Cant imagine them going too far with those elephants.
That one battle was decisive but the Arabs constantly tried to make their way into India for a long period of time but falied.
One more thing the Rajputs didn't fight after the sunset and when the forces of Ghori attacked them before dawn the Rajput forces were taken by surprise.
Still i would rate Ghaznavi better militarily than Ghori, latter never lost a single battle neither in India nor in Central Asia though the...
When Ghaznavi invaded India there was no strong empire to confront him and he had a cakewalk, when Ghori invaded by that time PR Chauhan had established a considerably strong kingdom .BTW in the Second Battle of Tarain Prithvi Raj did not have the services of his best general who played a key...
I was watching the Debate on Times Now and one of the panelist an ex-Army officer mentioned that Nehru has ordered reduction of troop levels in 1959 from 4.5 lakhs to 3.5 lakhs :frown:
In order to cede any territory of India to a foreign country approval of both houses of the parliament with 2/3rd majority is required. The move by the then Govt to give Katchatheevu was not ratified by the Parliament and hence the cession of Katchatheevu is incomplete.
Off late India has also started sending crappy contestants for Miss World/Universe hence you see drought of crowns since over a decade.
BTW i'll post some pics on popular demand :D

Sikh empire extended upto the Khyber pass. It was not the Sikhs rather Afghans who attacked to capture Peshawar but they were unsuccessful, even after killing the best general of the Sikhs the Afghans could not dislodge them from their positions.
Sikhs marched upto Jamrud which is at the western border of Pakistan, as i said whatever part of Afghanistan is today with Pakistan is due to Sikhs, they gave you pathetic cowards something to boast in front of pashtuns :lol:
I'll call any ruler of an Indian province who colluded with foreigners against another Indian kingdom as a traitor. Moreover it was more about forming an army of Islam against infidel Marathas which led to alliance between these three muslim kingdoms . Marathas didn't help their case either...
Punjabi musalmaans have been beaten to pulp by every tom, dick and harry through the centuries arriving from the west and here we have this moron telling fake bravado stories of his types to make himself feel better. :lol:
There were only handful of useless punjabi musalmaan in Ranjeet Singh's...
These kingdoms which helped Afghans were Hindustani/Indian , they were very much Indian , the reason we call them Indians is because they were Indianized in their culture and lived east of Indus in the land called India even before the British arrived. How India became a nation state and what...
Not without the help of Indian Rohillas and Oudh kingdom, as has been the case many times in Indian history when an Indian empire was defeated by foreigners with the help of traitor Indians.
BTW Ranjeet Singh payed back the Afghans in style, you should thank him that half of Afghanistan is...
Nepal ceded some of its territory to the British by the Treaty of Sagauli , though the British could not manage a decisive victory.
Dharmic religions = All Indic religions = Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and Hinduism
They burned the entire place for extortion ? I'm not ready to buy that argument, clearly the hand of some islamist group not happy with the un-Islamic centre imparting yoga training
