Very funny to see some posters comparing afghanistan to ghaznavi,ghori situation.Lolz.We had no political unity,no mass national consciousness,were ruled by petty fuedal clans with no mass connect.Technology wise we neither had good horses,nor gunpowder against babur,nor anything to combat horse archers.Are you fools really comparing that to the juggernaut that is the modern indian republic?We have a huge middle class that is nationalistic ,military industry,money,massive resources,nukes and one of the largest and deadliest militaries on the planet .We can totally shatter pakistan and afghanistan if we want to in a total war.
Just to put things into perspective to some people who still dont understand,the size of modern india is 3/4th the size of the entire roman empire at its peak.We are a continent as well as a nation,and are still far far away from tapping our full potential.
