<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->No hauma. This is not true. Yes Khilji fought many wars and won many but he lost lot more also. His losses are not discussed at all and he is presented as someone who never lost a war. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Digvijay- what is the point you are trying to make? In you eagerness to press a point you seem not to read my words. Was I even saying that Khalji never lost a war?
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Ala-ud-din was also quite realistic when he mentioned that his order would be obeyed only upto a distance of about 100 miles from Delhi; beyond that limit military intervention was required if he wanted to impose his will on the people.
<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
That is fine, but do you deny the fact his armies had ravaged much of India? That is the point to note.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Again not true. Even when Khilji was in his prime he lost at Chittor, Jalore, Siwana, Ranathambore and other places.
<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Again Digvijay what are you trying to negate? I tend to be careful with my words. You seem to be really eager to bring home point which others may not even be trying to dispute or even present in the first place. Was I even trying to discuss the resistance to Khalji ? And would you deny the fact there were Moslem governors appointed by Khalji in numerous places where Hindu kings ruled before that. Did Hindus successfully stop the rampage of Khalji through India despite defeating him in various battles?
