Atleast we offered resistance for 200 years before we crumbled unlike one of todays commie ruled states which just let Muslims walk over without any significant resistance.

Ok my mistake, so it wasn't frontier state but then there were other many other states which offered stiff resistance to Muslims (one of them being Orissa) and Bengal wasn't one of them

Good, we also know who fought the Muslims and who didn't.

see, dont try to get into a slinging match just cos the refugees problem caused the commies to take over power.
you didnt have half your state/province amputed, nor did all the bpl types of a neighbouring region pour into yours.
yes orissa offered resistance... timing has a lot to do.... they had a powerful leader at the time the camel jockey's came.
when bengal fell to the muslims, it was the most prosperous state in india. prosperity breeds military complacence.
as for who fought the muslims, the lions share of that is due to the rajputs and the marathas. someone here had pointed out that the 700 years of hammering that the hindi-heartland got from the muslims, was the reason they lacked the guts to join the armed revolt that the likes of netaji and sarvarkar postulated. i have travelled more than most people, across all parts of india.. and i agree.
aside of hampi/vijaynagar, and maybe on the western coast (under purtuguese), you never came under much stick and thus dont feel the pinch.
if you know anything about iran, the peoples of iran wasnt oppressed much under the muslims (unlike indians) cos iran fell quickly to the muslims. people in bengal were not really OPRESSED by muslims, and so there was little resent. under the brits they bore the brunt and they thus led the resistance.
just learn to accept facts and carry your cross. you wouldn't understand.
tell why why do andhraites still consider that tipusultan as some hero ???
