An interesting question to ask would be, who really won in the end? The invaders who came, conquered and killed, they may be remembered in dead academic interactions but not in any community memory, Or the king who may have lost , the dynasty that may have fallen but whose deeds and whose culture is still celebrated by the the people whom the ruled over under dharma centuries ago. Who really won, the living memory of militarily defeated or the caged invader in dead academic pages?
Why sir, the invaders are remembered and revered quite often in this country even after the Partition. This is an infinite war. The invaders haven’t gone anywhere. They’re right here amongst us. The more interesting question to ask in my opinion would not be who won ultimately because it is too early to say. We must ask if we are willing to fight today, tomorrow and the day after and win every time. Every single time
Read this after visiting Belur and Hoysala temples today. The wealth they created remains and stands tall even after 900 years. No wonder Kings like them continue to live on. Your piece is so rich and informative. Thank you for putting out such a detailed narrative, it felt like seeing the past unfold.

We don’t have the luxury of doing that my friend!

Islam has only brought bloodshed,where ever it has set its foot.
Death and destruction are it’s hand maiden.
