Hi All,
One of the many topics of Indian History that interest me is "The Treachery of the Muslim soldiers of the Hindu armies". For instance in the battle of Talikota in 1365 CE, one of the reasons given for the defeat of the State of Vijayanagara is the treachery of the Muslim (Turk) soldiers, employed in the army.
Another instance is that of the State of Jammu and Kashmir. Raja Hari Singh's army had Muslim soldiers and they were trusted more than the Hindu/Sikh soldiers. But when Pakistan raided Kashmir, these Muslim soldiers killed their Hindu/Sikh counterparts and sided with the Pakis. It was in 1947.
Couple of years back Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was betrayed by his Muslim lieutenants of the Indian National Army and he faded into oblivion. Most of the Muslims soldiers of INA opted for Pakistan after the Partition. Habibur Rahman, Netaji's companion at the time and Shahnawaz Khan both have misled the several Commissions that were set up by the Government of India to investigate the disappearance of Netaji.
There is has been reports of treachery by Muslims in the current Indian military set up. See this http://www.hvk.org/articles/1205/58.html
The Indian History is full of such instances. Can anyone provide some more?
