Pl read some more history. The general policy of most of the rulers during the 700 years of Muslim occupation of India was to systematically replace the fabric of Hindu society and culture with a Muslim culture. They tried to destroy Indian religions, language and places of knowledge (universities e.g Nalanda and Taxshila were totally destroyed by Muslims). They destroyed and desecrated places of thousands of temples including Somnath, Mathura, Benaras, Ayodhaya, Kannauj, Thaneswar and in other places. There was wholesale slaughter of the monks and priests and innocent Hindus with the aim to wipe out the intellectual bedrock of the people they overran.
The Muslims could not subjugate India with ease and were never able to rule it entirely. There was a valiant and ceaseless struggle for independence by Hindus to deliver India from Muslim tyranny. The Rajputs, Jats, Marathas and Sikhs led this struggle in North India. In the South this struggle was embodied in the Vijayanagar Empire. This struggle culminated when the Marathas ended the Muslim domination of India.

Raj Thakre is not against any religion. He is against the unchecked exhodus of people from UP and Bihar into Mumbai. the infrastructure in Mumbai cannot take the load of any more migrants (be they from any part of the country or of any religion).
You are just trying to camoflage the real threat of religius fundamentalism by diverting the topics to some irrelevant subjects.

Hate only breeds hate. Yesterday, Shiv Sena was opposing South Indians today they are opposing North Indians. Not to mention permanent hatred towards Muslims and Christians.

aoneall, You will learn only when you people get slaughtered or are forced to convert by the fanatic muslims.
Btw why there are still Dalits in UP where the muslims ruled for nearly 600 years? If the muslim kings were so generous or the dalits were treated as equals by the muslims they would have converted to Islam at that time itself.

What is the wrong with conversion? Dr. Ambedkar got converted. Buddhism was his choice. It could have been Islam also.

No, he would not have converted to Islam or Christianity as he was aware that it would be more harmful to the natives. And of course the ideals of Buddhism are much more refined than the principles of any other religion in the world (I am not a Buddhist).
