The end of Muslim rule in India was as spasmodic as its beginning. It took five hundred years for its establishment (712-1206) and one hundred and fifty years for its decline and fall (1707-1857). The benchmarks of its establishment are C.E. 712 when Muhammad bin Qasim invaded Sind, 1000 when Mahmud of Ghazni embarked upon a series of expeditions against Hindustan, 1192-1206 when Prithviraj Chauhan lost to Muhammad Ghauri and Qutbuddin Aibak set up the Turki Sultanate at Delhi, and 1296 when Alauddin Khalji pushed into the Deccan. The stages of its downfall are 1707 when Aurangzeb died, 1739 when a trembling Mughal Emperor stood as a suppliant before the Persian invader Nadir Shah, 1803 when Delhi was captured by the British, and 1858 when the last Mughal ruler was sent to Rangoon as a prisoner of the %uFFFDRaj%uFFFD.
For five centuries-thirteenth to seventeenth-however, most parts of India were under Muslim rule, though with varying degrees of effectiveness in different regions of the country. But at no single point of time was the whole country ruled exclusively by the Muslims. On the other hand the five hundred year long Muslim rule did not fail to influence Indian political and cultural life in all its facets. Muslim rule apart, Muslim contact with India can

Whether it is DMK or DK or ADMK or Congress, everyone will talk about the Hindu god. Can they talk about the existence of 'Allah' or 'Christe'?
Especially now the case on RAM, When they ask for the proof of existence of RAM, does it means, they already have proof of other Hindu gods existence or other non-hindu god's existence.
As per the policy of Dravidans, no god slogan, it should be across all the gods and not only for lord 'Ram' or lord 'siva'.
Only in india the political agitators will do this kind of nonsence.
Supreme court of india has to ban the agitators to take part in any public events irrespective of parties/groups they belongs to.
People of india, don't unnecessarily focus on these extremists bulshit things. Get rid of these people.
RE:Why always on HInduism?

rama was targeted by the dravidian movement because he was the god of the landed classes and the brahmins. rama was also targeted because he slayed a shudra who was attempting to study. rama was targeted to make the people shed the concept of caste which was imprinted in their psyche. the people of tamilnadu do not worship rama. rama temples as well as the brahmin way of life flourish in tamilnadu without any hindrance. the vandalising of rama was used by the rationalist movement because rama was not a god of the commoners but a god of the elites. the same elites were resisting the dravidian movements attempts to eradicate the caste system.
Karunanidhi remarks has taken everybody by surprise. Especially, south India where every fourth person is either Ram or Krishna or both, remark of Karunanidhi shows that he has not learnt aging. Lot has been sent about Lord Rama and I as a Hindu have no hesitation that he is omni present. But in the all this hullabaloo, Congress is waiting for its turn patiently as the party has to clean its image before Dusshera on one hand to remain in hindi heartland and on the other hand, to run its present UPA, it also requires the support of DMK.
Manmohan Singh had been operated so he has the option to stay away from Dusshera. Sonia Gandhi may go to hospital a day prior to dusshera with a complaint of uneasyness and sudden faintings. How hard these shrewed politicians may try, but replacing Ram is not possible for any of these. Yes, Setusamundaram project should immediately be shelved and the setu should be declared a place of religious importance and an important religious point which every Hindu should visit once in life time other than the four Dhams.
It doesn't matter to me whether Ram was born 10 years before Christ or 1000 years, for me there is no religious figure which matches his persona and simplicity. Should I tell how respectfully, he followed his father's order to go in exile for 14-years and denounced all wordly pleasures. Had, he wanted he would had acted like any other normal son. The life and the pain Sitaji underwent is an example which we cannot ev
RE:Congress on Ramset

The Problem is not Ram The CPM could have brought down Congress Government with Nuclear Issue. Congress diverted this by filing affidavit for Ram Sethu Project. It is simple when major development decisions such as Nuclear deal hits roadblock due to oppoition then create a religious problem. In India Sethu has more media coverage than Nuclear deal. Prakash Karat was getting a lot of media attention which could increase their popularity. Since Congress wanted to pass Nuclear deal and did not want CPMs popularity to increase the best decision was to divert media attention to religion. The other reason is DMK wants to increase cargo traffic to eastern ports of Tamil Nadu which has investments in vicinity by Kalanidhi family. Religion is a great tool to fool the people of India. Behind closed doors Advani has met Karunanidhi. Everything is eyewash. The best way to divert attention is create rift between hindus and muslims which people of india do as per the grand plans of ther masters- the politicians
Hi Mani maran, Nice to see that you are getting great pleasure in abusing Hinduism and Ramayana. In one of your comments, I read, you saying Ram never existed. Well, you don%u2019t know that do you? No one in India has to defend Ram. He has been there in the minds of all the Hindus for a long time. Sorry to disappoint you pal, but he is here to stay in our minds. The only thing you have managed so far is to paint a bad picture about people from south. You make it look that Ram was a king from the north who fought against the people in the south. Is it Colonial education or conversion that makes you think like this? I can understand your frustration in having to see millions of people still respecting Ram all over India even after your futile efforts to stop it. So, are you loosing sleep over this? But I should admit, you managed to find some friends from northern states of India who think that Ram is their property. Our British rulers will be really happy to see us fighting like this. I guess you are worshipping karunanidhi for his remarks against Ram. Even though I hate Jayalalitha, the only good thing she did was drag his a** out in the middle of the night and put him in jail. God, didn't I enjoy watching that on the TV? And by the way things are shaping up, he doesn't seem to have learnt his lesson. May be a couple of years in jail will sort him out. Oh by the way, if I have offended you by speaking against your fatherly figure Karunidhi, I want you to know that I enjoyed
The author says correctly that we had a different tradition of recording events and writing history. That is why the acheivements of non hindus like Emperor Asoke was not recorded by us. Till 1837, nobody knew who Asoke was; finally an official of Calcutta mint, James Princep, who was also a philologist dug out Asoke's history. Same is the case with the acheivents of Southt Indians. Puran was written by Brahmins of north India and it does not mention any acheivments of the southerners. It may be noted that more than 3100 years ago, gifts that Queen Sheba carried with her when she visited King Solomon, contained items of Indian origin and the names of these as available in the Old Testament are in Dravidian language because it was exported from South. The first Indian colony in South East Asia was establshed in Vietnam by a Tamilian Brahmin, Kaudinya by name, nearly 2000 years ago and Puran is silent on this. This surely corroborates the author's statement that we followed a different different system and tradition of writing history.

Which Sankaracharya? The original one??? If yes, one thing I must say that the Advaita concept says everything is God and this one cannot find in Islam. It is not similar to the monotheistic concept of Islam.
If Kanchi Sankaracharya's views u r talking about I have no comments on that
These politicians as Advani are still living in the politics of Old India despite all their rhetoric of New India . It would be a sad day for all indians if the BJP succeeds in its agenda to stall growth in India by revisiting the India of 10.000 years ago .If th BJP scheme is allowed to succeed by these deceitful politicians , then South India may have to re consider its union with the North . Everything has its perimeters .India should not push its button to far ! We will then ALL be losers . Today we are living in the new millennium .Not in 20.000 years BC Ramayana .
Lets all UNITE as ONE and not fall prey to communal religious fanatism.
India is a disgrace ! Has India not learnt its lesson ? Have we not had enough of crushing poverty the last thousand of years ? Has this not created an exodus of indians out of India ?
Why are politicians as Advani allowed to get away with his combative,confrontational ,communal religious political agenda to stall growth with his hype and myth on the Ramayana ? India is a secular country .Ram Sethu is not a temple nor a monument . Its a geological evolvement . Why are these political buffons living in the India of the past with their hidden agenda of political opportunism ?
What India needs today is economic growth,food over the table,hand phones,a car and the basic necessities , the dream of every other indian. Isn`t it time for Indians to walk tall regaining our lost its pride..but we see communal forces at work . Why are Indian politicians creating all this political unstability .Why all this volatility and uncertainty ? Is there real unity in diversity in India or unity in duplicity ?
Has the BJP done not done enough damage to the Babri mosque ? Has the Gujurat killings which was orchestrated by the BJP all been forgotton ? And now they are pushing their luck in stalling growth to Tamil Nadu and India . Has it been not the South that is driving the Indian economy ? Where would India be today if its not for the IT ?

Brother you seem to have got carried away! There are Hindus in political parties other than the BJP! So don't think that Ram Sethu is sentimental issue for Hindutvavadi Hindus. It is for every one. This Issue of saving fuel for ships is a big sham. I want to make a bridge through your temple church and mosque polit-bureau so I can save fuel- how do you feel now? So do the Hindus. Ram sethu has an emotional attachment for Hindus all over the world that includes Hindus in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Mauritius etc. etc.
And how come now your Narmada bachao Medha Patkar doesn't utter a word?
It's your convenience when you want to hurt our sentiments and when you want to save the planet and the ecology!
So save your own fuel and take some rest, or go to sleep! But Shut up for Ram's sake
