Dear Surath, your freedom fighters like Rana Pratap who was against Mughal emperor Akbar never fought for Hinduism nor Akbar for Islam.Rana pratap just trying to save his kingdom and Akbar pursuing his imperialism.even Shivaji though a hero for Marathas(irrespectively of Hindus or Muslims) didnt do anything good for non-marathas. They were fighting for freedom just to maintain their kingdoms. It was only power which brought them against each other even today Congress and BJP fighting for power, Musharaf and Nawaz sharif and bhuttos for power. The lust for power is never ending. You are right when you say that many Hindus were forced during medieval period to convert them to Islam, but if this policy would have been generalised then the entire Indian population would have been muslims, but the fact remains that when the new converts got aware of Islam, they were not only proud to be part of it but sacrificed their lives in the name of Islam without any second thought. On the other hand Islam was not spread just by the power of sword, if you take East asian nations like Indonesia,malaysia,philipines, thailand etc, no muslim army reached there but Islam spread like anything. Proud to be an Indian, proud to be an Muslim, and respect for all Indians.
