Wrong on so many accounts. First of all, India was not a backwards society prior to the Mughals. It was onw of the most advanced and prosperous civilizations in the world. The Golden age of India occurred during the Gupta empire, which was when most of the achievements in math, astronomy, philosophy, literature, and architecture were made.
The Marathas were not completely destroyed by the Durranis. The Durranis simply prevented the marathas from expanding past the Indus. So you should be thankful to the Afghans that you were not ruled by india Hindus like you were for over 500 years under the Mauryans and Guptas.
The British had to defeat the Marathas to take over the subcontinent in the Anglo Maratha wars. In fact, the Marathas even defeated the British. With the exception of Mysore, no Muslim Empire did that. And BTW, Mysore was a South Indian born in Karnataka, india.
Here is a picture of the British surrendering to Mahadji Shinde
And as I have explained before, the entirety of the subcontinent was NEVER ruled by Musimes, and the only two who came close were the Tughlaqs and Aurangzeb(who was also born in India). however their empires lasted barely a century, shorter than Mauryan and gupta rule over Pakistan. As for conversion, well even if your ancesstors fought with the invaders, which is fine, they were at one pint a Buddhist or Sikh who were forcefully converted. Fortunately, mine were not. And the reason for that is India was not ruled by Muslims as long as Pakistan, and the only part to be significantly influenced by Muslim rule is North India, espercially UP. That area was ruled for approximately 500 years before it was liberated by the Marathas. Meanwhile South india with the exception of Mysore and Hyderabad were almost NEVER ruled by Muslims, so south India has less Muslims. The State least ruled by Muslims was Tamil Madu, and that has barely any Muslims in it. Same with Odisha and chhattishgarh. The only exception is Kerala, which has a significant Muslim population because of significant trade with the Arab world, so must Kerala Muslims are descended from Arab traders. '
Wow, looks like another troll thread has devolved into a one-sided debate.
Yes some victory that resulted in both Tipu and Hyder paying tribute to the Marathas. And despite defeating both Tipu Sultan and Hyder Ali, the Marathas also had time to defeat the Purtugueese and British. Pretty impressive. no Muslim Empire has done that
Those numbers are hard to measure beause they included the entirety of the subcontinent, and are not accounting for inflation. Not to mention the ordinary people of the subcontinent were poor because the Mughals dkept wasting money on monuments. It is a well known fact that Indian society was at its most prosperous state during the Mauryans and Guptas, where the maharajas cared about the people. In fact even the British built railways and roads, so they did more for Indians than the Mughals ever did.
If you have any more questions, just look at the state of India and modern Pakistan. India is far from perfect but it has the fastest growing economy in the world with GPP comparable with UK and France, which were once the world's superpowers. India has also uplifted more people out of poverty than any country with the exception of CHina. Just look at HDI India ranks 130, Pakistan 150, lower than many African countries.
India 3, Mughals/Paksitan 0
The only reason you are related to them is because the r***ed you. Nothing to be ashanmed about, just a fact. Th same applies to Hindu Rajputs descended from Central Asians, although most Rajputs are not descended from them. don't know where you got that from.
