Let us sing praise to all who fought against the invaders of all kinds. True, Sind and Punjab (Multan) were one of the first areas to come under the Islamist yoke but our ancesters there did not make it easy for them. Remember Persia was captured under 30 years, Arabia in about the same time. The turks did no better and spain was down soon. It was only in India that the invaders had to fight pitched battles again and again. It was a slow crawl to Delhi and it took them over 500 years to cross the Yamuna. If our history is to be accurately projected, we never made it easy for them and fight we certainly did. But we did not do many things well and hence the eventual down fall. I am also convinced that had not the British arrived on the scene the Hindu kingdoms were well on their way to domination, yet again.
