What do Indians think of Timurlane?

[Joe Shearer]

For a 5'9", around 70 kg is perfect.

I'd like to be 75, my riding and rowing weight.

In China, he is seen as a negative figure yet impressible! He died an Heart attack when he was preparing for an invasion of Ming china. How is he viewed in India? Negative or Positive.

This guy is a Barbaric invader who is mass murderer and responsible for Millions of killings. He invaded Delhi and sacked it and then Burnt it.

This guy is responsible for mass killings and Mass rapes.

This guy is viewed as a Barbaric Killer.

Actually am around 5'10" and did not like the mirror when i was around 75 kilos. Now after losing some weight I feel fit and younger.
Anyway it may vary person to person. just whenever you feel weak during the period of losing weight,stop there.

So would I.

I was 75 in my 20s.

85 in my 30s.

And am now 95 in my 40s.

It all depends on your frame.

As long as you can carry it off, and do not feel bloated, weight and "fat" is more in the mind.

ok on topic: OP By indian, you meant indian indian or sub continental indian? In Bangladesh he is neither hated nor loved..... But the name has some weight! Babur himself used to take pride on his linkage to Lane!! Infact it was his legacy that influenced Babur to invade india!!!

I'm 5'8 & 92 kgs ! Too many bench presses & squats later I find that more strength & size comes at the expense of me having very sh*tty flexibility & me looking like Gimli the Dwarf ! So now I'm aiming for between 75 - 80 kg !

I feel bloated (or used to, before this latest cycle of exercise and diet) and would so like to shrink and look like a convict-deprived bloodhound.

These barbaric invaders only took pride on Killing and looting nothing more, Only reason Timur invaded Delhi is to Loot. Babur's case is different.

There is a line between the point where the shedding of excess weight makes you feel nice and active and where you begin to feel weak and your body compensates by conserving stores.

Before it starts breaking down muscle and liver glycogen.

Question is if Timur's objective was to wipe out Hindus as he claims , why did he stop at Kangra, Himachal Pradesh.

Why not go deeper upto South India, where Vijayanagara Empire still existed

Have you heard of quick and dirty?

This was a vicious psychopath, who used religion, and the pursuit of wealth, and all the rest of that as justifications for his killings and mass murders. Nobody faintly normal would build pyramids of skulls, for heavens' sake, and asking oneself wise questions about his possible strategy somehow doesn't ring normal; not for a man who doesn't ring normal.

 

[Lyrical Mockery]

Didn't Timur attacked a muslim sultanate? So how come he brought light of islam in the subcontinet, as one member said?
and ignore Sinochallenger. He doesn't know Indian history. He just posts what he reads in online communities and discussion boards.

Sino Challenger, having dumped his megaton on us at the outset, is now enjoying himself thoroughly, making the most outrageous comments he can think of, and watching us scurry around figuring out how to handle him, like ants in a disturbed ants nest. The only treatment for him is to clean up and leave; the equivalent of use lots of toilet paper, put the bowl down and open up the windows. And go and see a doctor, if your condition is as bad as that poor fellow's.

I remember reading some unconfirmed sources, stating that he met some stiff resistance as he went deeper making him turn back, wonder if that is true.

Whatever. They brought here a religion which caused division of this country into three pieces, cause thousands of death by hundreds of religious riots, and create hatred between their own countrymen etc etc......
