Hindu Resistance to be proud of

Monday, February 11, 2008

Fierce and persistent Hindu resistance to the Islamic Jihad prevented the

complete Islamization of India

In the battle for Kubha (Kabul) in 980 C.E., the Muslims defeated the

Hindus by using deceit. To ensure the secrecy of their advance, the

Muslims had muffled the sounds of their horses by covering the hooves of

their horses with felt and cloth. Dressed in black clothes the Muslims

almost reached the Hindu camps at 2 A.M. at night as they knew that the

Hindus did not fight from Sunset up to Sunrise.

After the Hindus retired for the night, the Muslim were busy preparing

for a night assault. While the Hindu army was in deep slumber, except for

a few scouts, the Muslim army attacked by taking cover of the dark and

stormy night.

The storm entirely camouflaged the advance of the Muslims as they

stealthily crept towards the Hindu camp, after crossing the few hillocks

that separated the two camps.

The entire Hindu army was caught unawares, but they still put up a stiff

fight against their treacherous and beastly adversaries. The battle

continued till past dawn, but the Hindu army had been overpowered,

tricked as it had been to give the advantage of surprise to the Muslims.

By late morning the remnants of the Hindu army retreated back to their

capital Kubha (Kabul), with the Muslims in hot pursuit. The Muslims soon

occupied Kabul and continued to push the Hindus eastwards.

Unlike the complete Islamization of Persia, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Turkey,

North Africa, the Islamization of India was never complete. After more

than one millennium of Muslim Tyranny from 715 up to 1761, more than 70

percent of the population of India remained Hindu. This was NOT due to

any Muslim charity or benevolence, since the murderous and savage

beastlike Muslims have none of these characteristics.

The Muslim tyranny in India was as blood-thirsty and insidious as it was

in all parts of the globe that were unfortunate to be trampled by the

Jihadis. The Hindus suffered initial setbacks due to the innocuous but

ill-founded belief amongst them, as amongst all other non-Muslims, that

the Muslims too were normal human beings, who would after a victory,

settle down to govern the defeated population. But once the nightmare of

Muslim tyranny began, the Hindus grew wiser relatively faster than most

of the other unfortunate victims of the Islamic Jihad.

Unlike the Zoroastrian Persians, the Hindus never surrendered to the

Muslim tyrants. They waged a relentless and violent struggle against the

Muslims.

It was the valiant Hindu resistance that put paid all the savagery of the

Muslims to convert all the Hindus to Islam at the pain of death.

When fortune favored them, the Hindus returned in almost equal measure,

the barbarism of the Muslims and struck fear in Muslim hearts for Hindu

warriors like Krishna Deva Raya, Rani Durgavati, Shivaji, Guru Gobind

Singh, Banda Singh Bahadur and many others. The reason why the Hindus

survived thirteen centuries of savage Muslim tyranny was that they learnt

that the art of survival in face of a Muslim attack was giving back

almost as much as they got from the beastlike Muslims.

We use the qualifier "almost" as the Hindus slaughtered the Muslims on

the battlefield, but did not go to the extent of slaughtering Muslim

civilians and giving them the choice of Hinduism or death, Hindus did not

molest Muslim women en masse, neither did they destroy, en masse, all

Mosques, nor did they build Hindus temples over them (the Babri Masjid-

Ramjanabhomi struggle being a one off and very belated case). Never did

the Hindus, after a victory, impose a penal tax like the jaziya on all

Muslims and reduce the Muslims to such a state of servitude, that for

Muslims dying would be more preferable than living under a tyrannous

Hindu rule. There is no record of the defeated Muslims saving their skins

by either jumping in to the common fire (as the Hindus did in Jauhar) to

avoid converting to Hinduism.

It was this valiant Hindu resistance that put paid all the savagery of

the Muslims to convert all the Hindus to Islam at the pain of death. But

otherwise the sordid tale of Muslim savagery was no less brutal from that

in other parts of the world overrun by the Islamic Jihadis.

Muslims invaded India only four years after they invaded Persia

Maharana Pratap, the Hindu Rajput king of Rajasthan fought a lifelong

battle with the Muslims.

Very few know that while the Muslims invaded Persia in 634, they invaded

Sindh in India on the orders of the gangster Umar (the Muslim Khalifa) in

638, just a gap of four years. But while Persia succumbed in seventeen

years by 651, Muslims took seven hundred years to overrun India (today

Sindh is a part of a Muslim country called Pakistan that was carved out

of Hindu India in 1947). And even after that they could not rule India in

peace.

The Hindu resistance was not just fierce, but it kept increasing in

ferocity till with the Marathas, the Hindus overtook the Muslims in their

ferocity. It was this lesson which the Hindus learnt from the Muslims and

applied against the Muslims, that led to the Hindu (Maratha) victories

against the beast-like Muslims. It was the Marathas who presaged

President Bush when he said "We will hunt down our enemies" The Marathas

literally hunted down the Muslims. The only other case of a Muslim defeat

in face of such tactics was in Ethiopia and Southern Sudan (Nubia) where

the African Christians of Nubia used guerilla tactics against the Muslims

to hunt them down and finally to defeat them.

Foul Tactics used by the Muslims against Indians (Hindus) Although the

Arab Muslims on the orders of the gangster Caliph Umar, attacked India in

638, they were repeatedly defeated by the Rajas of Makara (Makran) and

Sindh. The Arab chroniclers then wrote derisive accounts of the reasons

for their defeats at the hands of the Hindus by saying that the Hindus

practice Voodoo and Black Magic and so bring Jinns and Shaitan to help

them in war. Hence the Arabs cannot defeat them, the way the Arabs could

easily defeat the Persians and the Byzantines.

But the Hindus were tenacious fighters. We need only to remember how the

Greeks under Alexander overcame the Persian Achemanian empire in a few

years, after which they attacked India, but the Hindus contested the

Greeks so fiercely and harassed the Greek army so much that inspite of

the Greeks securing a costly victory in the battle along the river

Hydaspes (Vitasta, today's Jhelum), the Greek troops mutinied and refused

to advance further into India.

How the Muslims blackmailed a guard to open the door of the fort of Debal

The Victory tower erected by Rana Kumbha, the Hindu Rajput ruler of

Chittod to commemorate his innumerable victories over the Muslim

invaders.

The Muslims too had a tough job with the Hindus. After an unsuccessful

campaign of more than eighty years from 638 C.E., the Muslims ultimately

captured the Fort of Deval (Debal near modern Karachi) by deceit, by

kidnapping the three children of the chief guardsman of the fort of

Debal, beheading one and threatening to behead the other two. With this

blackmail, they forced him to leave one of the secret trap doors open,

after they had feigned retreat. Due to this betrayal, the Muslims could

finally sink their ugly claws into India under their beast-like leader

Mohammed-ibn- Qasim (Mohammed bin Kasim).

The Hindus never forgot this treachery and eventually learnt from it . In

this treacherous attack, the Muslims kidnapped two princesses of the King

Dahirsen (Raja Dabir) of Debal. The leader of the Muslim brigands, Qasim

and sent them as captives to the Khilafa (Caliph), as a gift with a

message that they were royal virgins, meant to be ravished by his

holiness (sic) the lecherous Caliph himself. But these princesses

outsmarted the Caliph.

The two princesses tore apart their hymen with their own hands and told

the caliph that their modesty had already been violated by Qasim. The

Caliph did not believe them, but when he saw for himself the ruptured

hymens, he was convinced that Qasim had violated the modesty of the

princesses and then sent them over to him. The thought that Qasim had

fooled him so enraged the lecherous Caliph that he summoned Qasim to

present himself at Baghdad. With Qasim in chains, the Caliph accused him

of betrayal. Although Qasim pleaded his innocence, the Caliph, asked for

Qasim to be locked in a barrel with nails stuck on the inside and had him

rolled down a hill.

Qasim died a cruel but a well deserved death. And the first generation of

Hindus whom this beast-like Muslim had tormented and slaughtered,

received poetic justice in the death of this accursed Muslim general who

vandalized Sindh.

How the Rajput Hindus trounced the Arab Muslims for five hundred years

The Muslims had studied Hindu warfare practices and misused the weakness

of the Hindus to their hilt. Sabuktagin's spies had told him that the

Hindus start warfare at Sunrise and end it at sunset. The crafty Muslim

chieftain decided to use this practice of the Hindus against them. After

the Hindus retired for the night, the Muslim were busy preparing for a

night assault. While the Hindu army was in deep slumber, except for a few

scouts, the Muslim army attacked by taking cover of the dark and stormy

night. When they were spotted, the Hindu scouts raised a hue and cry to

awaken their sleeping troops. But it was too late. Before any significant

number of the Hindus could arise to don their armor and be ready to fight

the Muslims, a large number of them were done to death while they were

half awake and struggling to prepare themselves for war.

After the Muslim occupied Sindh, they did not rest quiet, they attacked

Punjab, but were repulsed, then they attacked Rajputana, but were

repulsed by Kings like Raja Bhoj, and when they attacked Gujarat, they

were defeated by the Chalukyas (Solankis) of Anahilwada at the battle of

Mount Arbuda (Abu).

Thus the Muslims could not make any headway into India from their

occupation of Sindh in 715, up to 980. It was only in the year 980, that

the Muslims could invade India once again. But they had to use another

gateway. Instead of attacking Rajasthan, Punjab and Gujarat from Sindh,

they attacked the Shahiya kingdom in Upaganastan (Afghanistan --

literally the land of allied tribes).

Arabs fail to conquer India, Turks and Mongols (Mughals) take up the

Jihad against India

These second Muslim lunge towards India was not led by Arab Muslims, but

they were the Persian, Turkish and Mongol converts to Islam. The first

Turko-Persian Muslim chieftain to attack the Hindu domains was named

Sabuktagin. He ruled from Ghazni and had forced his way up to the domains

of Jayapala Shahiya (Hindu-shahis) the Hindu Raja of Kubha (later renamed

as Kabul by the city's Muslims occupiers).

How the Muslims used the peculiar war ethics of the Hindus to craftily

defeat them

The Jaswant Thada at Jodhpur was erected by Rana Jaswant Singh in memory

of the victories the Rajputs secured against the Muslims during the 17th

century. The Jaswant Thada rivals the Taj Mahal in its pristine beauty

and is a poetry in Marble.

The Muslims had studied Hindu warfare practices and misused the weakness

of the Hindus to their hilt. Sabuktagin's spies had told him that the

Hindus start warfare at Sunrise and end it at sunset.

The crafty Muslim chieftain decided to use this practice of the Hindus

against them. He challenged Jayapala Shahiya to open warfare and decided

the place and date of the war. True to his word the Hindu king reached

the appointed place one day before the day of the war. This was in the

year 980. The Muslims too had assembled at the appointed place and the

two adversaries exchanged ambassadors and decided that the hostilities

would commence at sunrise the next day. After the Hindus retired for the

night, the Muslim were busy preparing for a night assault. While the

Hindu army was in deep slumber, except for a few scouts, the Muslim army

attacked by taking cover of the dark and stormy night. The storm entirely

camouflaged the advance of the Muslims as they stealthily crept towards

the Hindu camp, after crossing the few hillocks that separated the two

camps.

The Muslims had muffled the sounds of their advance by covering the

hooves of their horses with felt and cloth. Dressed in dark clothes the

Muslims almost reached the Hindu camps at 2 A.M. at night. When they were

spotted, the Hindu scouts raised a hue and cry to awaken their sleeping

troops. But it was too late. Before any significant number of the Hindus

could arise to don their armor and be ready to fight the Muslims, a large

number of them were done to death while they were half awake and

struggling to prepare themselves for war.

The entire Hindu army was caught unawares, but they still put up a stiff

fight against their beastly adversaries. The battle continued till past

dawn, but the Hindu army had been overpowered, tricked as it had been to

give the advantage of surprise to the Muslims. By late morning the

remnants of the Hindu army retreated back to their capital Kubha (Kabul),

with the Muslims in hot pursuit. The Muslims soon occupied Kabul and

continued to push the Hindus eastwards.

The Muslims came for the luncheon arranged at the banks of the Ravi river

where the Hindu army had encamped. While intermingling with the soldiers,

the Muslims moved about towards the stables of the Hindu camp and

expressed surprise at how the Hindus fed their mighty elephants. The

innocuous Hindus were playing the role of the gracious hosts, and

indulged their "guests" with every query they asked. After all the

Muslims were their guests and the Hindus had a quaint belief that "A

guest is like God" (Athithi Devoh Bhava), but little did these

unsuspecting Hindus realize that these Muslims guests were Satan

incarnate! While the unsuspecting Hindus showed them around the elephant

stables, the Muslims secretly fed the elephants poppy seeds (opium) mixed

with fruits.

After the defeat at Kubha, the disgraced Hindu king Raja Jayapala Shahiya

egged on by his son Anandpala Shahiya decided to shift his capital to

Udabandapura (modern day Und in North West Frontier Province --

Paktoonisthan the province of the Pakhta tribe mentioned in the

Mahabharata period in ancient Hindu). But Jayapala could not bear the

humiliation of defeat and decided to immolate himself rather than live

with the shame of having been defeated by the Muslims with treachery. The

crown passed to his son Anandpala Shahiya.

Thus ended the first Hindu-Muslim encounter in the year 980 C.E. two and

half centuries after the Arabs had occupied Sindh in 715 C.E. after their

first attacks on India that had started in 638 C.E. After this too it was

only in 1192 that the Muslims could capture Delhi and in 1326 that they

could reach South India. So more than three centuries of constant and

treacherous Muslim attacks were needed to enable the Muslims to make a

dent into India and only after nearly seven centuries of Muslim

aggression could the Jihadis tentatively and temporarily overrun India.

This stands in sharp contract to the swift capture and conversion of

Persia, Syria, Egypt, North Africa, and Spain all of which fell to the

truculent Muslim armies in less than eighty years from 635 C.E. up to 711

C.E.

How the Muslims poisoned the elephants of the Hindus at the Battle of

Lahore to snatch victory once again using subterfuge

In the initial defeats of the Muslims, the Hindus had used armor-clad

elephants. The Muslim realized that these elephants would be their

nemesis. As the Muslims came from Afghanistan, they had no access to

elephants, so they decided to use subterfuge which was instinctive for

the Muslims practiced as it was from the days of the Treaty of Hudaibiya

by their lecherous, treacherous, mass-murderer, false prophet Mohammed .

The Muslims seized on their victory over the Hindu army and overran the

capital Kubha (which was renamed Kabul by the aggressors) they destroyed

the Hindu temples there and force converted the Hindu population that

stayed behind, to Islam. After the defeat of Jayapala Shahiya, his son

Anandpala Shahiya, moved his capital from Kubha (present day Kabul) to

Udbhandapura (present day Und where Jayapala committed Jauhar) and

finally to Luvkushpura (present day Lahore).

He gathered all allies he could from Northern India and opposed the

invading Muslims, now led by Sabuktagin's son Mahmud of Ghazni. The

armies met on the banks of the Ravi near Lahore. In the initial

skirmishes, the Muslims were worsted by the Hindus who led the attacks

using armor-clad elephants, and were determined to liberate their

motherland from the schizophrenic savages which is what the Muslims were.

In the initial defeats of the Muslims, the Hindus had pushed the Muslims

up to the foothills of the Hindu Kush mountains. After these defeats, the

Muslim realized that the armor-clad Elephants would be their nemesis and

put paid any further invasions of India.

As the Muslims came from Afghanistan, they had no access to elephants, so

they decided to use subterfuge which was instinctive for the Muslims

practiced as it was from the days of the Treaty of Hudaibiya by their

lecherous, treacherous, mass-murderer false prophet Mohammed.

The Muslims sent an envoy to Anandpala, saying that they are suing for

peace, their conditions were that they should be allowed safe passage out

of the country. As a gesture of goodwill they wanted to come over to the

Hindu camp and have a common meal with the Hindus, to seal the peace

treaty. Against the advice of his allies, the innocuous and unsuspecting

Anandpala agreed to meet the treacherous Muslim marauders.

The Hindus were in for a shock when their elephants refused to obey their

mahouts (elephant riders) orders and started running amok and away from

the battlefield. The opium that had been fed deceptively by the Muslims,

had begun to have its effect. With Anandpala also on one of the elephants

which had started running helter-skelter, the confusion grew in the

remaining Hindu troops. The Muslims cunningly spread the word that

Anandpala was retreating. This led to the disarray and ultimately to

defeat of the Hindus at the battle of Lahore.

The Muslims came for the luncheon arranged at the banks of the Ravi river

where the Hindu army had encamped. While intermingling with the soldiers,

the Muslims moved about in the stables of the Hindu camp and expressed

surprise at how the Hindus fed their mighty elephants. With the Hindus

playing the role of the gracious hosts, indulged their "guests" with

every query they asked. After all the Muslims were their guests and the

Hindus had a quaint belief that "A guest is like God" (Athithi Devoh

Bhava), but little did these unsuspecting Hindus realize that these

Muslims guests were Satan incarnate! While the unsuspecting Hindus showed

them around the elephant stables, the Muslims secretly fed the elephants

poppy seeds (opium) mixed with fruits.

The poppy seeds being raw did not have immediate effect and everything

seemed normal. The dastardly deed being done, the Muslim contingent left

the Hindu camp and returned to their own camp. The Hindus self-satisfied

that the war was over and the peace had now been sealed with a common

luncheon began preparations to dismantle their camp.

To their utter amazement, in the next few hours, the Muslim cavalry

surrounded the Hindu camp in a pincer move and began a fierce attack with

shrieks of Allahuakbar. The confused Hindus belatedly, realized that they

had been double-crossed by the Muslims. But manfully they fastened the

howdas (seats for the riders of the elephants like saddles for horsemen)

to their elephants and charged at the besieging Muslims in a disorderly

manner. The Hindus were in for a shock when their elephants refused to

obey their mahouts (elephant riders) orders and started running amok and

away from the battled. The opium fed deceptively by the Muslims had begun

to have its effect. With Anandpala also on one of the elephants which had

started running helter-skelter, the confusion grew in the remaining Hindu

troops.

The Muslims cunningly spread the word that Anandpala was retreating, as

he knew that a new and strengthened Muslim army had joined the existing

Muslims forces. The rumor gained credence, as the Hindus saw that

Anandpala's elephant had gone a considerable distance away from the

battle. There isolated from his main army, Anandpala was pursued by the

Muslims who had kept him under watch.

Muslims who had kept him under watch. They surrounded him, cut down the

leather strips that held his howdah on the elephant, and when the howdah

fell on the ground, they decapitated the unfortunate Anandpala, beheaded

him, stuck his head on a spike and paraded it before the Hindu army which

was already in confusion.

This grisly sight further demoralized the remaining Hindu troops who had

initially lost heart when they saw their leader in "retreat". Now with

his head on a spike, a sight which they had never seen in battles before,

totally unnerved them, and the Hindu retreat turned into a rout, with

many of the Hindus massacred on the battlefield.

totally unnerved them, and the Hindu retreat turned into a rout, with

many of the Hindus massacred on the battlefield.

The rest was easy, for the Muslims to tear down the remaining Hindu

troops and turn what was on the way to becoming a Hindu victory into a

Muslim one, with the use of subterfuge and betrayal of the innate faith

which the Hindus had even in an unscrupulous enemy like the treacherous

Muslims.

This should have been a lesson about the Muslim mind for the Hindus. But

it was not to be as, we shall see such foul tricks were repeated over and

over again by the Muslims in the coming centuries in their duel of death

with the Hindus.

How the Muslims tricked Trilochanpala, kidnapped and murdered him by

luring him using Muslims dressed as Hindu hermits (Sanyasis)

After snatching victory through subterfuge at Lahore, the Muslims began

to penetrate deeper into the country. Anandpala attained veergati

(martyrdom) through the deceit of the Muslims, as had his father

Jayapala. Now the teenaged grandson of Jayapala Shaiya, Tirlochanpala

Shahiya took the reins of the death struggle against the Muslims in to

his hands. He was then just a teenager at seventeen years of age when the

ascended the once glorious throne of the Shahiyas.

The Shahiya empire which had once stretched from the rivers Yamuna to the

Kubha (Kabul), was now a shadow of its former glory. The first move

Tirlochanpala did was to shift the capital from Lahore to Kangra in

today's Himachal Pradesh. Kangra was in a relatively fortified position,

from where he tried to reorganize the defense of his vastly reduced

domains.

The Shahiya empire which stretched from Herat to Hardwar, was now pushed

to one fifth its size and its western border which was once at Heart

during the reign of Jayapala Shahiya was now pushed about a thousand

miles east at Kalka in the Shivalik Hills which were the foothills of the

Himalayas. The Shahiya domains had now shrunk and did not occupy a

position to block the further advance of the Muslims into India. But he

followed the valiant example of his father and grandfather and allied

himself with the kings of Kashyapmeru (Kashmir) and Tibet, to eject the

Muslims from Punjab and Upaganasthan (Afghanistan) .

Sabuktagin's son Mahmud Ghazni, wanted to nip this effort in the bud. He

again made use of the patented Muslim mechanism of subterfuge. He sent a

group of his soldiers dressed up as Hindu mendicants to meet

Tirlochanpala. These mendicants went to Kangra and sent in a message that

they come from Kubha (Kabul) and bring a message to their king whose

ancestors originally ruled Kabul. With this trick, they gained entry into

Tirlochanpala's headquarters at the fortress of Kangra.

Once in his presence, the mendicants surrounded the unsuspecting young

prince and sliced his neck and made off with his severed head, leaving a

note beside his headless body that Islam will finally overcome anyone who

decided to block the path of Allah's soldiers. A few days later a Muslim

army arrived at the Kangra valley, stormed the fort of Kangra, and sacked

it of the opulent riches that it held from the once vast Shahiya empire.

This happened in the year 1020 C.E. The downfall of the Shahiya empire

was so complete within forty years spanning a struggle over three

generations that a few centuries later people even doubted if the

Shahiyas (Hindu-Shahis) ever existed. The memory of a dynasty that had

held guard at the North West frontier of India since the days of the

Kushanas in the 3rd century C.E. disappeared into the sands of time. The

only reminder today is the ruins of the fortress of Kangra around which

the silver coins artfully minted by the Shahiyas are still to be found.

The remainder of the once formidable Shahiya army, became leaderless and

demoralized. They migrated deep into the Himalayas and settled down as

goat-herds. They came to be known as Gaddis. These Gaddis follow this

profession to this day and they still inhabit the Himalayas coming down

to the Shivalik foothills and the plains of Punjab in the winter to graze

their cattle. Thus with Tirlochapala's death, the last scion of the Hindu

dynasty that ruled Afghanistan and Punjab passed away.

The next Hindu (Sikh) king of Punjab was to be Maharaja Ranjit Singh who

ascended the throne after a gap of eight hundred years in the 18th

century. The interregnum was to be the dark interlude of Muslim tyranny,

during which the majority of the Hindus of Afghanistan, Paktoonistan and

West Punjab were converted to Islam at the pain of death.

The plunder of Somanath by Mahmud Ghaznavi

The defeat of the Shahiyas opened the Indian heartland to these heartless

invaders and Mahmud of Ghazni, repeatedly attacked India. His raids for

plundering and destroying Hindu shrines at Somnath, Palitana, Thanesar

(Staneshwara) , Mathura, Kannauj, Khajuraho regularly every year are

still recollects with dread. His aim initially was limited to collecting

a large booty every time as also take many Hindu captives who were sold

into slavery in the bazaars of Baghdad and other Muslim cities. His raid

on the famous Hindu shrine of Somnath located at Prabhash Patan in

Gujarat is seared in Hindu memory till today.

The many Hindu captives that he took from were transported on foot across

the Western ranges of the Himalayas. Many Hindu captives could not face

up to the merciless treatment of their cruel captors, and died in large

numbers along the way. These deaths of the Hindus is remembered in the

name which the Muslim gave to the Western Himalayas as "Hindu Kush",

which means the Killer of Hindus (Kush means 'to kill' in Persian)

How the Hindus inflicted the first major and decisive defeat on Muslims

at the battle of Baharaich in 1033

The fact that in spite of the subterfuge that the Muslims used, the

Hindus did register one spectacular victory over the Muslims in 1033 at

Baharaich in today's Uttar Pradesh. The invader was Mahumd Ghazni's son,

Masud Ghazni, who following his father's footsteps invaded India with a

large army. The difference now was that he did not intend limiting

himself to looting as his father had done, but planned a permanent

occupation of the entire country.

With this aim in mind, he penetrated deep in to the Ganges valley and

established his camp at Baharaich in today's eastern Uttar Pradesh. From

there he sent word to the surrounding Hindu kings to surrender and

embrace Islam!

As was their practice, before the beginning of hostilities, the Hindu

kings also sent a messenger to Masud that this land being theirs, his

troops should peacefully vacate it (as was done once again unsuccessfully

by the Government of India before the inception of the 1999 Kargil war

when Pakistan occupied Indian territory at Kargil Drass and Mushkoh

sectors in Kashmir). But Masud sent a reply that all land belonged to

Khuda (the Persianized version of Allah) and he could settle wherever he

pleased. And that it was his holy duty to convert to Islam all those who

did not recognize his Khuda and accept Islam.

Consequently, Masud's huge army was besieged by the even greater Hindu

army and no side gave the other any quarter. The Hindus, for once as an

exception had learnt their lesson about Muslim treachery, after being

victimized for four hundred years from 638 onwards. At the battle of

Baharaich, gradually the Hindus began to decimate the Muslim army and as

the hostilities progressed, Masud saw the unsuccessful end of his

expedition. This bitter and bloody war was fought in the month of June

1033.

In this ferocious and bloodied war, no side took any prisoners and it

ended only with the slaughter of the entire invading Muslim army along

with many martyrs from the defending Hindu army.

What was exceptional during this war was that the folly of pardoning a

defeated enemy, that was displayed by Prithviraj Chauhan 160 years later

in 1191, was not to be seen. The Hindus seemed to have followed the

tradition of their ancient king Ramchandra of Ayodhya when he defeated

and killed Ravan and his entire army at the battle of Lanka.

The battle of Baharaich ended on 14th June 1033. At the gory end, the

entire invading army along with their commander lay dead. Not one enemy

soldier was allowed to return. There still exists today near Baharaich

the grave of the commander of the invader -- Prince Ghazi Mian Masud.

There he is hailed today by the local Muslims as a Ghazi and a Peer (a

Muslim who is raised sainthood by being a killer of non-Muslims) . And

every year till this day an Urs (Muslim religious assemblage) is held in

his memory. What is forgotten is the valiance of the Hindu soldiers who

lost their lives in this major victory against the first Jihadi invasion

in to the Indian heartland. Ironically and foolishly, some local Hindus

too visit the invader's grave to ask for personal boons.

After this decisive and ruthless Hindu victory, peace prevailed in the

country for a century and a half; till the next (and now, unfortunately a

successful) wave of Muslim invasions started under the leadership of

Mohammed Ghori.

This interlude of one hundred and fifty years from 1033 up to 1187, had

made the Hindus forget the treacherous nature of the Muslims. The

Ghaznivid kingdom of West Punjab (established by Mahmud Ghazni on the

former territory of the Shahiya kingdom), had made peace with its Hindu

neighbors and the Hindus were under a delusion that the Muslims were like

any other invader who would settle down in India and be absorbed into

Hindu society, as had happened earlier with the Greeks, Huns, Kushans,

etc.

The policy of the Ghaznivid occupiers of West Punjab to issue coins in

Sanskrit and use the Sanskrit version of Muslim names as Mahamada for

Mohammed, fuelled this wrong impression about the true nature of the

Muslims in the minds of the innocuous Hindus.

Mohammed-ibn- Sam or Mohammed of Ghauri (Ghori), the tormentor of Hindus

was a descendant of Hindu converts to Islam The next Muslim onslaught

came in the year 1187, when the Muslim chieftain of a place named Ghor in

Afghanistan, overthrew the Ghaznavid ruler in Ghazni. These Gauris

(pronounced by the Muslims as Ghauri, Ghori and rendered in English as

Ghurid) were originally Hindu cowherds and were subjects of the Shahiyas,

who had been converted by force to Islam, by the Ghaznavids, who

overthrew the Shahiya power in Afghanistan in 980 C.E.

Now in the 1187 After a lapse of 200 years, these ex-Hindus who had been

forced to embrace Islam, had become cruel and merciless like any other

Muslims and not a trace of their Hindu ancestry was evident in their

mindset, except for the name Gauri (derived from Gau which means cow in

Sanskrit). Their name "Gauri" traced their humble origins as Hindu

cowherds. From their name Gauri, the place from where they hail, derived

its Islamized name Ghaur or Ghor. Though Muslims, the Gauris got poetic

justice, by annihilating the kingdom of their former tormentors, the

Ghaznavids. But ironically these former Hindu cowherds, the Gauris had

now become the new ruthless tormentors of their former compatriots -- the

Hindus.

Solankis of Anahilwada utterly defeat Mohammed in 1187 and force him to

flee

After overcoming the Ghaznivid governor of Punjab, Mohammed Ghori found

his way into India proper blocked by three powerful Hindu kingdoms -- the

Solankis (Chalukyas) of Anahilwada in Gujarat, the Chahmanas (Chouhans)

of Delhi, Ajmer and Sambhar; and the Rathods (Gahadwals) of Kannauj

(Uttar Pradesh).

Mohammed allied himself with the Muslim governor of Sindh and in 1187,

unleashed the full fury of his aggression on Gujarat. But to his

misfortune, the Hindu Solankis (Chalukyas) of Anahilwada, defeated him

utterly at the battle on the plains below Mount Arbuda (Abu) and forced

him to retreat across the Thar desert.

Thus the S9olankis of Gujarat once again lit the bright flame of Hindu

valor in Gujarat in repelling a Muslim attack. The next time this flame

in Gujarat was to be lit while resisting a Muslim barbarity was in March

2002, when the Hindus of Gujarat, retaliated massively against the

Muslims who had roasted alive 58 Hindu pilgrims in a Railroad coach near

Godhra Railway station when they were returning from a pilgrimage to a

Hindu holy town Ayodhya.

It was at Ayodhya where Babar another Muslim invader had demolished a

major Hindu temple dedicated to Rama, an ancient Hindu king, who has been

deified as a god by the Hindus and is a popular deity in India. This is

the present Ram Janmabhoomi- Babri Masjid issue between the Hindus and

Muslims in India. He dynasty founded by Babar literally took their

mindset after his name and should aptly be called "Babarians" as they

demolished temples (as was done by Aurangzeb at Varanasi, Ayodhya,

Mathura and many other places), they also slaughtered soldiers who had

surrendered (as was done by Akbar at Chittod where he slaughtered thirty

thousand Rajput soldiers who had surrendered to him good faith.) How the

Muslims covered their retreat by using a herd of cows to prevent the

Hindu army from pursuing them Returning to the 12th century when Mohammed

Ghori was defeated by the Solankis and had to retreat from the western

edge of the Thar, he tried invading India from another route. But on the

other side of the Thar lay the domains of the Maharaja of Sambhar (Shaka-

ambara) Prithviraj Chauhan, who was known for his bravery and chivalry.

Mohammed having tasted defeat at Hindu hands once, decided to make use of

subterfuge. He studied Hindu warfare, as had been done by Sabuktgin two

hundred years before him. Thus, fully prepared to invade India, he

advanced through West Punjab and laid siege to the fortress of Bhatinda

in East Punjab, that lay on the borders of Prithvitraja's domains. Soon,

he had to face the wrath of the Rajputs, and at Tarain (also known as

Taraori) in today's Haryana, the two armies clashed furiously.

Mohammed Ghori captured by Prithviraj Chouhan

In face of the repeated onslaughts of the Rajput cavalry, the Muslims

broke ranks and fled leaving their king Mohammed Ghori a prisoner in

Prithviraja's hands. Their defeat by the Solankis of Anahilwada had given

the Muslims a foretaste of Hindu valor. But in that retreat they had to

leave behind many of the best steeds in their cavalry which fell in to

the hands of the pursuing Solanki army.

To prevent this from happening again this time, the Muslims resorted to a

trick. Once the fortunes of the battle turned against them at Tarain, and

their king Mohammed Ghori himself was captured by the Rajputs, the

Muslims broke into retreat, with the Rajputs in hot pursuit, the fleeing

Muslim general Kutub-ud-din Aibak let loose a large herd of cows chained

to each other to block the path of the pursing Hindu army. Thus with

their path blocked by bovines, whom the Hindus looked upon as a deity, it

was impossible for the Hindus to cut down the cows blocking their path,

and the Muslim army shrewdly made its escape, reducing its losses and

preventing many Muslim soldiers from being taken as captives by the

victorious Hindus.

How Prithviraja foolishly pardoned Mohammed Ghori whom he had defeated

and captured in 1191

The fortress town of Chittod was the site of many seminal battles between

the Hindus (Rajputs) and the Muslim aggressors. In these see-saw battles

ultimately, after a struggle over thirteen centuries, the Hindus

prevailed over the Muslims in spite of Muslim deception treachery and

cruelty.

When the captured Mohammed Ghori was brought before Prithviraja as a

captive bound in chains, he pretended to be repentant, while internally

he was seething with rage at being humiliated for having been captured by

a Kafir king. This rage proved itself a few years later when their

(Prithviraj's and Ghori's) roles were reversed.

But for now as a prisoner in chains before Prithviraja, Mohammed Ghori

begged for mercy and promised that he would never lift his eyes toward

India.

This foolishly melted the innocuous Prithviraja and he ordered that

Mohammed's chains be removed. In his feigned gratitude Mohamed told

Prithviraja that he was like his brother. This statement floored

Prithviraja even further. Going against the advice of his friend Chand

Vardai, his generals Hammira, and the brave warrior twins Aalaa and

Uddhal, he ordered Mohammed to be released and as a token of his

generosity, he also gifted his captive five hundred horses and twenty

elephants and honorably released him!

Once freed, the vengeful Mohammed who was seething for revenge made his

way back to Ghori and planned his next attack on Prithviraj!

On reaching Ghor, Mohammed reneged on his sham promise to Prithviraj and

promptly murdered the escorts and envoys that Privithraja had sent to

accompany Mohammed to Ghor and sent their severed heads as token of his

"goodwill" to the astonished Prithviraj. Mohammed Ghori also immediately

started preparing for another assault on India. Going by the experiences

of his two defeats at the hands of the Solankis and Chauhans, Mohammed

Ghori decided to go by subterfuge, the patented mentality of the Muslims

that has given them victory over more powerful, but less scheming and

treacherous adversaries.

Mohammed's spies told him that whenever the Hindus battled each other,

the armies fought from sunrise up to sunset. There was no warfare before

Sunrise and after sunset (in the hours of darkness).

Mohammed's use of subterfuge to defeat Prithviraja In the following year,

Mohammed broke his deceptive promise to Prithviraja and attacked India

once again. The two armies again gathered at the same battlefield at

Tarain. The Rajput army had camped near a river so as to do their morning

ablutions before the war could be joined on the next morning, as was

decided by the two commanders. But violating convention, the Muslim army

attacked at 3 A.M. before dawn, as had the army of Sabuktgin in the year

980 (a fact which the Hindus had foolishly forgotten).

When the Muslims unexpectedly broke into the Hindu camp, Prithviraj's

soldiers had begun their morning ablutions and some were still asleep,

and so were totally unprepared for the assault. But they did their best

to group their forces and resist the Muslims. The Muslims had the

advantage of surprise which they had gained by deceit.

The uneven battle continued till noon, by when the Muslims had

slaughtered many of the Rajputs. But the Rajputs did not yield and

slaughtered many of their treacherous Muslim enemy too and gradually

gained the upper hand. By Midday, it looked like the second battle of

Tarain would also go the way the first had gone. Mohammed saw victory

slipping from his hands once again.

So he resorted to another patented Muslim subterfuge of single combat --

called Mard-o-Mard in Farsi (Persian). This is a technique which Muslims

had used quite cunningly against the Zoroastrian Persians, some six

centuries earlier when the barbaric Muslim hordes first burst out of

Arabia.

In order to humiliate Prithviraj, Mohammed sent word that he would call

off the battle, if Prithviraja came and fought his champion Qutub-ud-din

Aibak in single combat. To save the lives of his soldiers, and to

conclude the war quickly Prithviraja agreed. The rule in single combat

was that when one combatant is either pinned down or killed, the army to

which he belongs concedes defeat retreats. No other combatant is allowed

to participate in this combat, hence the name single combat.

But with the insidious Muslims, this rule did not hold. So at the battle

of Tarain, when the two met and Prithviraja's sword felt heavy on Qutub

who risked losing his life, Qutub resorted to a feint and by whirling

below his saddle he cut off the feet of Prithviraja's horse, before

Prithviraj could realize what he was up to. This made Prithviraja trip

and fall of his horse.

This was a foul move, and it would have been fair, had Qutub, also

dismounted and fought Prithviraja on foot. Instead at a pre-arranged

signal from Qutub, a band of truculent Muslim soldiers, who had till then

stood aside in the grab of horse-tenders, jumped on Prithviraja, pinned

him down, pressed on his face a dose of hashish (that grew abundantly in

the poppy farms of Afghanistan as they do till this day) bound the

drugged Prithviraja in chains and galloped away with him as a prisoner

into their ranks, before the Rajputs could realize what had happened.

The Muslim immediately carried away the captive and drugged Prithviraj

and hoisted him on one of the elephants that Prithviraj had gifted to

Mohammed Ghori when he had released Ghori. The Muslim spread a rumor in

the Rajput camp that Prithviraj was dead and that they were holding aloft

his dead body to show the Rajputs the futility of fighting further.

When the Rajputs evidently saw that they their Maharaj (King) was dead

with his corpse in the hands of the enemy, they lost nerve and through

enraged, fell back against Pithoragarh, their fortified capital at

Mehrauli near Delhi.

The betrayal and blinding of Prithviraja, and how he avenged his

humiliation

The battle scarred ramparts of Chittod fort witnessed many treacherous

attempts by the Muslims to conquer this fort. And although they did

capture it with trickery a couple of times, they could never hold it for

long When Prithviraj was presented in chains before Mohammed Ghori, he

reminded Mohammed how Ghori was himself presented before Prithviraja in

chains and how Prithviraja had honorably released him. On hearing this

Mohammed and his courtiers laughed derisively at Prithviraja. When

Prithviraja glared back at Mohammed and his courtiers, Mohammed ordered

him to lower his eyes as he was now a captive. When Prithviraja told him

that a Rajput's eyes are lowered only after death, Mohammed in a fit of

rage ordered that Prithviraja's eyes be pierced with red hot irons. He

kept the blinded Pritiviraja in solitary confinement and had him

occasionally hauled to his court for being made fun of as the "Lion of

Delhi".

During this period of humiliating captivity, Prithviraja was joined by

his friend and biographer Chandra Vardai (Chand Bardai) who joined his

master in prison, after offering himself as a prisoner to Mohammed. It

was in prison, that Chandra Vardai told Prithviraja of a plan to avenge

his betrayal and humiliation. Before an annual event of Buskhazi (a kind

of wild sport in which the Afghans indulged), Chandra Vardai told

Mohammed, that Prithviraja would like to show his skill in archery, but

he would accept orders only from a king who had defeated him. And as

Mohammed was the only king who had done that, Mohammed Ghori himself

would have to order Prithviraj to shoot!

Mohammed's ego being rubbed the right way, he readily agreed. On the said

day Prithviraja was brought to the assemblage. And when Mohammed gave the

order for Prithviraja to shoot, Chandra Vardai in the following poetic

stanza "Char bans, chaubis gaj, angul asta pramaan, Ete pai Sultan hai,

Ab mat chuko Chouhan." (Ten measures ahead of you and twenty four feet

away, is seated the Sultan, do not miss him now, Chouhan). On hearing

these words Prithviraja whirled in the direction of Mohammed and shot

three arrows one after the other and wounded Mohammed fatally. Thus

Prithviraja had his justice, although due to his folly in pardoning the

ghoulish fiend Mohammed, he lost his kingdom and India lost its

sovereignty.

The reasons for the Muslim character of the lands known today as

Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh Today we do not have an idea of how

a merciless Islamic Jihad forcibly transformed Hindu society of Pakistan

and Bangladesh into a Muslim one with a merciless tyranny of one thousand

years. While in the erstwhile Indian territory of what is today

Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh; Hinduism was supplanted entirely by

Islam, in what is today India; the Muslim tyranny succeeded only

partially in converting a part of the population to Islam.

In fact those parts of erstwhile Hindu and Buddhist India where a

majority of the Hindus and Buddhists were converted to Islam have become

distinct Muslim nations of Afghanistan Pakistan and Bangladesh today.

These countries were parts of India, before the Muslims invaded that part

of the world.

We shall see at the end of this article the methods used by the Muslim

tormentors to convert a large part of the Hindus to Islam. Many Muslims

today raise a canard about an alleged tolerant nature of Muslim rule in

India because of which a majority of Indian today have remained Hindus.

They try to pull wool over your eyes, and are supported by the

unabashedly pro-Jihadi, pro-terrorist anchors in Indian electronic media

like NDTV and IBN and in the English print media in India like the Muslim

managed "Asian Age", and the communist controlled "Hindu" along with the

pink-tinted Times of India, Indian Express, and many other leading

(rather misleading) national dailies in India.

These pro-terrorist scoundrels from the NDTV and IBN often pose (rather

impose) a question as to how only eleven percent of the population of

India is Muslim if the Muslim rulers were tormentors who made Hindus

accept Islam at the point of the sword?

The issue here is that in historic times when we refer to India we

include all those parts that were inhabited by Hindus and Buddhists

before the Muslim aggression. So what is today Bangladesh, Pakistan and

Afghanistan as well as India, are parts of historic India. And so when we

consider this geographic entity as one whole, the population of Muslims

(in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh together accounts for

fifty five percent).

The fact that Hindus still account for forty five percent of the

population is due to the fact that in Rajputana, Maharashtra, Orissa,

Nepal, Assam and South India, the Hindus defeated and rolled back the

Muslim aggressors, so its was these parts that remained predominantly

Hindu. In other parts of India, like Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh

which were under Muslim rule for an unbroken one thousand years, the

Hindu population was decimated to almost zero. This holds true for the

former Indian provinces of Gandhara (Kandahar), Kubha (Kabul), Makara

(Makran), Sakastana (Siestan/Balouchist an), Sindh, West Punjab,

Paktoonistan, East Bengal (Bangladesh) . And in the Indian provinces like

Uttar Pradesh (formerly United Provinces), Bihar, Kerala and West Bengal,

the population of Muslims is today around thirty percent and is growing

fast due to Islamic polygamy and accelerated breeding rates.

Today this process of Islamization is still on in Kashmir through the use

of terror, but in other parts of India where these tactics would be

fiercely resisted by the Hindus, the process of using the womb bomb to

increase the Muslim population is being used to the hilt by the

mushrooming of high fertility rates among Muslim who can have four wives

at one time, with women being treated like baby producing factories.

This Muslim baby boom is happening in the Terai region of Uttaranchal,

northern Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, Assam, parts of Andhra Pradesh

(Hyderabad) and Kerala. There are many districts in India which today are

Muslim majority areas. According to unofficial estimates the Muslim

population in India is today at 25 percent. Thus if we look at historic

India those parts which were under Muslim tyranny the Hindu population

was decimated to nil. And in the rest of the country, it was the fierce

Hindu resistance and counter attack that led to the Hindu character of

some Indian provinces to be salvaged in spite of the merciless Muslim

tyranny.

In the following paragraphs we shall see the fierce resistance put up to

Muslim tyranny by Hindu rulers like Man Singh Tomar, Maharana Sangram

Singh, Maharana Pratap, Harihara Raya, Krishna Deva Raya, Narsimhadeva,

Lachit Barphukan, Guru Govind Singh Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj and other

Hindu bravehearts.

It was after repeated unnerving experiences of Muslim treachery,

subterfuge, deceit; that wisdom finally dawned on some of the Hindus that

enabled some of them to launch a successful counter attack on their

Muslim tormentors.

The Maratha Hindu warrior King Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj was the

epitome of this successful Hindu counter-attack on Islam which turned the

patented Muslim techniques of deceit and subterfuge on the Muslims

themselves.

The Hindu Counterattack on Muslims

The Hindu counterattack against Islam does not have any fixed date. From

the very first battles of the Rajas of Makara (Makran) and Sindh in 638,

till the final elimination of Muslim rule by the Marathas, Jats, Rajputs,

Gurkhas and Sikhs in the 18th and early 19th centuries, this constant

Hindu-Muslim war did not stop. So we can only define the counterattack as

that period when the Hindus started turning the tactics of their Muslim

tormentors on the tormentors. The first to do that was the King of Orissa

-- Narasinghadev.

The concept of "ETERNAL HELL" is enough for any sane person

to leave Islam.

What do you people think, while Mother Theresa burns in

hell (with regenerated skin) you people will enjoy sex in

heaven..eh...
