 To depict Rajputs valour, during the 1300’s defeat of Genghis Khan at Rajputs hands under Emperor Allauddin Khilji. We know how big murderer Genghis Khan was that he established the big Mongol empire from Morocco to China all met defeats to Genghis Khan,

but never he was able to win Delhi, mainly due to Allauddin Khilji's strategy along with having brave & courageous Rajput warriors fit for defeating any rivals. Outside India were the tortures of Mongols led by Genghis highlighted in red above the empire was second biggest ever (while biggest known being Mauryan empire)…wherever he won, massacred the places in his own way, but Delhi and whole of India remained unconquerable to him while just outside Indian boundaries everything met defeats to Mongols.The Parsis, whose name means “Persians,” are descended from Persian Zoroastrians who emigrated to India to avoid such religious persecution going on outside India and that's why the brand ambassador “Ratan Tata” throughout life loved this nation a lot for it's rich culture and fact that it gave shelter to his ancestors and Persians since 8th century who fled religious persecutions.

During the invasions by Muhammad Ghori, who won over parts of Afghanistan, Iran, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan,etc but met big defeat by PrithviRaj Chauhan of Delhi such that he had to literally beg for his life and leave Delhi humillated. Rajputs were facing the border of the country at Delhi under PRC(PrithviRaj Chauhan)and they kept invaders away for a very long time while Islam had already conquered off Persia, etc outside India there was their rule and all of ancient idolatry were closed down outside India or were massacred, and still there was no hope for Muhammed Ghori to defeat India when Rajput’s King Prithviraj Chauhan was reigning Delhi. After attempting around 17 trials, Ghori again once with huge massive army, artilleries attempted a final try, but was easily in no time brutally defeated at the hands of Rajput king Prithviraj Chauhan, being chained Ghori was finally brought in PRCs kingdom, down with heavy losses poor Ghori demanded asking forgiveness and life and accepted loss in war against Bharat. Thus, he was sent alive back by PRC safely to Afghanistan, Yes! by PRC who showed mercy who was completely fearless King to face any rival,any war. Thereafter, Ghori tried winning only through deceits and treacheries. Preacher Christi walked to India with spiritual concept of Sufism in India wherein he began preaching Islam through arts, music at Ajmer dargah. This time Ghori finding impossible to face Prithviraj, no way to win against India as Prithviraj was too strong to defeat so, he completely started deceits, took advantage of even minor chaos in PRC's family and finally cheated upon a midnight attack during am ongoing conflict between Jaichand and PRC and this attack was against military norms, and through treacherous means only Prithviraj was defeated. Those days military norms were obeyed over throne, but solely through deceits India was conquered be it Mughals(or even British). Else there was no way…Ghori tried all possible means available in those times of direct invasions, but seeing no way out to win over strong and brave Prithviraj ultimately through treachery and deciet when PRCs army wasn't available for war the attack was completed and with all his might possible, a do or die attack led, eventually Ghori himself went back to Afghanistan down with heavy loss of armed forces again but now with a won battle escaped the Indian region taking PRC chained with him and as per Raso, was killed eventually by PRC in a skill based challenge in court just as PRC had forgiven him life once when he pleaded, so, Ghori to gain fake pride for fun asked if blinded PRC can shot him dead and PRC just exactly did it what Gor boasted about in his courtmens to his doom. PRC killed off Ghori and then himself too in no time to show the valour of Rajputs, not to mention Rajput women equally supported nation through widely practiced Sati, Vishkanya practices to stop the Mughals populating further on won territories in India or skilled one's fought to death their honor. Due to the quick deaths for throne at Delhi and killed Ghori had wives but no biological kin in his family to take kingship for the won Delhi, his worthy slave Aibak was decided to be throned as first ever foreign ruler at Delhi.

Massive victory and islam continued it's conquest in India with resistances all over nation, with gaining new regions and losing too of which the part of Marathas comes into historical books. Bravely Chattrapati Shivaji too deceited Afzhal Khan and thus, the kingdom won by Mughals on basis of deceits was lost also by deceits to Marathas later on and Mughals lost their known glory because of Marathas conquering lands back to back and nothing left much for Mughals to rule over soon, few lateron proved very worthy citizens of country like honorable scientist APJ Abdul Kalam whom the country respects for their work and way they leaved for Bharat.

Thus, I actually believe that Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj was more of a warrior incarnation of Prithviraj Chauhan and Bhavani’s devotee to gain back the lost glory of Bharat to invaders who by deceits took it and by deceits and Guerrilla warfare techniques Chattrapati took back the territories under Mughals.

We are today back at same landscape with tradition,temples, spiritual sites of utmost historical importance to us, Ram mandir revived off, but due to geographical politics lost Pakistan so, “Hinglaj Bhavani's” Shaktipeeth is external for Indians to visit, apart from Kailash Mansarovar in China, Pashupatinath in Nepal, Dhakeshwari temple in East Pak/Bangladesh.

Other than that we are the same historical India 🇮🇳we used to be,but under a democracy instead.
