This desert πŸ€ mahmud literally scurried away back to his πŸ’©hole ghazni through deserts of Kutch fearing retribution at the hands of Paramara Bhoja. His army of ghazi πŸ€πŸ€ were mangled to death by the Jats of Sindh while escaping. All this is recorded by his own co-reliogionists
Read more here. Somanatha was immediately restored to an even more grander state by both Bhojadeva & Bhima, while Mandalika, a commander from Somanatha town pursued the ghazi πŸ€ through the deserts & killed many of them as retribution.

Fact : πŸ€ mahmud shat his pyjamas & ran fearing Bhoja. And that was the last time he set foot on India.

This is the problem with how history has been taught in this country for 75 years. Either its complete obfuscation of facts or worse, praise for the invaders. Marxist distorians will never mention anything about Hindu response to marauding invaders.
When πŸ€ mahmud launched war against Anandapala, one of the last Hindu kings of Kabul valley, he sought assistance from other Hindu Kings of India. Bhoja was one of the many kings who sent an army to assist Anandapala realising the threat.
So did Sangramaraja, Hindu ruler of Kashmir. He sent his commander Tunga to assist Trilochanapala, the son of Anandapala in his fight against πŸ€ ghaznavi

Defence mounted by the Hindu kings of India against Ghaznavi is a chapter missing from out textbooks

Evangelical vultures & their zeal to convert Hindus has remained the same for centuries. Here is a vulture Friar John of italy who was sent to India & China to convert natives in the 1290's. He spent around 13 months in India & boasts he baptized around 100 people here.
Early missions to India were a complete & utter failure. Each of these missionaries in their travel account lament how difficult it was to convert Hindus. Chief reason being how attached the Hindu was to his own customs & traditions.

Chiefly murthi puja & reverence for Gaumata.
At the very core of contemporary Hindu religion is Murthi puja & reverence for Gaumata.

You wanna finish off Hinduism as we know it? Strike at these two. Which is exactly what is happening. Never allow to be shamed. Especially on anything related to Gaumata.

Sulaiman al-Tajir, the Persian merchant who traveled to both India & China sometime in the year 850 CE made some interesting observations on both countries.

He starts by saying India is twice the size of China, but not as densely populated. (1)

On differences between how houses were built. Chinese mostly used wood. Indians built houses made of stones, plaster & bricks. (3)

True. An example of this is Hoysala king Veera Ballala. When his capital Dwarasamudra was besieged by barbarian malik kafur, he was willing to trade anything in return for the safety of his people. Everything except his Yajnopavita. He chose to remain a Hindu & fight another day
Veera Ballala who chose to fight another day spent much of his later years uniting the Hindu forces of Southern Bharat to expel turushkas. He'd reorganize his forces at Tiruvannamalai in TN. His sacrifices laid the foundation of the Vijayanagara empire. Ferishta's account.
Ballala's main objective was to rid Madurai of its cruel turushka ruler ghis-ud-din. Ballala fought a very brave war. He had successfully managed to push them further south before a cruel twist of fate that would see him being captured & murdered in the most ghastly manner.
