their viewpoint, intentions or behaviour may change to whatever, it hardly matters as they haven't the muscle nor the balls to be sincere and back it up without larger powers propping up their economy and defence budget thru aid. the crucial part is the viewpoint on this side. as evidenced in...

i think you are confused. dar al Islam is where laws are according to sharia. perhaps you mean dar al aman, but then go tell that to muslims of kashmir and gujarat, heck even muzaffarnagr and bihar or assam. no one in their right mind believes in fatwas by darul uloom deoband that india is this...
who knows genetics here. rajputs and gujjars aren't related to hepthalites. they became the abdali clan confederation, thats established fact. it should at least have a passing mention in some ancient account since writing and recording of events was quite sophisticated in that period by brahmin...
i don't think you guys are foreigners :coffee: marxist and colonial era historians had a fetish for ascribing any proud people with historic empires to their name as having been invaders to subcontinent descended either from scythians, mongoloid huns or mythical aryans.
they dont look like pathans to me. their features wouldn't look out of place in common village of central-northern punjab. skin colour is mostly a function of climate and terrain in punjab (pahari v. seraikis for e.g.) apart from the black and white photo kid on left looks a bit mongoloid. but i...
hmm i dont believe rajputs or gujjars were such late entrants to subcontinent. their local and traditional folklore doesnt mention anything of migration in ancient times, in fact i believe hindu rajputs still claim descent of certain dynasties or clans in the vedas. also this would mean they...
i thought he was arain though?
anyway you stay happy with pehlwans, we'll stay happy being the emperors of punjabi kingdoms/empires of the past and de facto rulers of present :P
edit: i stand corrected. other members here saying he was butt
theres been so many threads about sharia, i realized its pointless to have such discussion on a forum like this. there's more appropriate places to gain knowledge of it.
ah another hindutwadi. the hundreds of ethnic groups of india lumped together by british are very natural then? what you all have in common .. oh i forget common love for squatting out in the open and stinky slum life. you've come on the wrong forum we have plenty of hindutwadi(read...
why no one focusing on the inscription? i'd be interested to find out after they analyze what it is, and probably holds the most important clue. though i think gurmuki and hindi can be ruled out as they were developed only 4-5 centuries ago, and i think this artefact belongs to an earlier period...
the technicalities @AUSTERLITZ can perhaps explain better. but from my understanding mongols had a very secular and efficient administrative structure so conquered territories were allowed their cultural freedoms to an extent with relatively less revolts which would otherwise slow down their...
that would be a miniscule portion of balochistan, and even then if you just stuck to the highways i can see why you have that impression. it would take a lifetime to fully explore and find all the gems that balochistan holds. it and our northern areas are the best in terms of scenery in the...
the original mongols didn't spare anyone in middle east. thanks to the sultanate of delhi their attempts to invade subcontinent were repelled, but barlas mongols (taimur and somewhat babur) later succeeded in the form of persianized mughals. but the animist pagan mongols were in a different...
you're half right. east of indus in south punjab/sindh is primarily thar desert. balochistan actually has too varied a landscape to call it 'a big desert'. i suggest you google the topography and landscape of that region. in fact even the greenest province (punjab) has vast deserts in thal and...
why are people spouting all kinds of rubbish on this thread against tribals. does it say anywhere they were even remotely receptive to this? no, then stfu. as if this is something new anyway. old story, more than 67 years old in fact. afghans always had this one sided love affair only to be...
