@@N_ei_L Does it matter what its original meaning was? Currently Hindutva is the name of an extremist Hindu terrorist group that Modi belongs to and hence he was once barred from US prior to getting elected as a prime minister. India is on its way to becoming a mediocre nation. Mark my word.

Before the British, the Muslims conquered India over the Hindus, and before that - on and on back through time. What type of society would India have today without the British? World Wars replaced much of the Royalty of Europe. Would India have had major wars to replace the Nawabs, the Talukdars, the caste system, etc.?

marathas were pretty dominant and mughals could have been defeated easily after aurangzeb's death

​@@harrapanman621 No doubt marathas were dominant but there were other players as well apart from mughuls and marathas, Nizam, French and Tipu sultan in south, Rajputs, sikhs and afgans in north, it was a complicated game being played in Indian subcontinent which was sorted out by british east india company easily with great cunningness and diplomacy, If British east india would not have come in India, French would have conquered it.

“Sepoy Mutineers” !!! How dare you perpetuate your loathsome, undermining Angrezi narrative. Our UNITED Muslim-Hindu-Muslim-Hindu BROTHERHOOD had it’s own September 11, 1857, in which we valourously sought to reinstate our rightful Hindustani Emperor, and rid ourselves of the marauding, looting Alien Angrezi scourge. Had we succeeded, UNITED India’s Independence Day would have been September 11, 1857. Look what you’ve done to us today, for your personal gain.

The ancestors of William Dalrymple were employed in the East India Company which colonised India in the name of civilizing us. Dalrymple still carries that history and does his part in demonising Hindu Civilization. He knows nothing of our culture apart from the dark alleys that every culture suffers due to elitism and institutionalisation. He is a remnant of the colonial India which he considers better than today's India. He calls Chaitanya Mahaprabhu a fanatic, knowing nothing about the Vaishnavite philosophy. He just likes to gain cheap popularity by demeaning our culture. He should be kicked out andnever allowed to set foot in this country like his ancestors in the imperial rule. He is also gladly endorses the Mughols who invaded our country. It seems from his writings on India that he is in all favor for the invaders and not the indigenous populace. I used to be a avid followers, but once I understood his biases, he is to no more than an ignorant historian who intentionally explores just one half of history. He is out on an agenda.

According to your logic Aryans your or ours ancestors were also invaders who came from outside and settled here. Hinduism came into existence in its earliest form around 600 bce.but Indian subcontinent history is over 5000 years old what about remaining 2500 years. What about Harappa and mohenjodaro civilization. no one person or religion can claim sole ownership of this land. People have came in different times in history and settled here and became one. You just need to read history without your religious lens.you will be surprised to know which king from which religion have wrecked havoc in different era of our history.
