In ‘The Loss of Hindustan’, Manan Ahmed Asif writes about how colonial history combined hundreds of years into one single era — linking Arab kings of Sindh to sultans of Delhi.
Even as India, Pakistan have seemed on the edge of war, their intelligence services have often sought to find space to de-escalate tensions and reduce risks for the two countries.
Speaking at 2nd Investor Connect, CM Vishnu Deo Sai says 'we have been able to attract a lot of investors.' The focus of the event was the steel sector.
Not only did S-400 record its longest hit during India-Pakistan 88-hour conflict, ability of the system to shoot and scoot in a short time, which allows it to evade enemy fire, was also proved.
It is a brilliant, reasonably priced, and mostly homemade aircraft with a stellar safety record; only two crashes in 24 years since its first flight. But its crash is a moment of introspection.
The British ruled for what 400 years and did so to help India develop? Wrong. It did to fill its coffers. If not then let it own up to all its misdeeds and all the treasures it took away. Will you? The parting shot was of course the partition of India into Pakistan and India along religious lines, a faultline that the two nations have not as yet been able to overcome.
Good article , religion is being taken as the standard as the divison of history by colonialist as a policy of divide and rule or to look down upon the Asian culture , but there is no denying that shariya was imposed and court culture was persianised …patronage of Hindus was snatched away , qazi and nawab became new upper castes ( Samantas ) from Delhi to south ..this definately a distinction fromearky mediaeval india to mediaeval at least in sense of culture and or to say ideal social order came to defined on the lines of ummha unlike earlier times where dharma was the standard ..it obviously made indigenous population inferior atleast at core areas or metropolitan areas nodoubt purdah system came into being , so mant temples and maths being destroyed , Indic philosophical tradition recieved a setback though of course things did not happen in linear fashion temporal and regional dimension were present ..one has to accept that frequency and quantum of sanskritik tradition and regional language tradition and institution attached to it become diminsed they were not par with Persian and Arabic patronage .which was absolutely a colonialist and exploitative in nature .it was only by orientalist and subsequently through swadeshi movement , that Indic tradition was revived
Im so happy the bristish came and destroyed the mughals. If not I might still be paying jizya, what a weird world that would be.
And I am even happier just because Britishers came and created 1000’s of open drains which led to pandemics, albeit Indians were using toilets and closed drains since the early Harrapan period. They looted 46 trillion USD from India and used it for cleaning the thames and for the Industrial revolution instead of using it for the welfare of India. They created the Ryotwari system and made the Zamindari system insane, due to such an issue, famines became a popular annual ritual in the subcontinent. They made the fertile land of India sterile by making it mandatory for 10% of the farmers in the Buttish Raj to grow Indigo. Britishers are even worse than the Nazis as they kept killing millions of innocent non-europeans (non-christians) with no shame, Germany accepts it’s dark past, however British hide their dark past.
British rule was definetely a lesser evil than muslim rule. Anybody who thinks otherwise, meet me in combat

So what about the time when Islam as a religion did not exist?
Then India did have purely hindu kings.
