This is a quick chronicle of all those Hindu bravehearts who for over 550 years, fought Islamization and paid with their lives to keep the Hindu religious and cultural identity alive.

    The so called Secularists keep arguing that muslim rulers were tolerant and the infected educational system produce kids who consider these idol breakers as real heroes and forget the unsung ones, Pathetic indeed!

    You forgot to mention Battle of Rajasthan fought by Bappa Rawal and other Hindu kings jointly wherein it was said that No place under the sun could be found for the muslims to take refuge making them return to sindh. Also add marathas, Jats, Dogras, Sikhs, Ahoms etc struggle in it

    Two hundred years of heroic resistance by Hindu shahis Of Kabul who sacrificed their entire clan in their fight against the Central Asian invaders is forgotten chapter of Indian history which must be highlighted to burst the myth of easy Hindu surrender to the invaders.
    Memorials must erected to the Kings such as Jaypal and Trilochanpal of this dynasty who paid with their lives to stem the tide of the barbarians.

    One more fact highlighted by Sita Ram Goel was that there was never a continuous Islamic rule over India except under Akbar and Aurangazeb.
    There was always Hindu resistance and thats why Hindus/Hinduism survived not because of the ‘inclusive’ spirit of Islamic rulers as suggested by ’eminent’ Historians.When Islamic rulers’ court historians proudly say that countless Hindu skulls are being collected by their rulers and iconoclasm was being carried out,what kind of a devious mind argues on the contrary?
    This sickness has to be called Indian secularism.

    • Stop Islam & Communism says:

      You know the Marxists fool the ignorant Hindus by asking ” tell us how the Muslim rule was cruel and violent, when Majority Hindus still survive, had the Muslims been intolerant We all would have been Muslims by now”

    Fantastic work team.
    Somethings that I remembered while reading the PPT was:
    1. Vijayanagara Kings defended Southern India for 400 years. They wiped out Sulanate of Madhurai. Etc…
    2. Rastrakutas drove out arabs from Gujarat.
