Kashmir Information Network (KIN): A Paradise Turned into HellSounds like BS. What's the source?

I mean, what's their source?
Thats why I'm asking you guysI mean, what's their source?
Even the Rajputs and other people in NW India are descendants of Central Asian nomadic peoples, particularly the Sakas and Hunas. Does this mean they are not Indian?
Even in India, Akbar implemented so many policies of appeasement of locals. Not just secular policies, and marrying local princess, he practically gave up Islam. How much more explicit could the Indian born emperor be to indicate he desperately wants to be accepted by locals as one of their own? And if still Indians failed to absorb Mughals into local religion, whose fault is it?
King imayavaramban Nedum Cheralathan, as a representative of three southern feudal kingdoms chera/chola/pandiya with their collective army marched north!!
imaya - himalayas
varambu - boundary
an ancient chera king who was ruling chera dynasty with karur as capital which is in modern day TN fought and defeated all the 16 bigger northern kingdoms which existed at that time in the way and marked his seal/flag/emblem in Himalayas near kashmir something over an insult to the southern kings
those who consider the mughals are not indian they should give a second thought over the jatt, gujjar and yadavs. they all have central asian and mongol descent.
Because that discrimination is indian phenomenon and is rule of the society.I think this is a very important point, as long as there was discrimination in the form of jaziya and the likes, how can they be called Great Kings? But then counter question is, the Hindu Kings discriminated on the basis of caste and justified it, so why not them?
any evidence or just bullshit?Johnee,
That is a very fair link, dont you think. The fact it is if we go back in history much, you will see how Hindu's destroyed and mass murdered Buddhist!
So as per you, kumarjiva was a chinese right ?Akbar was born to a Sindhi, Paat village near the Indus. It's near the area where Indus Valley civilization flourished. So if the parentage goes, his mother was an "Indian". And as per todays rule, you are the citizen of the country you are born. So Akbar was an "Indian".
if that is the case, why do you not easily tell where he is wrong ?^^
Cmon johnee we all know Koenraad Elst on the payroll of a certain ideological organization
Akbar, since I couldn't do multiple voting, i went for Akbar. Jalal Ud-din Muhammad Akbar. the one who took secularism to new heights and is still an example for the younger generation and 'old' politicians who like doing communal politics.
The Top 5 Greatest Kings in Indian history, in my opinion:
5. Kanishka (r. 127-151 C.E.) - for creating perhaps the most diverse and internationalist state in Indian history. Kanishka himself was a Buddhist of Central Asian origin, but within the borders of his empire virtually every philosophy and religion of the known world flourished, including Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, and Hellenism. His empire stretched from North India to Persia and Central Asia, being one of the only Indian kings to rule such a territory; as a consequence the Kushanas directly controlled the lucrative Silk Road trade between East and West and reaped immense profits. The arts flourished and wealth was in abundance.
4. Chandragupta II Vikramaditya (r. 375-415 C.E.) - for restoring the imperial splendor of Magadha and ushering in India's Golden Age. His campaigns against the Sakas, Hunas, and Kambojas, as well as his marital alliances with other Indian powers like the Vakatakas, extended Gupta power and influence over much of the subcontinent. He also patronised the arts and sciences, paving the way for India's greatest thinkers and scholars like Aryabhata; the highly prestigious centres of learning at Nalanda, Varanasi, Takshasila, and others drew migrants and pilgrims from all over the world. It also during this time that extensive cultural and commercial links began to be established with Southeast Asia, eventually leading to the rise of Indianised kingdoms in that region.
3.Shahanshah Jalaluddin Muhammad Akbar (r. 1542-1605) - for pioneering modern liberal secularism and universal tolerance in an age that badly needed it. The Ibadat Khana, or house of worship, hosted a wide diversity of philosophers and scholars from all religions, where they debated various matters regarding life and universe before the emperor. The abolition of the jizya and other discriminatory taxes and a policy of equality towards all regardless of belief allowed the empire to prosper. India's cultural achievements, especially in architecture, reached their zenith. The empire was also incredibly wealthy; it was said that Akbar's annual revenue in 1600 exceeded in value Britain's entire treasury in 1800.
2. Chandragupta Maurya (r. 320-298 B.C.E.) - for uniting Bharatvarsha into a single entity for the first time, and becoming an inspiration for countless Indians of the past, present, and future. With the assistance of Chanakya, perhaps the greatest statesman to be born in this part of the world, he first overthrew the corrupt Nanda dynasty of Pataliputra, reinstated a new dynasty in his name, and went on to unite the various peoples of India. His career culminated with the conquest of Afghanistan and defeat of Seleucus Nicator, one of Alexander's own generals.
1. Samraat Asoka Maurya the Great (r. 274-232 B.C.E.)
