Concerning the saying of Donald F. Lach, the historical facts suggest that, before invasion by Alexender, Ghazanvis/Pathans and mughals, the Rajputs were the strongest and bravest nation at sub-continent.
Yet, Alexender (A Greek) defeated them,
In ur dreams......Raja Porus defeated Alexander...... who almost died in the battlefield!
See wat Ferdousi says and the local historians say!
Tht was one of the reasons he never entered india! and went back while Porus also came to rule the kingdoms who were allied with alexander!!
Mahmood Ghazanvi (an Afghani) defeated them
He was persian! : and he fough a small kindgom!
In the early 11th century, Mahmud of Ghazni conquered the Hindu-Shahi kingdom in the Punjab, and his raids into northern India weakened the Gurjar Pratihara kingdom, which was
drastically reduced in size and came under the control of the Chandelas. Mahmud sacked some temples across northern India to stop idol worship, including the temple at Somnath in Gujarat, but his permanent conquests were limited to the Punjab. The early 11th century also saw the reign of the polymath king Raja Bhoj, the Paramara ruler of Malwa.
Ghauri (an Afghani) defeated them,
Who did Ghauri beg for his life?when he first fought Prithvi Raj?
Battles of Tarain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Who lied and cheated in the second war and told them tht he had accepted the ceasefire and was going back while attacked in night when Rajputs were celebrating?
Battles of Tarain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Who killed Ghauri? a Chained Prithvi Raj whose eyes were taken out?
It was Prithvi who killed ghouri with his bow and arrow when they asked the King to show his art of archery after blinding him??
and Babar (a Mughal) defeated them.
Babur was also joined by some rajput kings while Ibrahim lodhi a afghan was fighting under Rana Sanga! ..... Rajputs fought bravely till the death..... they were defeated coz of superior technology anf forces.And so were the afghan soldiers who comprised of his cavalry flank.
................
Pratab singh massacred 100000 mughal soldiers!
..........
The color of afghans were captured and were used to make the flag of Rajputana.
Dulla Bhatti gave akbar a bloody nose for 20 years!
Killed 120,000 mughal soldiers and 1 commander and spared the life of another who begged his mother for mercy
Dont forget how mughals massacred afghans!
Do read Babarnama about his encounters with afghans!And why Khushal Khan Khattak was put n jail for 8 years and why he fought the mughals!
History doesnt lie.
All the conqurers (execpt Alexender) also got control over them for longer runs.
If ur talking about Raja Porus......
then Irans national poet Ferdousi says tht he won the battle thts why alexander left and the kingdoms near him afterward were under the control of raja porus!...
also it was the only battle where alexander almost died! even he defeated afghans.
History speaks greater than Donal F. Lach.
No offense, just the facts.
Regards,
Before u state facts search them too..... ur history is pretty bad and artificial .... use internet to see the truth!
Also note Rajput kingdoms were never united infact they fought eachother which kinda was a -tive point for them.
Also forget Donal F Lach .... wat abt the Afghan chief Habibullah?
I could post quotes from lots of people.
