Pakistan has exhausted the military option and the valiant Muslim nation cannot repeat the march of Islam to India like their predecessors did. Excesses committed by the Muslim conquerors have been aptly described by Francois Gautier (Rewriting Indian History), %uFFFDLet it be said right away: the massacres perpetrated by Muslims in India are unparalleled in history, bigger than the holocaust of the Jews by the Nazis; or the massacre of the Armenians by the Turks; more extensive even than the slaughter of the South American native populations by the invading Spanish and Portuguese. What we witness in India today -- the series of bomb blasts, killing of scores of innocent people, targeting of holy places --- are directly related to the legacy of the colossal killings of Indians by the Muslim invaders. What was done by hordes of Turk, Afghan and Persian horsemen is now being attempted by the jihadis trained by ISI, DGFI and the tanzeem leaders through their fidayeen dastas (suicide squads) and jihadi vanguards. They are progressively trying to subvert certain weaklings among Indian Muslims. This is the very war that people like Lt General Hamid Nawaz Khan have in mind when they shout war cries against India. Such ghostly discoveries keep the blood flow steady in a country which is yet to attain nationhood. But the fact remains that the so-called 5,000 year-old Nation on the Indus is no nation at all.

Formerly a feudatory of Chalukya, Dantidurga was the founder of Rastrakuta dynasty, a strong, aggresive and militant supporter of Brahmanism. Cave XV at Ellora called Dasavtara, which has a long undated inscription of Dantidurga carved on its entrance, was originally a Buddhist Vihara, which was converted to Brrahmanic Temple, by chiseling out Buddhist images.

The persecution of Buddhists was started by the Brahmins long time back. The authority of Brahmins over the masses was tremendous. Masses following Buddhist tenets was a great danger to Brahmin supremacy. They had tried to sabotage Buddhist sangha and Asoka had to drive away sixty thousands of fake bhikus. Real persecution of Buddhists had started at the time of Pushyamitra Shunga, who burnt monasteries and killed many monks.
Persecution by Mihirgula was so horrible, that he was declared by Brahmins to be an avatar of "Kalanki", the tenth avatar of Vishnu, which now they say is yet to come. He built big temples for the benefit of Brahmins and wiped out all Buddhist monasteries.
All this had happened before the Brahmins brought in the Rajputs. But there was some life left in Buddhism, the religion of masses. This was wiped out during the Rajput period. this period was the "Dark Age" of India. Mentioning about this period, Swami Dharmateertha rightly observes:
"But so long as India had at least a glimmer of national life and freedom, she made incessant efforts to assert her self-respect and thwart Brahman tyranny and it was only when the country ultimately fell a victim into the hands of foreigners the Buddhism was crushed to death and Brahmanism spread its fangs over the prostrate people.
