Andrew Bostom has another excellent piece in the American Thinker:
The phenomenon of modern Islamic terrorism has forged an inchoate strategic alliance between the Israeli and Indian governments, while heightening the awareness of a common threat—the institution of jihad—among the civilian populations of these nations.Rarely understood, let alone acknowledged, however, is the history of brutal jihad conquest, Muslim colonization, and the imposition of dhimmitude shared by the Jews of historical Palestine, and the Hindus of the Indian subcontinent. Moreover, both peoples and nations also have in common, a subsequent, albeit much briefer British colonial legacy, which despite its own abuses, abrogated the system of dhimmitude (permanently for Israel and India, if not, sadly, for their contemporary Muslim neighboring states), and created the nascent institutions upon which thriving democratic societies have been constructed. Sir Jadunath Sarkar (d. 1958), the preeminent historian of Mughal India, wrote with admiration in 1950 of what the Jews of Palestine had accomplished once liberated from the yoke of dhimmitude. The implication was clear that he harbored similar hopes for his own people.
Palestine, the holy land of the Jews, Christians and Islamites, had been turned into a desert haunted by ignorant poor diseased vermin rather than by human beings, as the result of six centuries of Muslim rule. (See Kinglake's graphic description). Today Jewish rule has made this desert bloom into a garden, miles of sandy waste have been turned into smiling orchards of orange and citron, the chemical resources of the Dead Sea are being extracted and sold, and all the amenities of the modern civilised life have been made available in this little Oriental country. Wise Arabs are eager to go there from the countries ruled by the Shariat. This is the lesson for the living history.
Earlier, I reviewed at length the legacy of Muslim jihad conquest and imposition of the Shari’a in historical Palestine. The current essay provides a schematic overview of the same phenomena in India, focusing on the major periods of Muslim conquest, colonization, and rule.
A Millennium of Jihad and Dhimmitude on the Indian Subcontinent
The 570 year period between the initial Arab Muslim razzias (ordered by Caliph Umar) to pillage Thana (on the West Indian coast near Maharashtra) in 636-637 C.E., and the establishment of the Delhi Sultanate (under Qutub-ud-din Aibak, a Turkish slave soldier), can be divided into four major epochs: (I) the conflict between the Arab invaders and the (primarily) Hindu resisters on the Western coast of India from 636-713 C.E.; (II) the Arab and Turkish Muslim onslaughts against the kingdom of Hindu Afghanistan during 636-870 C.E.; (III) repeated Turkish efforts to subdue the Punjab from 870 C.E. to 1030 C.E. C.E. highlighted by the devastating campaigns of Mahmud of Ghazni (from 1000- 1030 C.E.); and finally (IV) Muhammad Ghauri’s conquest of northwestern India and the Gangetic valley between 1175 and 1206 C.E.
This summary chronology necessarily overlooks the very determined and successful resistance that was offered by the Hindus to both the Arab (in particular) and Turkish invaders, for almost four centuries. For example, despite the rapidity of Mahmud of Ghazni’s conquests—spurred by shock-tactics and the religious zealotry of Islamic jihad—his successors, for almost 150 years, could not extend their domain beyond the Punjab frontiers. Even after the establishment of the Delhi Sultanate (1206-1526), and the later Mughal Empire (1526-1707), Muslim rulers failed to Islamize large swaths of Indian territory, and most of the populace...
Read it all.
How can this kind of material be circulated where it most needs to be -- paradoxically, in India itself?
And what newspapers for Indian-Americans or their counterparts in Great Britain will reprint this -- or are their editors too afraid of bringing up the historical record, for fear of offending Muslims who, more in America than in Great Britian, may work with Americans of Hindu descent (especially in the computer industry, or Indian food business), and the latter may wish never to bring any of this up for fear of offending Muslims from the subcontinent -- those whose whose ancestors were Hindus but forcibly converted or "voluntarily" did so because of the intolerable conditions in which Hindus had to live under Musli rule.
This wish not to discuss the real history of India, which so many Hindus exhibit, is dangerous and false. They know it, or much of it. Why so solicitous of Muslims -- especially since, if Muslim power inexorably increases in Great Britain and the United States, Hindus, or those who are of Hindu descent, will be among the greatest victims. They have, therefore, a stake in educating both their own children, and Infidels.
I should add that the word "Hindu" is not broad enough. The religion of Sikhism, though it began far later, in the 17th century, suffered in the same way from the Muslims. And Sikhs, too, have a stake in learning how Sikhs were treated, not here and there, not intermittently, but consistently, by Muslim rulers and believers. Why should anyone think the doctrines of Islam, or the attitudes they foster in Believers, have changed? They have not. If some Muslims in India, and in the West, do not exhibit open hostility, that may reflect nothing more than the accommodation necessary with what, for now, is the superior position and power of non-Muslims.
But just you wait.
I learnt about Mughul extermination of sikhs in India from the below site. It shows all the methods they used including sawing people in half and cutting off heads and sticking them on poles.

Wow.
I just finished reading the full ext of the article.
An excellent dissertation. Recommended read.
I shudder to think of all the conquered lands. Indonesia was once exclusively Hindu. Its muslim majority today. So also Malaysia.
You have gauged the situation in India rightly Hugh....
Even though i've spent most of my life in Britain. I seem to know more about Indian History than my cousins who live in India. What can u expect when Union Govt. is trying to "detoxify" the History books my editing out the "communal" content. What can u expect when books by ppl Romilla Thapar who insist that Hindu's themselves destroyed the grand temple at Somnath r used for reference. The communists seem to b irked everytime a book criticising Islamic India is published. Nowhere in NCERT Textbooks did I find reference to the beheading of Guru Gobind Singh the Sikh religious head by Aurangzeb or destruction of over 10000. The thing that hurts most is that they've completely ingnored mentioning people who stood up against Islam. Marathas (my people :) ) who sacrificed 1.8 million men over a period of 100 yrs including 100000 on a single day at Panipat in fight against Islamisation of India are reduced to a mere footnote....
Volleti dont worry India is not the only country with Hindu majority.
Nepal,Fiji,Trinidad,Guyana,Suriname,Mauritius are also Hindu majority countries.... :)
Vikrant_Camberleykar suggests Indian textbooks are dhimmitudinally redacted. I would think the Hindu nationalists would very noisily object to this.
He elsewhere comments:
Nepal,Fiji,Trinidad,Guyana,Suriname,Mauritius are also Hindu majority countries.... :).
In the case of Fiji, the native Polynesians rose up and denied the now-majority immigrant population of Hindus their political rights (and the Hindus were in fact planning on depriving the Fijians of their traditional rights). This is a messy leftover of British colonialism, where they imported cheap Indian labor.
We need as many allies as possible, infact all non moslems are our allies.
Those of us who are of Indian decent have a non PC understanding of our common foe, islam.

The Indians are a wealthy community wherever they go.
Israel is indeed an important friend and India's friendship with Israel need not be at the cost of Arab world.
What many people do not know is that Israel was the only nation that supplied
weapons in an emergency in 1999 to India when Pakistan had invaded Kargil heights. In fact, in some cases, those weapons were meant for Israel's own deployment and had to be diverted. It is little surprise that Indian military has a high regard for Israel's military.
Before 1990, India's voting record in UN rivaled some
of Israel's worst enemies. India supported all Arab causes from Nasser to Arafat in false hope that it will neautralize Arab support for Pakistan. Belatedly, India has started abstaining from controversial votes. And it is a start. Arabs need to understand that if they continue to blindly prefer Pakistan over India (despite India's support of Arab issues in the past), then they are effectively closing the door on India. Traffic cannot be one way. Any desire by Israel to form closer military or technological ties should be reciprocated warmly.
Despite small population, Israel is one the most
technologically advanced nation. As the spectacular Indian economic
growth continues, it will reduce high incidence of
poverty and illiteracy. It will continue to raise India's stature. Both countries have been victims of
Islamic extermist terrorism in the 90's on a daily basis and it is natural for them to empathise with each other. Closer trade, technological and military ties should be welcomed.

The Reason the Muslims never succeeded in India is because of the great Rajput warriors, who were the Vanguard of Hindu India in the face of the Islamic onslaught.
Even to this day we are brought up by our parents constantly reminded of the sacrifices that were given so that the muslims could not convert us. A Rajput is always sworn to fight against Islam at the first opprotunity.
There is no such thing as a Muslim Rajput, as some muslims claim. Its an oxymoron, since the whole concept of a Rajput is to defend Hinduism and all other faith groups in India from Islam (Hindus, Zorastrians, Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Jains etc etc.). Rajputs always value freedom and honor above all else. Never would we accept an Arab as our overlord.
Even with the successive waves of muslim invaders, the kingdom of Mewar never fell and was never conquered even by the Mughal Empire. On June 21st 1576, Akbar the Mughal Muslim king sent 200,000 troops with cannons, cavalry and elephants to go and crush the 22,000 Rajputs who were led by Maharana (Emperor) Pratap.
At the end of the battle of Haldighati, only 8,000 Rajputs survived and carried their families to safety in the mountains from where they carried on the resistance against Islam, but we were never conquered. After two generations the Mughal Empire fell, and we had the last laugh. Any Rajputs who worked for the Mughals as mercenaries were simply traitors and forgotten as simple footnoes in the pages of History. Instead, Maharana Pratap is a God to the Rajputs who led us to that glorious victory and everlasting freedom for our existence, not often seen in the history of mankind.

The following article appeared on today's BBC website.
Would appreciate someone knowledgeable in Indian history commenting on it.
it seems to be another attempt to vilify Hinduism in deference to Islam.
Q&A: The Ayodhya dispute
The Babri Mosque was torn down by a Hindu zealots in 1992
The religious dispute over Ayodhya in northern India has been a source of tension between Hindus and the country's Muslim minority for nearly two decades.
The BBC answers key questions about the history of the site and the dispute.
Why is the site disputed?
Many believe that Ayodhya, in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, is the birthplace of one of the most revered deities in Hinduism, Lord Rama.
Ayodhya is mentioned in several Hindu scriptures and has been a place of holy pilgrimage for centuries.
Why is the dispute over Ayodhya so dangerous?
Militant Hindus demolished the 16th-century Babri mosque in 1992, vowing to replace it with a Hindu temple to Rama.
They say they were justified in destroying the mosque because there used to be a Hindu temple marking Rama's birthplace on that spot before.
The mosque was torn down by supporters of the hardline Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP or World Hindu Council), the Shiv Sena party and then-opposition Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The destruction prompted one of India's worst bouts of nationwide religious rioting between Hindus and the country's Muslim minority, which left 2,000 people dead. ......

This is typical of the perverse logic of the Bedouin Broadcasting Corporation and also the Guardian/Independent and all those other
PC/liberal media orgs.
Do you remember the program on "the islamic history of europe" presented by that dimwit ragae omar ?
there was two things I remember.
The first was when he was recounting the story of a mosque that was converted into a church
the second was when he so emotionally narated how the moors were expelled from Spain.
lets look at the logic here.
The mosque was originally a church, it was converted by force into a mosque.
Secondly the moors came as invaders and were eventually thrown out by the Spaniards.
It is like a gang of house invaders trying to claim the moral highground afeter they are thrown out of a house they
invaded, murdererd the husband, raped the wife & daughters and enslaved them and looted anything of value.
We are constantly shown these exotic travel shows on turkey, how many programs mention that the famous mosque in istanbul was
originally Hagah Sophia ?
The Ayodhya temple issue is the same.
Buddhism in India was destroyed by the moslems.hinduism suffered greatly but survived as did Sikhism, infact the famous Golden Temple
In Amritsar was breifly taken ober by a moslem warlord and used as a stable for his horses.
the pattern here is clear.
Conquer > Subdue > Erase > Claim first rights/victimhood.
I was watching a documentary just last night on the Discovery History channel called "islam"
apparantly islam "aquired" north africa,Byzantium, Persia,India (including afghanistan) and southern europe.
"Aquired" how ? With armed force, but thats not PC is it ?
The fact is that islam is alien to all but that desert sewer KSA.
So everyone else is free to expell it.
I have copied and pasted an earlier posting below.I tend to do it to stories that involve India, because these stories attract people of Indian descent.
I will ask this question again so please Mr Spencer or Hugh or anyone on the JW team please answer.
HOW MUCH HAVE VISITORS TO THIS SITE INCREASED SINCE THE BILLBOARD PROJECT ?
AND ALSO HOW MANY COPIES OF "THE MYTH OF ISLAMIC TOLERENCE" HAVE BEEN SOLD ?
Also here is a link to the indian "Security Research Review"

THANK YOU Apostate.
The little i have read on the horror of Muslim Invasion of India is so painful and vast it is difficult to come to grips with.
it seems tens of Millions of Hindus were slaughtered in the most brutal manner imaginable by the Muslim invaders.
i wondered why Buddhism had not taken a greater hold in India which after all was its own birthplace, yet was so widely spread in Thailand and south east Asia and Sri lanka.
Perhaps your answer suggests that the passiveness of Buddhism was no match for Islam's sheer aggression.
Only an aggressive religion would be able to resist.Had Ghandi fought to liberate India from Nazism, is it not obvious that he would have been speedily killed?
What i find absolutely disheartening is the sheer ignorance in the west and it appears even amongst educated Indians of the ongoing genocide.
Today a vast number of Non muslims around the world seek to murder the memory of the outrages of Islam so as to pacify muslims and out of a sense of hatred for their own religion and civilisation.
Even when shown the truth they have no sympathy and do not empathise with the millions of victims of Muslim imperialism.
Allah is a god of murder, deception and war.
the Christian God is a god of peace and respect.
How can a god like this defend against the god of Islam?
