Are you intentionally trying to flamebait? I am beginning to think you are just trolling.

WhamBam

I am surprised why he has not been banished yet.

He is a Maderessa rat, just spreading his idiotic troll here. Just showing his upbringing and education.

Guys,

Help me out here. Is this historically accurate?

Ray, Lemontree, Archer, or Tronic would be in a better position to answer than me. But some of the facts that this poster has quoted are clearly designed to disparage some of the Indian historical figures and this last post of this poster is clearly a flame baiting post, no question about it.

Before deciding whether this guy is a troll or not, I need to know if this actually happened. Did the idiot cut off the guy's wanker and stomp on his balls? I know you feel this is a bit harsh but if this did happened, what's the difference between this and writing down an Aztec King drinking blood from his brother's skull?

WhamBam

Most of the troll he is spreading is not part of any history except may be what is taught in his Maderessa!

He is talking about 500 Million people at the battle! What was India's population 10 centuries back? It was not even 400 million at the independence in 1947.

And the great obsession with penis and rape and coitus. He is just here to troll, nothing else.

Blademaster

Why, I was starting to think that the WAB has been taken over by your countrymen.

No more than the USians have to say about the Russians.

Officer of Engineers

No, it's the 1RTR invasion.

Officer of Engineers

I've reviewed his post and he is consistently out of whack to be historically accurate. He's gone.

Blademaster

Well, I have not read that in any history books so that tells you something. It may be taught in the madrassas but this version was not certainly taught in the history books in India or even discussed among the historians in the Indian circle. It could be true but the question remains, why bring it up at all? He could have said, well there are alternative versions that Ghori castrated Prithviraj and leave it at that but his last post seems to relish the fact that Ghori castrated Prithviraj and had the tone of gleefully regaling the story.

But the most damning thing is from Prithviraj's writings: He said, "But some fake stories changed the destuction of Prithviraj's Big Penis as beheading of his head. So be clear with history." I would like to see sources backing up this assertion.

There is no doubt that the history we study in Indian schools (courtesy M/s Irfan Habeeb and Romila Thapar and their leftist masters) is greatly sanitized mainly not to make the Muslims look bad. There is just no mention of the destruction of 30,000 temples including the famous Somnath temple, Abdali's desecration of Golden Temple (was it twice?), the atrocities of Auragzeb, his forced conversions of Hindus and the cold blooded murders of the Sikh Gurus among others. These are among the most significant events in our recent history.

Many periods of the history are totally skipped or made so bloody complicated that we all loose interest in history as a subject. Its all about memorizing a series of dates and names. I guess it is done deliberately so that students don't get to know the ugly deeds of the Islamic invaders and don't even have any interest to learn history on their own.

WhamBam

Thanks, the WAB is a better place for it.

Blademaster

Perhaps that is a good thing. History can be dangerous in the hands of zealots or hardliners. The trick is to learn the salient points from history while ignoring the unsavory parts that has no need of being repeated or regalled down until enough time has passed by that we no longer have any emotional attachments to certain historial figures or people to feel any anger for wrongdoings otherwise we would be caught in a vicious cycle of death and petty vengeance.
