Yes ur Lion was nothing but a butcher of innocent civilians and ofcourse he is hero to u since he killed Hindus:

Mahmud, according to several contemporary accounts, considered himself a Ghazi who waged jihad on the Hindus. His plunder of Hindu temples and centers of learning is noted later in the article. Al-Biruni writes:

"In the interest of his successors he constructed, in order to weaken the Indian frontier, those roads on which afterwards his son Mahmud marched into India during a period of thirty years and more. God be merciful to both father and son! Mahmud utterly ruined the prosperity of the country, and performed there wonderful exploits, by which the Hindus became like atoms of dust scattered in all directions, and like a tale of old in the mouth of the people. Their scattered remains cherish, of course, the most inveterate aversion towards all Muslims. This is the reason, too, why Hindu sciences have retired far away from those parts of the country conquered by us, and have fled to places which our hand cannot yet reach, to Kashmir, Benares, and other places. And there the antagonism between them and all foreigners receives more and more nourishment both from political and religious sources."

Various historical sources such as Martin Ewans, E.J. Brill and Farishta have recorded the introduction of Islam to Kabul and other parts of Afghanistan to the invasions of Mahmud of Ghazna

“ The Arabs advanced through Sistan and conquered Sindh early in the eighth century . Elsewhere however their incursions were no more than temporary , and it was not until the rise of the Saffarid dynasty in the ninth century that the frontiers of Islam effectively reached Ghazni and Kabul . Even then a Hindu dynasty the Hindushahis , held Gandhara and eastern borders .From the tenth century onwards as Persian language and culture continued to spread into Afghanistan , the focus of power shifted to Ghazni , where a Turkish dynasty , who started by ruling the town for the Samanid dynasty of Bokhara , proceeded to create an empire in their own right. The greatest of the Ghaznavids was Muhmad who ruled between 998 and 1030. He expelled the Hindus from Gandhara (Afghanistan) , made no fewer than 17 raids into India , ”
“ He encouraged mass conversions to Islam , in India as well as in Afghanistan "

Attack on 'Kafiristan' :

“ Another crusade against idolatry was at length resolved on; and Mahmud led the seventh one against Nardain, the then boundary of India, or the eastern part of the Hindu Kush; separating as Firishta says, the countries of Hindustan and Turkistan and remarkable for its excellent fruit. The country into which the army of Ghazni marched appears to have been the same as that now called Kafirstan, where the inhabitants were and still are, idolaters and are named the Siah-Posh, or black-vested by the Muslims of later times. In Nardain there was a temple, which the army of Ghazni destroyed; and brought from thence a stone covered with certain inscriptions, which were according to the Hindus, of great antiquity ”

Massacres of Ismailis : In 965 CE, Multan was conquered by Halam b. Shayban, an Ismaili da’i. Soon after, Multan was attacked by the Ghaznavids, destabilizing the Ismaili state. Mahmud of Ghazna invaded Multan in 1005 CE, conducting a series of campaigns during which the Ismailis of Multan were massacred.

Destruction of Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple
Mahmud of Ghazni destroyed important Hindu shrine- Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple (known as Kesava Deo Temple) in 1017 AD along with several other Hindu and Buddhist temples in the holy city of Mathura.

Destruction of Somnath Temple

Mahmud of Ghazni destroyed and looted one of the most sacred temple of Hindus- Somnath Temple in 1025 AD killing over 50,000 people who tried to defend it. The defenders included the 90-year-old clan leader Ghogha Rana. Ghazni personally broke the gilded lingam to pieces. He took them back to his homeland and placed them in the steps leading to the newly built Jamiah Masjid, so that they would be stepped upon by those going to the mosque to pray.

The following extract is from “Wonders of Things Created, and marvels of Things Existing” by Zakariya al-Qazwini, a 13th century Arab geographer. It contains the description of Somnath temple and its destruction:

“Somnath: celebrated city of India, situated on the shore of the sea, and washed by its waves. Among the wonders of that place was the temple in which was placed the idol called Somnath. This idol was in the middle of the temple without anything to support it from below, or to suspend it from above. It was held in the highest honor among the Hindus, and whoever beheld it floating in the air was struck with amazement, whether he was a Musulman or an infidel. The Hindus used to go on pilgrimage to it whenever there was an eclipse of the moon, and would then assemble there to the number of more than a hundred thousand."
“When the Sultan Yaminu-d Daula Mahmud Bin Subuktigin (Mahmud of Ghazni) went to wage religious war against India, he made great efforts to capture and destroy Somnath, in the hope that the Hindus would then become Muhammadans. As a result thousands of Hindus were forcibly converted to Islam. He arrived there in the middle of Zi-l k’ada, 416 A.H. (December, 1025 A.D.). “The king looked upon the idol with wonder, and gave orders for the seizing of the spoil, and the appropriation of the treasures. There were many idols of gold and silver and vessels set with jewels, all of which had been sent there by the greatest personages in India. The value of the things found in the temples of the idols exceeded twenty thousand dinars."

Is this the reason why you want to celebrate. He was nothing but a cruel savage who used name of a religion to gain his personal desire. Who knows how many our ansestors were converted due to his cruality...

Today is the death Anniversary of the Lion of Islam Mahmood Ghaznavi May ALLAH bless his soul eternal happiness and peace for ever

According to the famous Pakistani writer Janab Hasan Nisar saheb:

"Agar tum tareekh ko musk karoge, to tareekh tumhe musk karege" He says that pakistan have celebrated imported Heros who were not heros in reality.

In pakistan people takes Muslim Badshahs or Invaders history as Islamic history or Islamic History.

But that's not true at all.

Mahmood Ghaznavi was a Afghan invader and killer who have killed thousands of pakistani how one can celebrate that or his actions???

 

[AUSTERLITZ]

These invaders never really cared about anyone but themselves but added the name jihad to their personal glory whoring to use as a rallying point.In fact on his way to india babur bragged in his baburnama how he made piles of skulls of pashtuns.

A mass murderer who has not tolerated for other cultures and is one of the reason for mass conversions of subcontinent people to islam particularly in sindh and paunjab(pakistan area). The real heroes are those who resisted him and refused to convert and embraced death.

I wonder why Pakistanis are so proud of these conquerors and mass murderers. They are commemorating Ghaznis, Ghaznavis, Babar only because they see them from their Islamic lens. They dont even realize the fact that these were the marauders of Afghan/ Turkish descent and the fact that most of the territories they plundered are their own (modern day Pakistan) i.e. the
North West Frontier Province, the Punjab and Sind. The men and women they tortured, enslaved, ravished and put to the sword were their own forebears.

Out of this false sense of pride, they name their missiles like Babur, Ghauri, Ghazni etc thinking that they were the rulers who attacked and plundered ancient India. Indian missiles are named only after elements of nature like Fire,Earth etc. Pakistanis are so much blinded by religion that they call Indians, Hindu Baniya.. In reality, Baniya is a trader caste of Hindus which represent only a minor percentage of Indians. We have second largest population of Muslims in our Country. The Christians population in a single state of India is more than entire Pakistan.

Look at the names of our Naval ships viz. Vikrant, Viraat, Teg, Tabar, Ranvijay etc. These are not religious names. Even though India is a Hindu majority state, we dont impose Hindu culture,mythology among non-hindus. When I get up in the morning and go to my terrace, I can hear the voices of Azan, Temple bells, Gurudwara Shabad simultaneously. You cant imagine such things in Pakistan.

When Pakistanis talk about Hindu zehaniyat, Baniyas etc, it only shows how the people of Pakistan have been brainwashed into hating India for perpetuity.

Mahmood Ghaznavi and his looting/plunderings had nothing to do with Islam. He sugar-coated his barbarism with Jihad and all.

Who in his right mind destroys temples/religious places, kills their guardians and initiates forced conversions and then has the audacity to call it a 'jihaad'? The Prophet (P.B.U.H) clearly condemned disrespecting other religions and forced conversions!

 

[Kambojaric]

^ Agreed. The people of the Pakistan region bore the brunt of his "jihad". Also most of modern day Pakistanis were converted peacefully by Sufi saints. Not by a horde of steppe horsemen.
