Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Are your bell towers chiming now?

Its pointless to argue over history.

It may not have lasted long but it was much more advanced than even what Pakistan has now:

Self-praise is a dangerous thing. No need for such threads.

King Aurangzeb...ring any bells?

What about him? He bankrupted the Mughal empire by fighting a war against the Marathas for 27 years. With out the Marathas losing any major battle against the Mughals. He was the reason why Mughal empire fell. He tried to put sharia law in India which failed miserably and put back jizya tax(which was taken out because of Akbar). And factions like the Sikhs, Rajputs(Who were allied with Mughals),Pashtuns and the big one Marathas fought back because of his intolerance.He started the disintegration of the empire.

Early Mughals came from modern day area of Uzbekistan. Babur was from an empire which was a fragmentation of the larger Mongol empire. Mughals literally mean "Mongols" in Persian. After Akbar the great made an alliance with the Hindu Rajputs they mixed with the Rajputs..Almost every emperor after Akbar was half Rajput.

And yes that means even India's Hitler "Aurangzeb" had Hindustani blood..

So if your implaying that that they came from the area of Pakistan. No.

as a matter of fact, in no time of history any ruler from today's pakistan land ruled any part of India.
with the exception of Ranjit Singh.

i wouldnt say hindus are "cowards" but most hindus i know avoid/dislike fighting except the ones who have a history of bloodshed such as rajputs and gorkhas. rajputs are proud @$$holes while gorkhas although far more deadly, show more humility

Watch your words Hitler ji.

Maj. Gen. Fazal Muqeem Khan, author of book "Pakistan's Crisis of Leadership"

Subject: Portrait of Bravery

He wrote about the bravery of the Sikh soldiers during the Indo-Pak war. Here are some excerpts:

“The major reason for our defeat are Sikhs. We are simply unable to do anything before them despite our best efforts. They are very daring people and are fond of martyrdom. They fight courageously and are capable of defeating an army much bigger than them.”

On 3rd December 1971 we fiercely and vigorously attacked the Indian army with infantry brigade near Hussainiwala border. This brigade included Pakistan army’s Punjab regiment together with the Baloch regiment. Within minutes we pushed the Indian army quite far back. Their defense posts fell under our control. The Indian army was retreating back very fast and the Pakistani army was going forward with great speed.

Our army reached near Kausre-Hind post (Kasure). There was small segment of Indian army appointed to defend that post and their soldiers belonged to the Sikh Regiment. A few number of the Sikh Regiment stopped our way forward like an iron wall. They greeted us with the ovation (Slogan) of ‘Bolé-so-Nihal’ and attacked us like bloodthirsty, hungry lions and hawks. All these soldiers were Sikhs. There was even a dreadful hand-to-hand battle. The sky filled with roars of ‘Yaa Ali and Sat Sri Akal’. Even in this hand-to-hand fighting the Sikhs fought so bravely that all our desires, aspirations and dreams were shattered.

In this war Lt. Col. Gulab Hussain was killed. With him Maj. Mohammed Zaeef and Capt. Arif Alim also died. It was difficult to count the number of soldiers who got killed. We were astonished to see the courage of those, handful of Sikh soldiers. When we seized the possession of the three-story defense post of concrete, the Sikh soldiers went onto the roof and kept on persistently opposing us. The whole night they kept on showering fires on us and continued shouting the loud ovation of ‘Sat Sri Akal’. These Sikh soldiers kept on the encounter till next day. Next day the Pakistani tanks surrounded this post and bombed it with guns. Those, handful of Sikhs got martyred in this encounter while resisting us, but other Sikh soldiers then destroyed our tanks with the help of their artillery. Fighting with great bravery they kept on marching forward and thus our army lost its foothold.

Alas! A handful of Sikhs converted our great victory into big defeat and shattered our confidence and courage. The same thing happened with us in Dhaka, Bangladesh. In the battle of Jassur, the Singhs opposed the Pakistan army so fiercely that our backbone and our foothold were lost. This became the main important reason of our defeat; and Sikhs’ strength, safety and honour of the country, became the sole cause of their victory.

Ab Sardar ji log ke bahaduri ke bare me hum logo ko pakistaniyo ki gawahi chahiye? Ye to sab jante hain.

I think he went a little over board with that statement. People like Sam Manekshaw didnt do anything? He was leading the Indian army at that time wasnt he?
