Mahmud of Ghazni vs Rajendra Chola

[Shark2]

Lol least developed, our infrastructure is much more developed than you guys, there are tons of articles by Indians regarding comparison of infrastructure between India and Pakistan, here is a paragraph by Madhulika Sikka, NPR News: (May, 2010)

"Yes. Yes, you read right. The roads. I used to live in Mumbai and now I live in Delhi and, yes, I think good roads are a great, mammoth, gargantuan luxury! Face it, when did you last see a good road in India? Like a really smooth road. Drivable, wide, nicely built and long, yawning, stretching so far that you want zip on till eternity and loosen the gears and let the car fly. A road without squeeze or bump or gaping holes that pop up like blood-dripping kitchen knives in Ramsay Brothers films. When did you last see such roads? Pakistan is full of such roads. Driving on the motorway between Islamabad and Lahore, I thought of the Indian politician who ruled a notorious —, one could almost say viciously — potholed state and spoke of turning the roads so smooth that they would resemble the cheeks of Hema Malini. They remained as dented as the face of Frankenstein's monster. And here, in Pakistan, I was travelling on roads that — well, how can one now avoid this? — were as smooth as Hema Malini's cheeks! Pakistani roads are broad and smooth and almost entirely, magically, pot hole free. How do they do it; this country that is ostensibly so far behind in economic growth compared to India? But they do and one of my most delightful experiences in Pakistan has been travelling on its fabulous roads. No wonder the country is littered with SUVs — Pakistan has the roads for such cars!"

Another one by Yoginder Sikand, Countercurrents.org : (June, 2008)

"This may be hard to believe, but the first thing that crosses your mind when you drive into Islamabad is suburban Virginia — its wide roads, modern buildings, cleanliness and orderliness is a complete contrast to the hustle and bustle of the ancient city of Lahore, some 220 miles east on the Grand Trunk Road. slamabad is laid out in a grid with numbered avenues running north to south. The streets are tree lined and flowers abound among the vast open stretches of green space."

India has a higher literacy rate, higher GDP per Capita and a higher HDI than Pakistan.
So its pretty obvious that India is more developed than Pakistan.
Only 2 Indian states like Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu have a higher GDP than whole
Pakistan despite of the fact that Pakistan has a larger population than both states.
Even bangladesh is doing better than Pakistan.

Stupid comparison, Mahmood Ghazni's empire was much bigger, and spreader more during his times. He fought more battles and won most out of it.

So i don't know why chola was even considered against Mahmood Ghazni. Obviously Inferiority complex. nothing more.

 

[Samandri]

Pashtuns were not martial. They were the slaves of the Arabs and Turks.
Thats why they still use the Arab alphabet

I never heard of this Raja Chola before, obviously this @Shark2 guy is advertising king of his local history by comparing him with Mahmud Ghaznavi , one of the greatest conqueror of the world in the list. Mahmud's started from a small principality and after his conquests , his empire included present day Iran, Afghanistan, portion of central asia and portion of India.....the size of chola empire at its peak was even smaller than Afghanistan, and they were comfortably living and surviving due to absence of strong regional rivals and they were covered on three sides by sea.

 

[Shark2]

Again wrong.
This is the Chola Dynasty at its peak
And the Chola Dynasty faced the most powerful Dynasty of early 12th century South Asia called
the Western Chalukya Empire.

 

[Samandri]

You are only an inferior Pashtun. Pashtuns are part of the subhuman race.
This is one of the main reasons why Afghanistan is the least developed country in
South Asia.

Pashtuns walked around in Deccan like bosses and lords , how many of your indigenous Deccanis even stepped a foot in Pakhtunkhwa?. The Afghan Khiljis ruled over your Deccan, our brothers Tughlaq turks ruled over your Deccan. Mailk Makh Afghan founded Bahmani sultanate of Deccan and appointed Zafar Khan as his successor, who is said to be either Turk or Afghan. So the credit of founding Deccan sultanates goes to a Pashtun noble of Tughlaq empire. All of the muslim Deccan sultanates had Afghan and habshi soldiers , and they subjugated your people. Your Shivaji stabbed an Afghan , Afzal Khan with treachery. Aurangzeb's famous general who hunted down Marathas like pigs in Deccan , Diler Khan, was a Daudzai Afghan. Daud Khan panni was governor of Arcot and deccan. Miana Afghans established Savaynur state in Deccan, Panni Afghans established rule on Karrnool.

The point is, we Afghans/Pashtuns, stepped over your Deccan through out history and subjugated your people............thats why you are reacting this way

The Khiljis were Turks who were defeated by the Vijayanagar Empire and who were driven out of
south India. All the northern Deccan Sultans were called Turks and thats why the Vijayanagar Emperor
Krishna Devaraya received the title destroyer of the Turks after defeating all the Sultans of northern
Deccan. At that time Afghanistan was ruled by Mongols and Turks.

Poor attempt of erecting your dic.k, Your Deccan got ruled by Muslims for 5 centuries, where was your chola mola?. In 18th century big portion of it was ruled by Nizams of hyderabad and down south, Hyder Ali and Tipu ruled over your "chola: channa empire. And your Marthas , 3 lakhs, of them were crushed by Abdali. I was bemused to read Indian claims that Afghans carried thousands of Maratha women to Afghanistan as slaves after panipat. Why we would pollute Afghanistan with napak and ugly marathas slaves?

The Deccanis were fighting the Turkic invaders during the Vijayanagar Empire from the 14th to 16th century.
At that time Afghans had become the slaves of the Mongols and Turks.
From the 17th to 18th century the Deccanis under the Maratha Empire defeated and destroyed the
Mughal Dynasty. At that time the Afghans were the slaves of the Mughals and Persians.
You guys were never able to fight on your own without the help of your beloved Turkic and Mongol masters.
And this is the main reason why Afghanistan is the least developed country in South Asia.
And this is why you still use the Arab script of your beloved Arab masters.

 

[Kabira]

I am not a Tamil.
My ancestors are from the Deccan which has a greater military history than the pathetic countries
called Afghanistan and Pakistan.
I am very proud that the Satavahana Dynasty of the Deccan defeated the Scythian invaders and protected
major parts of India. The same Scythians easily conquered and enslaved the ancestors of Pakistan and
Afghanistan.
The Chalukya Dynasty from the Deccan defeated the Arab invaders in the 8th century and protected
the whole southern part of India at a time when whole Afghanistan and Pakistan was under Arab rule.
The Arabs enslaved your ancestors and forced them to follow the Arab religion and to use the Arab script.
From the 10th to 12th century the Deccan was ruled by the famous Western Chalukya Empire which
was together with the Chola Dynasty the most powerful forces in South Asia.
At that time Afghanistan and Pakistan were ruled by the Turks who ensalved your ancestors
and who forced you guys to use Turkic words.
The Vijayanagar Empire from the Deccan defeated the Turkic invaders of the Delhi Sultanate and drove
the Turks out of south India from the 14th to 16th century.
During this period the people of Afghanistan were raped by the Mongols and the Pakis were
enslaved by Mongols and Turks.
In the 17th century the famous Maratha Empire emerged and destroyed the Mughals.
During this period Aghanistan and Pakistan were under the rule of Persian and Mughals.
Throughout the pathetic history of Pakistan and Afghanistan these people were never
able to repel foreign invasions. The people of Afghanistan and Pakistan were only
good at licking the asses of foreign invaders.

abhe midget Chalukya Dynasty rulers claim foreign origins This is pathetic and shamefull, all these empires Indians claim turn out to be from foreigners. But but they were mundanized, lol

You instead love your barbaric aryan invaders.

A very funny joke.
The Chalukya rulers claimed to be descendants of the Kadamba Dynasty which was a kannada Dynasty.
The Chalukya rulers were called by their enemies might of Karnataka because they protected Karnataka
and major parts of Deccan and because they patronised Kannada literature.
During the early Chalukya rule Afghanistan and Pakistan were ruled by foreign Persians and Arabs.

Kadamba rulers were brahmins so aryans decendents in south India Now days southis hate aryans but at the same time love to claim aryan kingdoms

 

[Shark2]

I am so happy that the Chalukya Dynasty of the Deccan defeated the Arab invaders and protected
whole Deccan and south India. The Chalukya Emperor sent his general Pulakesi who destroyed the
Arab invaders in Navasri. For this incredible victory Pulakesi received from the Chalukya Emperor
the title "Protector of the South".

Kadamba rulers were brahmins so aryans decendents in south India Now days southis hate brahmans/aryans but at the same time love to claim aryan kingdoms

Again wrong
The Kadamba rulers were descendants of a tribe called Kadambus who were mentioned in the ancient
Tamil Sangam literature as rulers of Karnataka. And the Chalukya rulers were feudatories of the
Kadamba Dynasty. The Kadamba rulers were the first rulers who patronised the Kannada literature.

Rajput of Rajasthan defeated 3rd Caliphate Army.

Battle of Rajasthan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

They were utterly defeated and never sat foot in India

But shudra pakistani who were enslaved by them venerate them till today.

I can't find anything on Kadambus, please don't make up history. They can belong to any tribe but they were brahmins aka aryan decendents in south India. Pathetic to claim foreign barbaric aryan kingdoms who enslaved your kin, don't you think?

The Wikipedia article is not bad as it mentions the origin of the Kadamba Dynasty.
Why would Brahmins patronise the Kannada language. Brahmins only patronised Sanskrit.
During the period of the Kadamba Dynasty Afghanistan and Pakistan were ruled by the
foreign Scythian invaders.
