It is not 700 years of Muslim rule, but 1500 years. In 644AD Muslim invaded Afghanistan and Punjab, occupied Multan in 664AD; Sindh in 711AD. However, even 1500 years of Muslim rule does not justify putting a sword in the belly of a pregnant Muslim women. Those who have done that are not Hindus. Hinduism does not support violence. Violence is only permitted to defend onnocent people for a good cause, to fight against evils. Because everyone , whether Hindu or Muslim or Christian, is created by Brahman, the One Creator.

The hindus know and accept that, but do the christians and muslims know and accept that? Much of the violence we have seen, and continue to see, around the world is the result of these two religions' convictions that ONLY their belief, and their belief alone, is the correct one to salvation , and all else is false and hence to be obliterated! As long as no christian and muslim is convinced of your interpretation of life and creation, you are going to continue to see religious war - christians and muslims going on the offense to impose and force their belief systems on others, and hindus, and those of other faiths and no faiths, going on the defense to defend their right to their beliefs and fighting against obliteration! What a pity!
