Why you could not face the truth? Why report for abuse?
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 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.

Do you have any knowledge of linguistics? Hindi belongs to the family of Indo-European languages (not Indo-Arab)!

Even English language now contains a lot of Hindi words. Languages develop over a period of time and adopt words from other languages also. Nothing great about that.

The language developed out of the structure of the dialect called Khariboli, interspersed with the vocabulary of Persian and Arabic during the period of Mogul rule (15th-18th centuries AD).

I do not need any character certificate for the Islamic invaders. It was the ancestors of people like you who suffered at their hands. If you want to treat that an honour to your ancestors, I have no objection.
We cannot correct historic wrongs but we should be willing to accept the truth also.

That was not the case. Every muslim ruler knew that by alienating about 92% of the population (the muslim population at that time was about 8% only) they could not rule the country.
Aslo once having established they were only interested in massing wealth, filling up their harems with beautiful women, building monuments, etc. They neither cared for the muslims nor care for converting any one to their religion.
