The messages I have read sound like a joke. How come you allowed the muslim rulers to rule India in the first place or for that matter British. Without betraying your own country nobody can invade and rule it. So dont talk about other religion without understanding its essence. You are yourselves responsible for betrayel your own country for the lust of power.

Mr. Farukh,
India was a peace loving country and Indian rulers never fought unnecesarily. We even strictly abided our own rules of war. In India "ALL" is fair only in love and not in war. Even when Alexander fought Prithviraj, he crossed Jhelum by night and attacked when he knew it was forbidden to fight in India.
I will tell you a few examples from South India to explain how peace loving Indians were.
Few important Martial art used during war are techniques in South India are 1) Bow & Arrow, 2) Staves, 3) Body Fight and 4) Spear & Lance. A peace loving nation, as India has been historically, these idle weapons of martial arts are now used for fine arts & science. (dance, musice or medicine). "Villuppattu" - story recitation technique is done with Bow & Arrow, "Silambattam" the best Staff-technique is used as fine art or dance, "Kalari" is used in dance choreographies, "Varmam" is used as medcinal technique, "Spear & Lance" are used in "Velakkaranattam". These usages did not happen recently, but very long back, when the whole world still hunting fellow human race, India was civilized enough to search for eternal peace through non-violence.
We trust is people, betrayers carry their own sin. Even if there are mroe betrayers, we would still trust. POWER OF TRUST AND FAITH ARE IMMEASURABLE.

Nobody here is talking about religion. It's about tyrannical ruler 'Aurangzeb'. You have bad ruler's in any religion. Nobody has glorified Jayachand for what he did to Prithviraj Chauhan. Be tolerant and accept the facts than accuse.

"Without betraying your own country nobody can invade and rule it."
Why do you people cry for Lebanon and Iraq then and curse Bush n America ?? Certainly they must have been betraying their own country !! Isn't it ??
Without admitting the cruelty and misdeeds of that evil vandal,you are pointing out faults in the Indians.Shame on you !! You need not give your name.It is quite evident that such a reply could come from a Muslim.
