Was not the war against the invading moguls or Greek the war for independence of India..why only the colonial powers considered the war for independence? India has more history than Britishers and Gandhis. Please do not disrespect them by call this first war for independence

That is because Chauhan was fighting invaders and not the conquerers. While fighting the British, we had already been conquered by them and were fighting to be freed of their rule.
