I just want to refer the research made by several Non Muslim Scholars like Dr. Ved Prakash Sharma etc. It concludes saying " If Muslims who ruled on India were not secular there would have been no India such a Hindu majority state like it exixts now. I therefore suggest our Indian Brothers be only Indian and do not dig the past.

Its NOT that Middle age Muslim rulers didn;t try. They tried their best, even Tipu Sultal forcibly converted 1000s of people, destroyed tons of temples.
Hindus survived because they were 2 many in number, and Indian society which is closely knit.

You are quite right, it's amazing how people get amnesia and suspends disbelief, and use the success of Hindu resistance to forced total Islamic conversion to show that because Muslims failed to bring the entire Indian population into the fold of Islam, not for lack of trying mind you, it's just that they weren't as successful as they would have liked, as an argument that there was no forced conversion. All facts are ignored and pooh poohed as Hindu propogand or even worse as victim hood.

15 crores -> pakistan 10 Crores -> Afghanistan 15 Crores -> Benagladesh 20 Crores- > India Totally 60 crores Muslims in South Asia.Which was once 100 % Hindu. It seems hindus have contributed more to the Islamic development than any one else ? So much for secularism...

It was the contribution of only Islam for a peaceful world; and I bet, no one can bring this much number of support by means of force.

I think either u r pretending ignorant or u need to correct your basics... I fully agree only weak people convert their religions... So many Weak Hindus converted to Islam means Islam has lots of weak hearted people who can convert back anytime.

Layman has a point, Sita Ram Goel was actually persecuted by none other than the Govt. of India for having the temerity to tell the truth. Where was everyones objectivity then ? Most Indians are not even aware of his writing and the few that have heard of him tend to regard him as some sort of religious nut that had nothing worthwhile to say the lest. That is the extent of the suppression of his views. What mythical objectivity are you talking about ? RSS may have used his ideas but he was never a member, he made his arguments with facts quoting Islamic sources, no one has refuted his claims, except attack him personally. I wish more Hindus had his courage and fortitude.

Oh Layman, grow up. I guess its time you go beyond those two website links. You have been repeating them so often. I suggest you keep a library to get u a crash course in elementary objectivity. Purely one-sided, single track arguments would do you no good. To be taken seriously, open your mind a bit. I suggest a good holiday. How about it.

The Author here is not aware about the history. Auranzeb how crurely had killed the son of Shri. Shivaji Maharaj, .i.e. Shri. Sambaji., he had killed him by intense toucher, first removed eyes, then cut off hands, the legs, then ears, then tounge, then head......
On the other hand when Auranjeb once was doing namaz, that time it his camp was attacked by shivaji people. They wanted to kill him. But!they let him go because hindus don't kill people in prayer.
These two incidents tell us truth and difference. Hindu by it self is secular. Islam is ..........
That is just like muslim quote says 'Saw chuhe kake billi, haj ko challi'
