persians and rajputs were in majority....Aurnagzaib had to face a very strong rebellion in Pashtun areas....he had to come to attock by himself with forces to subdue yousafzai....From babur to aurangzaib Indian afghans were continuously trying to overthrow mughals....
Stop copying me for godsake. I have been telling you not to murder history. You are not a parrot. Develop some ingenuity.
Don't teach someone who knows history about his own adopted races history. You can fool any other Pashtun on this site but not me. This is about Pashtun-Mughal marriages I posted before:
1) Akbar: Salima Sultan was Pashtun and the widow of Bairam Khan who was one of Akbar's main generals. Akbar married her upon the death of Bairam. There are a number of sources but historian Feroz saab confirms Salima was indeed Pashtun.
2) Babur: Bibi Mubarika was a yousufzai Pashtun who was one of Babur's many wives.
3) Nur Jahan was born in Kandahar too... but it is unclear if she was Pashtun or Persian. It is often speculated that she is.
4) Jehangir: Qasim Khan's daughter was married to Jehangir. Qasim Khan was from Sabzwar in what is now Afghanistan.

Almost every soldier in the Mughal army was Pashtun. I already mentioned the generals.
You are a very big idiot, "khan" title is not exclusive to Pashtuns, we have borrowed it from central asian turls. Mughlas and uzbeks had title of khan, bairam khan and wazir khan were chaughtai turls aka mughals. And that hemo was hindu general of suri armies. Like akbar , sher shah suri promoted hindu-muslim relationships.
Bairam was born in Badakhshan, I know that. I will research further on this point. He was listed among Pashtun generals of Mughal army I researched. Also Pashtuns spread everywhere, what proof do you have that a person living in Chiniot cannot be a Pashtun? Wazir Khan I am sure is a Pashtun. Furthermore Pashtuns at that time were deeply Persianized due to rulership of Safavids and Ashrafids. Afghanistan as it is now was constantly fought over by Persians and Afghans with many times when Persians ruled Afghanistan for periods. This shows in the language being Farsi historically than Pashto. That doesn't mean these guys were Persians. 95% of all Khans are Pashtuns, we all know this.
You said the same thing about Imran Khan and every other Pashtun personality. Stop it. Who captured Hemu? Also another thing. Even today in Afghanistan where they speak dari and many farsi not even knowing a word of Pashto. If you discount even Persianized Pashtun for self-satisfaction you kill our history.
Do note Nadir Shah is often counted as a Pashtun despite being named a Persian. This is no easy escape by claiming so and so is non-Pashtun so Pashtuns never fought Indians. This is our history-be proud that Pashtuns ruled India for so long. Otherwise you are a Tajik? Are you Tajik? Is that why you are killing our history?
Exactly. Now it does seem to me you are indeed yourself trying to defame Pashtuns but when someone else says something about Pashtuns you take offense to start ethnic war. I am understanding your horrid personality.
Mughals had nothing to do with modern pakistan.
Then what is the problem? Pashtuns made the armies of the Mughals so Mughals empire was made by the fighting spirit of Pashtuns and so were the empires ruled by ethnic Pashtuns. There is no difference and I see them as equal history-both are my history.
Your attitude towards them shows your attitude towards Pakistan. You think highly of Afghanistan just because it has a few Pashtuns who ruled it. Pakistan will soon be ruled by Pashtun too then your partogha will disappear and your claims will be proven hollow.
Though ghori and ghaznavi armies were mostly Pashtuns/afghans but they themselves were Afghanized turks, though they are considered part of Pashtun history. They invaded india either to loot it or establish rule there in case of ghori.
So, proves the point. They aren't turks. Don't lie. They are turkized but not turks. You can't do this to every one of our Pashtun empires.
This is no escape. You are murdering Pashtun history by saying so and so is non-Pashtun. This is your mentality. All you want to do is prove you are right at any cost no matter what stupidity your promote. Even today how many nawabs are Pashtuns in India. Bahadur Yar Jung, Pataudis, Mohammed Khan Zaman Khan. These look like Tajiks or Punjabis to you obviously?
The whole Burki tribe claim to be descendants of ansar of medina , but it is false claim, They are very old indo-iranian community, has nothing to do with arabs. pir roshan and all other burkis have nothing to do with cloth weaving caste, julaha of india who call themselves ansari, those are converts from hinduism.
The only one making false claims are you. I could call you a trash picking Afghan but I will desist since you called my family an insulting name. I could also say that you may not be your fathers son and may be a born Tajik or Hazara adopted by him but I will desist since you took offense last time.
Balchs also claim to be arabs, it is false claim, they are actually indo-iranain....pashtuns claim to be semetic, jews, but they are actually indo-iranians....
Okay bhai, Balochs, burkis, pir roshan, ansaris came from your womb so you know their history. I mean this is hilarious. you are promoting one sided history and anyone who does not agree or does not fit your narrative is labelled non-pashtun. This is amazing.
Understand this simple concept first that ethnicity is fluid. It does not matter. The person's birthplace does and his wish to adopt a culture does. It doesn't even matter if I want to maintain links with Ansars despite adopting Pashtun culture. My future generations will be Pashtuns. Stop this childishness.
Also by the logic you made Ghaznavid and Ghorid's turks by the same logic you declare @
ghilzai turk... amazing. Anyone who goes against your theories or disagrees is a non Pashtun.
So says the Indic Muslim.
