British ruled for 147 years and cover 1/3rd of history books. And the most important battle (with an impact of 160 years) of Indian history and none of us were ever informed about it.
Please read the thread.
The battle of Bahraich 1033
(Must read the last tweet)1/5
We know Mahmud Of Ghazni invaded India 1001-1027CE multi times plundered Somnath temple and looted wealth. Then we read in 1191 Muhammad Ghuri attacked India. Why history of 163years ie 1028 to 1191 is not taught in schools? Why Muslim Invaders kept silent for 163 years?2/5
To further build on Mahmud’s his nephew Salar Masud Ghazni, invaded India with 1 lakh army in 1031.This time, the the intention was not raid,loot and retreat but permanent conquest in India and they were to face a confederation of several Indian kings led by Raja Suhaldev 3/5
June 1033 CE,Sunday Salar Masud was beheaded by Raja Sukhdev. The battle ended with Victory of Raja Suhaldev and his Rajput alliance.
Masud was buried in Bahraich, and in 1035 CE, later a dargah was built for him. 4/5
The invasion was completely crushed and
“such resounding was this victory that none of the Islamic invader from Northwest dared to invade India for 160 years”.
Battle brought Peace for 163 years in India and NO significant mention in History books .Irony! 5/5
