Mahmud Ghaznawi: Loved by Afghans and Pakistanis but hated by Indians

[Bang Galore]

Why did Ghaznawi specifically set his sights on india? What was his reason?

Loot......Temples were obvious targets. Helped that one could also claim religious reasons......

Does this not negated the whole concept (or most of it) of Nation states defined by geographical boundaries. Since at the base of it all, all of mankind evolved from the same species.

That is precisely why Pakistani Nationalism isn't centered around a single ethnicity or language nor is India's for that matter - For us its Islamic Polity for you its a fusion of your Dharmic Past & a superimposition of a historic & geographical India on to the present day State of India.

While I m a staunch BJP supporter, I sometime feel that Nehru, Wily Kashmiri Brahmin that we was, rightly allowed partition so that all these retrograde feudals could be contained in a separate ghetto.

Punjabi Muslims were very prosperous due to canal colonies created by British which brought agricultural boom in Punjab. The feudals of Punjab feared socialist policies of Congress and thus supported creation of Pakistan by joining Muslim League. Sindhi Muslims thought by supporting Pakistan they will get the same type of prosperity like the educated Sindhi Hindus but at the end they found that Sindhi Muslims remained the same while Muhajirs have taken that role.

Feudalism and Punjabi dominated army go hand in hand in your Punjab. Feudalism was banned in India 1953.

LOL!!! Your fellow is saying Punjabies are dumb and you are diverting towards feudalism

Punjabi Muslims are the dumb ones. .... Hindu / Sikh Punjabis are not nitwits..... They ruled over you.

LOL!!! So, that's what they teach you in saffron academy, any i don't want to show you what Hindus did with sikhs, internet is there to help you

mate, see what he has written.. its Punjabi muslims he is referring to.

Punjabi Muslims are not one ethnicity, at-least this much IQ i was expecting

episode of somnath was enough fall us in love with him

jahil log hai tum...

That's what is taught to Pakistanis I guess, have to see another country which claims itself Arabs but also claims the lineage of IVC...

What do Bharatis want? We want more wannabe Arabs in Pakistan..

The Ummah is strong with you.

If you want more wannabe than why you got butt hurt

I wonder if there was physical love between mahmud ghaznavi and his beautiful slave ayaz.

being gay allowed in Islam??? A hypocrite at best using religion to achieve his ends.

He spread Islam and set Hinduism in it's right place...

Actually India is a place for hinduism And Islam is for everyone not just muslims only.

Well that much I know, What I am trying to figure out why he had a problem with hindus in india?

same problem back then, same problem many have with India now....

Why did Ghaznawi specifically set his sights on india? What was his reason?

Extremely prosperous provinces, Smaller kingdoms, Easier terrain, honor in conflict - All of these made Indian kingdoms easy targets....

Execution of captured commanders and genocide were foreign concepts to the land.

Butt hurt? It is the curiosity which makes us wonder sometimes and ask questions as to why make heros of the dacoits.

However, what makes u think that we are butt hurt? What we see is a country searching for its identity, the feeling is more of a pity and curosity.. Lol

I appreciate you answering my question but What I can't figure is was he a hinduphobe or power hungry?

same problem back then, same problem many have with India now....

What problem is that?

I appreciate you answering my question but What I can't figure is was he a hinduphobe or power hungry?

Power hungry, I doubt as he did not have the ability to hold the attacked land, for him it was a big loot. Smart enough to identify weaker target absolutely yes, Hinduphobe can almost be a given thing... Attacking hindus was their interpretation of doing the gods work



Problem: now and back then has been the same, in the end certain section in pakistan and also on this forum will not be satisfied until hinduism, pluralism, any thing other than their specific version/brand of religion ceases to exist.

p.s people who think solving kashmir will solve all problems between india and pakistan are just naive..
