When one glances at the map of central Asia one sees Samarqand, Khorezm, Khorasan, Khotan and Bokhara, <b>all once great centers of Indo-Iranian culture</b>, now civilizational tragedies under the mushroom cloud of the Islamic terror. The Turkic struggle against Islam is one of the forgotten chapters of history that needs to be repeatedly brought home. We had earlier seen how the Kha'khans of the Turkic tribes like the Uighur and Blue Turks had fought various Islamic Ghazis. But one of the most heroic struggles of the Central Asian Turks against the terrifying atrocities of Islam was due the Tuergish Turks under their great Khan Su-lu.

can you substantiate the bit in bold??
not trying to be skeptical, but i have often heard/read about how arabs were an offshot of hindus, how kabaa was a shiv temple etc, but have seldom seen or heard these claims being irrevocably backed up. and unless thats done, its in fact dangerous and silly to make such claims cos we will get branded as hindu fundamentalists or some such.
So can we have the proof that samarkhand, bokhara etc were once indo-iranian if not fully indian/hindu (not much difference between indian and iranian in any case)
