The Ocean Of Churn: Chapter 3

 The Merchants of Meluhha

- traditional view discovers agriculture in the Middle east

- maybe true for Europe as well

- Biblical View - civilization began in middle east

- farming emerged independently in many parts of the World

India's Early Farmers

- Baluchistan - in excavation - first place in subcontinent to witness agriculture base settlements

- Mehrgarh in the BoganValeey (documented site - 8000 years before)

- Early layers - bones of animals like Gazelle, spotted dear, sambar, blackbuck, nilgai, wild ass and elephants

- some of above cant thrive in Present Baluchistan

- Later layers - mix gradually switches to cattle, goat and sheep

- Barley first crop, wheat later

- Recent Study - Farming appeared more or less simultaneously in number of cluster in Northern India

- Animal bones found in Central India as well (Horses painted on rocks of Bhimbetka, stone Age site South of Madhya Pradesh) 

- Indians familiar with Horses suggested we domesticated against the view that says animals domesticated in Central Asia than came here in Iron Age

- South India - farming came late, or sites have been washed away or choice between catching fish and seeing vegetables grow

The Rivers of Civilization 

- Indian subcontinent witness growth on two rivers - Indus and dry bed of Ghaggar

- Ghaggar - Emerged from Himalaya near modern day Chandigarh --> Haryana ---> Rajasthan ---> Sindh ---> Rann of Kutch - Sea

- Accepted now Ghaggar is Saraswati. 

- more settlement on Saraswati bank than Indus river

- Indus Valley Civilization - Harappan

- Saraswati and Ghaggar - Carbon Dating - 7000 B.C. almost same as oldest site in Baluchistan

- Monsoon gradually started weaken - 5000 B.C

- 3200 B.C - Egypt unified, Large settlements in Saraswati and Indus Basins - 2600 B.C

- 2600 - 2000 B.C - Mature Harappan period - rise of major cities Mohenjodaro, Harappa, Dholavira, Kalibangan, etc

- 2000 B.C. - cities declined

- Harappan didnt built Piramids but Cities were sophisticated and spread is very very large upto Gujarat

The Maritime Hub of Dholavira

- Rann of Kutch get water from Indus and Saraswati

- Sea level at Harappans was several metres higher than today - Saurashtra Peninsula was Island - ships can enter Rann of Kutchh and exit to Gulf of of Khambhat 

- 2600 B.C. Saraswati began to dry

- Tectonic shifted Sutlej to Indus and Yamuna to Ganga

- Mature Harappan period started when Saraswati started dying

- Trade major influencer in Persian Gulf

- Harappan weights and measures were Standard across region

- Locals copied Harappan seals

- till 1960s Indian Rupee was used as legal tender in Oman, Qatar, Bahrain and UAE

Did the Harappans Compose the Vedas?

- Traditional view Rig-Veda composed by so-called Aryans in 1500 B.C from Central Asia.

- date is arbitrary no archaelogical or genetic sign of a large scale invasion/migration

- Rig-Veda no mention of Central Asia, geographically concerns with only Sapta Sindhu or Land of Seven Rivers (Haryana and some regions of Punjab & Rajasthan)

- Original land of Bharat tribe than defeated an alliance of ten tribe on banks of Ravi in Punjab, expended to east along Yamuna and created first known Empire Bharatas

- Harappan people derived from ANI gene pool

- Rig Veda - Saraswati as the greatest rivers. 45 hyms for it and hardly 2 for Ganga. No mention of drying of Saraswati so should be at least written 2600 B.C. . So its pre Harappan text.

The Churning of Genes

- Harappan cities flourished till 2000 B.C. Due to climate change this Bronze Age civilization was impacted

- Similar climate change happened in Egypt and Mesopotamia

- Post Vedic text describe Saraswati disappeared underground

- Some people migrated to Himalaya foothills and gangetic plains. From Gujarat -> South to Narmada and Tapti valley

- ANI  Genes -> South and East, ASI -> North

- Present day major population belongs to this mixed gene of ANI and ASI

- Mainstream historians - Unidirectional flow of culture and Technology from North-West of India to east and South

- Varanasi is as old as Harappan

- Bronze Age bypassed Southern India. In Late 3rd Millenium B.C. they invented Iron. 

- Traditional view invaders from Central Asia introduced Iron

- University of Hyderabad in 2014-15 discovered in their campus iron artifacts including weapons dated around 2400-1800 B.C. 

The Indo-Iranians

- Oldest Zoroastrianism, religion of ancient Persia, composed in language similar to Vedic Sanskrit. They follow rituals and customs like fire sacrifice and sacred thread.  

- Unlike Vedic text they refer to "Original Land". They have knowledge of Saraswati and Sapta Sindhu.

- Perhaps Persian are descendants of Parsu tribe part of ten tribe defeated by Bharatas tribe.

- Gouda Brahmins from Banks for Sarawati-> Bengal --> Western Coast (oral histories)

- Vedic Mitanni god Mitra - popular deity in Middle East . Romans (God - Solar god Mitras)

- Pagan Romans -> festival Saturnalia for a week from 17th Dec - 25th Dec. Christians converted and kept the popular festival and choose 25 Dec as Jesus birthday which is not accepted by Orthodox Church still celebrate birthday on 7th January

The Daughters of Chitrangada

- Matrilineal customs - Khasis of Meghalaya

- Assam - Sindoor is applied by mother-in-law instead of husband

- Mahabharata - Arjun visited kingdom of Manipur and marries Princess Chitrangada. Condition - she will not follow him back as she and her children were heirs of throne 

5th Glorious Epoch: From 12th Century to the end of 13th Century

Six Glorious Epochs of Indian History: Chapter XV

Mohammed Ghori

• In 1176 A.D., Ghori captured the strong fort of Ooch in Panchnad.
• After the death of King of Gujarat, his minor son was enthroned. This led Ghori to think the Kingdom is weak so he attacked it. The Queen herself fought with him at the mountain ranges of Abu. She urged all the soldiers to t defend the infant king. 
• Inflamed by her words the whole Hindu army fought so furiously that Muslims were routed in all directions and led Ghori escaped narrowly beyond borders.
• in 1191 A.D, Ghori attacked Delhi ruled by then Prithviraj Chouhan. He was defeated in the famous Battle of Talavadi but let go by Prithviraj.
• But Ghori attacked again in 1193 A.D. After a fierce battle and with the help of traitor Jaychand the King of Kanouj, Ghori won the battle and went straight to Delhi.
• News of defeat reached before him, hundreds of Hindu women along with Princes Sanyogita performed Jayhar - Johar. Many leapt into the river Yamuna.
• After plundering and destroying royal palaces, Ghori appointed a trusted slave Kutubuddin as Chief Administrator and went back to Ghazni.
• In 1195, Ghori along with Kutubuddin attacked Kanouj and Killed Jayachand.
• Hearing of Kashi as the holiest of Hindu places of worship, he headed straight for it in order to destroy Hindu religion.
• As Kashi was totally unaware and unprepared for this. Ghori captured Kashi in no time.
• Ghori slaughtered Hindu men and women, plundered Hindu houses, ravished Hindu women and forced converted thousands to Islam and slavery.
• Soon after reaching Ghazni, Ghori was killed. A detailed account can be found in 'Prithviraj Raso' by Chand Bhat.

Prithviraj Raso

• After defeat of Prithviraj, he was taken to Ghazni as a captive and his eyes were taken out.
• After hearing this Chand went to Ghazni on his own. Charans and Bhats were supposed to bear a charmed life, were not to be killed. 
• Chand requested in poetic sense to Ghori, to kill him as well. But before Killing Prithviraj Sultan should witness a demonstration of the exceptional skill of my master in the wonderful art of hitting the sound in archery.
• Arrangements with precautions were made. 21 Pans were hanged. One of one Prithviraj stuck all of them. Whole court was thrilled with wonder and finally Sultan himself shouted aloud 'shabas' shabas - bravo.
• At this very moment Chand composed a couplet telling Prithviraj to kill Sultan shouting 'Shabas' right now.
• Prithviraj took an aim and shot the Sultan at once.
• Before the guards can fall on them, both Prithviraj and Chand Bhat drew out their own swords and cut off their own heads.

The Slave Dynasty and Fictitious Story of Kutubminar

• After Ghori, his slave Kutubuddin, himself became Sultan and established his independent kingdom in Delhi.
• The legend that he built famous Kutubminar as a memorial to his victory is altogether false.
• This was built by a certain Hindu emperor, most probably by Samudra Gupta and was dedicated to Lord Vishnu.
• Recent excavations discovered an ancient idol of Shree Vishnu near pillar supports this assertion. Thereafter Prithviraj improved it to great extent, so it was called as Prithvistambh. 

Raids on Chitod and Hindu Victories 

• While Kutubuddin was conquering the Punjab, Delhi, Kanouj and other Hindu states, he was uneasy about the Rajput states.
• After the death of Rana Samarsingh of Chitod, his minor son Karna was throned. He attacked Chitod. But the mother of minor King Karna, Karundevi was very brave. She took charge of the army and inspired neighboring Hindu states to come together and defeat Kutubuddin.
• Kutubuddin was defeated in the battle of Ambar(Amber or Amer). He fled back to Delhi.
• When Rana Rahup succeeded Karna, Kutubuddin attacked Chitod again but was routed . He never attacked Chitod till Rana Rahup death.
• In all these episodes, Hindu never invaded Muslim kingdoms or pursued them in the battle field till their destruction all because of their perverted sense of virtues.
• After Kutubuddin's death in 1210 A.D., in between 2-3 incapable ruler came. Finally Sultana Razia began to rule.
• She fell in love to a slave later on named Jalaluddin. This was not acceptable to Turkish noblemen as Jalaluddin was negro. This also proves that there was caste difference existed within Muslims as well contrary to their claims.
• Turkish noblemen under leadership of Altunia rose against her and defeated her in the battle. 
• She cast some sort of spell on Altunia and married him. But they were killed by the noblemen and the army. Finally 'Bulban' from Slave Dynasty became the Sultan of Delhi.

Mongol Raids - Chengeezkhan

• During the reign of Slave dynasty, Mongols raids the farthest borders of India's, causing troubles. Their leader Chengeezkhan, deposed and killed the Khaliph of Baghdad, whom muslims respected as representative of God and razed the City of Baghdad to ground. Yet the Allah could do absolutely nothing against him.
• Chengeezkhan overthrew the kingdom of Kiev in Russia, ravaged whole tract straight upto the Black Sea. He went straight to Mongolia after defeating kingdom of Ghazni. He died in 1227 A.D.
• One after effect of Mongol-Turkish struggle is that they had a mixed Progeny which was called Moghal or Mughal. They reached till Delhi but was not accepted by Old muslims as these were considered low-born. They founded a separate colony in Delhi by name 'Moghalpura'.
•  Bulban was very cruel against Hindus. He died in 1286 A.D. There was no able heir to lead him. In four years a nobleman from the Khilji family Jalaluddin, killed all sons and grandsons of Bulban and proclaimed himself the Sultan of Delhi.

Khilji Dynasty

• Jalaluddin called itself Pathans (Afghans) if at all it was of Turkish extraction. Seeing the tremendous loss of Muslim lives in the siege of Ratanbhor he raised the siege and decamped saying, 'I value a single hair of a Muslim more than a hundred such forts'. But all proved hollow, he was devasted by the Rajputs and after this failure never again troubled the Rajputs.
• Old Jalalluddin wanted to enthrone his Muslim nephew Allauddin after his own death. So he send himwith a large army to face the Rajputs. But this looks very small assignment to Allauddin. 
• He straight went to attack Southern Hindu states without taking permission from Sultan. The first Hindu state to fall a victim of this unexpected attack of Allauddin was that of the Yadava of Devgiri.
• Hindu society of South for almost 2 thousand years been enjoying complete political, religious and social independence and had been economically highly prosperous.
• So this invasion of Allauddin was the first of its kind and was bound to be successful with far reaching harmful effects.

 

Samrat Pushyamitra

ब्राह्मण सम्राट पुष्यमित्र शुंग

#जिस_माथे_पर_तिलक_ना_दिखा_वो_सिर_धड़_से_अलग_कर_दिया_जाएगा --- पुष्यमित्र शुंग

बात आज से 2100 साल पहले की है।

एक किसान ब्राह्मण के घर एक पुत्र ने जन्म लिया। नाम रखा गया पुष्यमित्र।
पूरा नाम पुष्यमित्र शुंग।
और वो बना एक महान हिन्दू सम्राट जिसने भारत को बुद्ध देश बनने से बचाया। अगर ऐसा कोई राजा कम्बोडिया, मलेशिया या इंडोनेशिया में जन्म लेता तो आज भी यह देश हिन्दू होते।
जब सिकन्दर ब्राह्मण राजा पोरस से मार खाकर अपना विश्व विजय का सपना तोड़ कर उत्तर भारत से शर्मिंदा होकर मगध की और गया था उसके साथ आये बहुत से यवन वहां बस गए। अशोक सम्राट के बुद्ध धर्म अपना लेने के बाद उनके वंशजों ने भारत में बुद्ध धर्म लागू करवा दिया। ब्राह्मणों के द्वारा इस बात का सबसे अधिक विरोध होने पर उनका सबसे अधिक कत्लेआम हुआ। हज़ारों मन्दिर गिरा दिए गए। इसी दौरान पुष्यमित्र के माता पिता को धर्म परिवर्तन से मना करने के कारण उनके पुत्र की आँखों के सामने काट दिया गया। बालक चिल्लाता रहा मेरे माता पिता को छोड़ दो। पर किसी ने नही सुनी। माँ बाप को मरा देखकर पुष्यमित्र की आँखों में रक्त उतर आया। उसे गाँव वालों की संवेदना से नफरत हो गयी। उसने कसम खाई की वो इसका बदला बौद्धों से जरूर लेगा और जंगल की तरफ भाग गया।
एक दिन मौर्य नरेश बृहद्रथ जंगल में घूमने को निकला। अचानक वहां उसके सामने शेर आ गया। शेर सम्राट की तरफ झपटा। शेर सम्राट तक पहुंचने ही वाला था की अचानक एक लम्बा चौड़ा बलशाली भीमसेन जैसा बलवान युवा शेर के सामने आ गया। उसने अपनी मजबूत भुजाओं में उस मौत को जकड़ लिया। शेर को बीच में से फाड़ दिया और सम्राट को कहा की अब आप सुरक्षित हैं। अशोक के बाद मगध साम्राज्य कायर हो चुका था। यवन लगातार मगध पर आक्रमण कर रहे थे। सम्राट ने ऐसा बहादुर जीवन में ना देखा था। सम्राट ने पूछा ” कौन हो तुम”। जवाब आया ” ब्राह्मण हूँ महाराज”। सम्राट ने कहा “सेनापति बनोगे”? पुष्यमित्र ने आकाश की तरफ देखा, माथे पर रक्त तिलक करते हुए बोला “मातृभूमि को जीवन समर्पित है”। उसी वक्त सम्राट ने उसे मगध का उपसेनापति घोषित कर दिया।
जल्दी ही अपने शौर्य और बहादुरी के बल पर वो सेनापति बन गया। शांति का पाठ अधिक पढ़ने के कारण मगध साम्राज्य कायर ही चूका था। पुष्यमित्र के अंदर की ज्वाला अभी भी जल रही थी। वो रक्त से स्नान करने और तलवार से बात करने में यकीन रखता था। पुष्यमित्र एक निष्ठावान हिन्दू था और भारत को फिर से हिन्दू देश बनाना उसका स्वपन था।
आखिर वो दिन भी आ गया। यवनों की लाखों की फ़ौज ने मगध पर आक्रमण कर दिया। पुष्यमित्र समझ गया की अब मगध विदेशी गुलाम बनने जा रहा है। बौद्ध राजा युद्ध के पक्ष में नही था। पर पुष्यमित्र ने बिना सम्राट की आज्ञा लिए सेना को जंग के लिए तैयारी करने का आदेश दिया। उसने कहा की इससे पहले दुश्मन के पाँव हमारी मातृभूमि पर पड़ें हम उसका शीश उड़ा देंगे। यह नीति तत्कालीन मौर्य साम्राज्य के धार्मिक विचारों के खिलाफ थी।

 सम्राट पुष्यमित्र के पास गया। गुस्से से बोला ” यह किसके आदेश से सेना को तैयार कर रहे हो”। पुष्यमित्र का पारा चढ़ गया। उसका हाथ उसके तलवार की मुठ पर था। तलवार निकालते ही बिजली की गति से सम्राट बृहद्रथ का सर धड़ से अलग कर दिया और बोला ” ब्राह्मण किसी की आज्ञा नही लेता”।

हज़ारों की सेना सब देख रही थी। पुष्यमित्र ने लाल आँखों से सम्राट के रक्त से तिलक किया और सेना की तरफ देखा और बोला
“ना बृहद्रथ महत्वपूर्ण था,.........
ना पुष्यमित्र...........
महत्वपूर्ण है तो मगध,
महत्वपूर्ण है तो मातृभूमि,

क्या तुम रक्त बहाने को तैयार हो??”।
उसकी शेर सी गरजती आवाज़ से सेना जोश में आ गयी। सेनानायक आगे बढ़ कर बोला “हाँ सम्राट पुष्यमित्र । हम तैयार हैं”। पुष्यमित्र ने कहा” आज मैं सेनापति ही हूँ।चलो काट दो यवनों को।”।
जो यवन मगध पर अपनी पताका फहराने का सपना पाले थे वो युद्ध में गाजर मूली की तरह काट दिए गए। एक सेना जो कल तक दबी रहती थी आज युद्ध में जय महाकाल के नारों से दुश्मन को थर्रा रही है। मगध तो दूर यवनों ने अपना राज्य भी खो दिया। पुष्यमित्र ने हर यवन को कह दिया की अब तुम्हे भारत भूमि से वफादारी करनी होगी नही तो काट दिए जाओगे।
इसके बाद पुष्यमित्र का राज्यभिषेक हुआ। उसने सम्राट बनने के बाद घोषणा की अब कोई मगध में बुद्ध धर्म को नही मानेगा। हिन्दू ही राज धर्म होगा। उसने साथ ही कहा
“जिसके माथे पर तिलक ना दिखा वो सर धड़ से अलग कर दिया जायेगा”।
उसके बाद पुष्यमित्र ने वो किया जिससे आज भारत कम्बोडिया नही है। उसने लाखों बौद्धों को मरवा दिया। बुद्ध मन्दिर जो हिन्दू मन्दिर गिरा कर बनाये गए थे उन्हें ध्वस्त कर दिया। बुद्ध मठों को तबाह कर दिया। चाणक्य काल की वापसी की घोषणा हुई और तक्षिला विश्विद्यालय का सनातन शौर्य फिर से बहाल हुआ।
शुंग वंशवली ने कई सदियों तक भारत पर हुकूमत की। पुष्यमित्र ने उनका साम्राज्य पंजाब तक फैला लिया।
इनके पुत्र सम्राट अग्निमित्र शुंग ने अपना साम्राज्य तिब्बत तक फैला लिया और तिब्बत भारत का अंग बन गया। वो बौद्धों को भगाता चीन तक ले गया। वहां चीन के सम्राट ने अपनी बेटी की शादी अग्निमित्र से करके सन्धि की। उनके वंशज आज भी चीन में “शुंग” surname ही लिखते हैं।
पंजाब- अफ़ग़ानिस्तान-सिंध की शाही ब्राह्मण वंशवली के बाद शुंग dynasty शायद सबसे बेहतरीन ब्राह्मण साम्राज्य था। शायद पेशवा से भी महान।

5th Glorious Epoch: Tipu Sultan, The Savage

Six Glorious Epochs of Indian History: Chapter XI

Tipu Sultan

• Towards the middle of 18th century there was no Muslim rival to Maratha Empire all over the country. 
• However, the Hindu King of Mysore King Chikka Krishnaraj Vodyar did the same mistake as others by entrusting his Muslim supreme military commander Hyder-alli. After capturing throne from Krishnaraj, Hyder Alli attacked Marathas but beaten down. He attacked English at Madras successfully. After his death in 1782, Tipu Sultan -1 succeeded him. 
• Tipu Sultan did the same thing, ordered to forceful convert Hindus to Islam, those who refuse, if man should be killed and Women should be made slaves among the muslims.
• He attacked Malabar converted thousands of Hindus. Attacked Dharwar to Travancore, hundereds of Hindus drowned themselves into Krishna river, many preferred to leapt in fire.

Maratha's Onslaught

• By seeing plight of Hindus, The Chief Administrator of the Peshwas, Nana Phadnavis ordered all Maratha chieftains to march on Tipu from all sides.
• Tipu attacked and destroyed two small Brahmin kingdom Nargund and Kittur. 
• Sardar Patwardhan Phadke, Behare Holkar, Bhonsale and other Maratha Chieftains defeated various armies of Tipu Sultan, and after rescuing the whole of Karnataka pressed him back up to Mysore.
• Whether to please Marathas or win back Hindus, Tipu started to visit temples, installed new idols, asked Brahmins to pray for him, etc, etc.
• In 2-3 expeditions the Marathas and English forces subjugated the whole Kingdom. Tipu was killed in 1799.
• How shameful, same mistake again and again and again. Even after winning and destroying Tipu sultan completely Marathas didn't did anything on religious front. Hundred thousands of hindu converted were  living miserable life, abducted women who are living as slaves were left as it is.
• Whats the use of such win which was just for glory but didn't care about the pain, humiliation and tears of Hindu society.
• English gave two sons of Tipu to Haripant Phadke, he found both of them were hungry so he gave them food and returned to English. He didn't even think about what happened to Guru Govindji son's when muslims found them.
• It can be said only that the virus of the perverted sense of virtues had been flowing through their arteries and veins for centuries together.

Ethics of war, like charioteer will fight charioteer, sword will meet sword, etc was perhaps quite suitable for the ancient times before Mahabharata. For both parties obeyed the same set of rules. The Pandawas themselves had violated, at the instance of Lord Krishna many of these chivalrous rules of war. But Hindus forget the lesson taught by Bhagwat Geeta.

Only few nations who defeated Muslims politically, went on to defeat them religiously and freed the land with every single muslims.

Emancipation of Spain from Muslims

• Arabs under Omayyads(711 - 788 A.D.) had overrun Spain and established a powerful Muslim state here followed by religious conversion. Countless Christains Men and Women violently and mercilessly converted to Islam.
• These oppressed Christians revolt under one of the Royal Dynasty of Spain, with the help of growing Christian nation in France and encouragement from Papal seat of Rome
• Many years of warfare during the 11th and 13th centuries, Spanish cleaned most of the country from Muslims and finally the conquest of Granada in 1492 A.D. they freed Spain completely from Muslim. 

The same fate awaited the Muslims in Poland, Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece and other Christain nations. They all rid their once Muslim dominated countries of every single Muslim.

5th Glorious Epoch: Intermittent Hindu Retaliation Against Muslim Religious Aggression

Six Glorious Epochs of Indian History: Chapter X

Far beyond the frontiers of India, wherever Muslim aggression took place, natives there totally deprived of their religion. But in India alone their attempts were not completely successful.The muslim invaders from Kasim in 8th Century, Ghazni in 11th till 18th when Peshwas in 18th century overthrow the Moghul empire. Why then did the muslims fail to destroy the hindu society completely?

• First reason, the political defeat which the Hindus inflicted on these muslims.Initial stage, Bhim and Rana Pratap and other Rajput princess, next Hindu kings of Vijyanagar and Lastly Marathas dealt it deadly blows under Peshwas.
• Other reason, The warriors Men and Women who opposed religious aggression of muslim with counter-aggression following the precepts the Maharshi Deval and Medhatithi.
• Bappa Raval of Mevad attacked Sindh and muslim strongholds beyond it, annexed them into his territory. He married a muslim princess who was captured in his final muslim rout and kept her in his harem. Offspring from this muslim convert queen were respected as born in the family of Sun god.
• Raval Chechak of Jaisalmir married the daughter of Sultan Haibatkhan named Somaldevi and established her in his Yadav race.
• Kanwar Jagmal married daughter of Sultan of Gujrath after crushing him in battle, called Gindoli.
• Raimal the King of Marwad captured 600 Muslim women and reconverted them to Hinduism married them publicly to several noblemen of his court.
• Kumbharana of Mevad took all the captured muslim women to his kingdom after defeating muslims.
• Historian of Rajasthan, Major Tod and political history, called Rassos of the Rajput also mentions many such instances of conversion of muslim women.
• Raja Jayasthiti of Nepal avenged muslim aggression in same manner after defeating Shamsuddin the Nawab of Bengal.
• Muslim historical records mentioned that Hindu kafirs converted even Muslim women to Hinduism which is not found even in our Hindu historical books.E.g: Tarikh-i-Sorath mentions how King of Anhilwad at the time Ghazni carried away several of Turkish, Moghul and Afghan women.
• Arundevrai of Ajmer built Lake Anasagar. Whichever muslim convert take bath in this lake was considered purified and could enter Hinduism.
• Similar lake Lake Amarsagar built by Amarsingh Maharaj of Jaisalmir.
• Shree Vidyaranyaswami like Maharshi Deval and Medatithi converted brothers Harihar and Bukka and established in 1336 A.D., the Hindu state of Vijayanagar. He built Madhavteerth in Gomantak and performed mass reconversion.
• Shree Ramanujacharya disciples Ramanand and Chaitanya Prabhu of Bengal, Shree Shivachhatrapati performed mass reconversion.

A Counter-Aggression?

Under leadership of powerful Maharana Jaswantsingh and the brave Durgadas Rathod, Masjids were razed to the ground and Hindu temples were built. The Rathod armies cast pork in Masjid after Masjid. Hundreds of muslim women kept as concubines. The whole muslim society in Rajputana was horror stricken.

Smritis and the Ban on sea Voyages
After Mohammed Ghori's invasion, there was ban on Sea Voyage (crossing Attock) solely to save Hinduism as there was no armed support for Hindus. The great king Maharaja Bhoj of Dhara (999 A.C. - 1054 A.C.) at this time fixed the boundaries. It is foolish to think of any order by the Smritis which claimed to follow the Vedic Cult. Emperor Rajendra Chola a trict follower of Vedic Cult was called "Trisamudreshwar" - ruler of the three seas - as that if "Samrat" in the north.
The only mistake happened that the writers of these Smritis stamped them with old authoritative seal of "This is the old tradition" instead they should have mentioned as currently we don't have arm support to protect our ships so ban will be there till we get stronger to protect our interest.

On the other side in South brutal conversion by Portuguese missionaries was going on under threat of arms.

So, many kings and saints followed counter aggression on religious front. However, when a particular hero dies, his followers give up these aggression. The Hindu society in general felt no urgency of handing down to the later generations the anecdotes and legends of these heroic deeds. The muslim enemy always feared that even the Hindus also could avenge religious persecution on occasions. But still many Hindus didn't followed the aggression on religious front. Justification by Hindus of those times was that Muslim might have been more enraged and their attacks might have been more brutal.

Will see how these justification were totally illogical. It was only lack of will in Hindus which prevented this.

5th Glorious Epoch: Super-Diabolic Counter Offensive The Only Answer

Six Glorious Epochs of Indian History: Chapter IX

As we saw Hindu society suffered tremendous numerical losses due to forceful conversions and many other reason discussed in last chapter. Its only due to prophetic social and religious reformers, astute diplomats, gigantic thinkers and philosophers the total extinction of Hindus was avoided.

Maharshi Deval (800-900A.D) 

• Both of these were critic of Manusmriti. They had pointed out to the Hindus brave new ways, new religious thoughts, new weapons which were calculated to bring them success.
• They found that the laws of behaviour laid down in different Smritis were in every way powerless to counteract the armed religio-political aggression of the enemy.
• Deval Smriti: Any Hindu man or woman if shows desire to come back after forceful conversion to Islam to be reconverted to Hinduism. Also, a Woman forcibly converted to Islam, or who served in Muslim households or a slave should be completely absorbed in the Hindu society. Even a pregnant woman was to be considered as a bar of gold after being heated in the goldsmith's chafing dish once her foetus came out after delivery.
• However, Deval Smriti failed to care about the children of these pregnant women who were handed over to Muslims.
• Still in these adverse circumstances this religious revolt of hundreds of Hindu leaders like Deval and others was not a small thing.
• Due to this Muslims were completely beaten down in Sindh on two front, political as well as religious. Within 30 years of Kasim's invasion Sindh was reconquered and for next two hundreds years resisted successfully all attacks.
• Above was written by Muslim writer Al Biladuri in "In  the days of Tamim".

Acharya Medhatithi (850-950 A.D.)

• The guidance by Acharya Medatithi became like Arthashastra of Arya Chanakya.
• To the whole Aryavarta he wanted to teach once again the lesson of expansionism and victorious imperialism.
• The Aryan slogan "Krunvanto Vishram Aryam" (We are going to make the whole World Aryan) became popular.
• He rendered not only all the silly 'codes of conduct' but even the smritis that called them caste-laws absolutely defunct and valueless.
• To invade another kingdom especially an enemy state - can never be an injustice in political sciences. Its a duty of King to crush the enemy before he invades you. Protection of Aryavarta is the supreme duty of a king.
• Even if neighbouring Non-Aryan kingdom is not guilty of anything and stronger than Aryan kingdom, we should ourselves form alliance with other friendly or unfriendly powers and go to war against this non-aryan state, the moment we are assured of success.
• He favoured an invincible and victorious Bharatiya Empire by uniting all Kingdoms small or big. 
• Under Kingly duties he emphasized once you are engaged in war with the enemy you should throw kindness and generosity to the winds and crush the enemy outright.
• In th war the so-called virtues like honesty, simplicity, consistency in speech and action and politeness, gentility and generosity themselves prove fatal to the nation. Hence, a king should not fall a prey to them - should keep himself aloof from them.
• At least some Hindu states followed these principles like Chanakya's ideal disciple Chandragupta, crossed boundaries of Aryavarta and waged successful wars against the Muslim powers.
• In North frontier Hindu states were forced not to cross but defend their boundaries. Yet after Mahmud of Ghazni for 150 years Southern state remained independent and powerful.
• South states like the Kalingas, the Pandyas, the Cheras, Cholas and other Hindu states sent powerful naval expeditions across the Western (upto African coast) and Eastern (upto Chinese) seas.
• Kings like Rajendra Chola marched with his naval forces, through Burma, Pegu the Andamans and the Nicobars and other archipelagos, Java, Indo-China, Thailand, Lakshadiv and Maldiva Island in Western Sea and Conquered Ceylon in Southern Ocean.

It is doubtless that on the strength of religious authority of Medhatithi illumined by the glorious tradition of Chanakya these Victorious Hindu naval forces conquered kingdom after kingdom.
