He is still our hero because he is Muslim who fought against foreigners/anti-Muslim forces.
Isn't Chankya your hero? He is from present day Pakistan (and most of your heroes, Mahabharta, earliest Vedic stories etc as well
)
True.
I was surprised to see that Indians call Marathas as "empire"
An irrelevant polity---that did not even rule Indian capital---and was not sustained for even 50 years is an 'mighty empire' for Indians
But then again, Indians have nothing else to hold onto....so small, province level rule that merely lasted few years is celebrated as "empire" by weak people.
This is how an
actual super power empire looks like---The Islamic Mughal Empire in 1707 (the year after which it declined slowly)

This was India on the onset of British domination (which had begun at Battle of Plassey in 1757)

See the difference?
You username is
literally laughable and the height of coping mechanism to find something to be 'proud' of when there is nothing to be proud of in reality. Got dominated by superior global civilizations of Islam and then Europe....the
actual great empires you know?
