India was called the Sone Ki Chidiya (Golden Bird) because of its Resources , Culture & Strong Economy. But there were many Foreign Invasions on it. Who has faded its brilliance. These invasions destroyed the culture of India. Many external forces ruled India. These Power disturbed the economy of India. These external forces not only disturbed the economy of India but they also ruined the culture, unity and independence of India. These Invaders not only used to come to India to loot, but some even ruled in India. They used to come to India to plunder openly and also create terror by massacre. These external invaders tried their best to destroy the history of India. But today we are read about them glorifyingly. We are read about them that they had an important role in the making of India. Its is very sad.This is India’s misfortune. So in this Blog we will Read about them that they were Really Nation Builders or Destroyer.
India faced countless external invasions. These invasions. These attacks directly or indirectly affected India. The first Islamic attack in India was by Mohammed bin Qasim in the 12th century. Qasim captured Sindh by defeating King Dahir of Sindh. Although Qasim had come to India to plunder, but after capturing Sindh he was massacred and converted people to his religion in large quantities. He also destroyed many temples in Sindh. This attack of Mohammed bin Qasim opened the door for external attacks in India. After Muhammad bin Qasim, Muhammad Ghaznavi attacked India 17 times. He looted Somnath Temple 17 times . He not only looted the Somnath temple 17 times but also destroyed the Shivling ( the statue of Lord Shiva). Not only Mohammad Ghaznavi but after Muhammad Ghaznavi Qutb ud Din Aibak also Demolished Hindu and Jain temples and built a mosque and Qutub Minar there in Delhi. This event is also marked on Qutub Minar.But it is very sad that it is not taught in any book and Qutub Minar is said to be the historical heritage of India.
Many years after Qutb-ud-din Aibak, Alauddin Khilji became the Sultan of Delhi. Alauddin Khilji is said to be a successful ruler. But it is not hidden from anyone that the only reason for the Jauhar in Chittor was also Allauddin Khilji. In which many queens had sacrificed themselves by jumping into the fire for their self respect. Not only this, to end the history of India, Muhammad Ghori’s General Bakhtiyar Khilji had set the Nalanda University on fire. In our books, we are read about these events, but on the other hand these Invaders are also glorified. It is very sad. Today we read that Akbar was the great. But due to the same Akbar, thousands of queens had committed Jauhar on 22 February 1568 to save their dignity. Not only this, after winning Chittorgarh fort on the next day, the same Akbar killed 30,000 innocent people. How can a king who killed thousands of innocent people be great? It is a matter of great sorrow that Aurangzeb, who caused great terror in India, got many temples demolished & killed many respected sikh Gurus, today a whole city is settled in our country on his name. Today we consider the Red Fort as the pride of India, but that Chittorgarh Fort which was built much earlier than the Red Fort & who is the symbol of courage and sacrifice: few people know about it. Our brain washed has been done in such a way that we consider them as nation builders. But the truth is they were not nation builders. They were destroyers.
Today our brainwash has happened in such a way that we have forgotten the real nation builders. Today we are read that Maharana Pratap had to retreat in the battle of Haldighati. But despite having very less army in the battle, Maharana Pratap had pushed back the Mughal army for many kilometers, no one reads this. No one tells us about the battle of Dewair in which Maharana Pratap defeated Akbar’s army of 1 lakh with an army of only 36,000. We are read about Tippu Sultan’s sword but no one tells about Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s sword. Which is said to have been given to him by Lord Durga herself and Shivaji Maharaj never lost any battle with that sword. But now the time has come for us to recognize our real heroes. Our heroes are not Qasim, Ghazni, Ghori, Khilji or Mughals but our real heroes and nation builders are Rana Hamir, Rana Sanga, Maharana Pratap, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Rani laxmi Bai, Birsa Munda, Chandresh Azad and others are all those people who stood up to protect our culture and country.
