A revival of Sarnath would be a welcome step.
Buddhist monasteries at Sarnath flourished alongside Hindu Benares.
The Deer and King story of the Jataka Tales comes from Sarnath.

This so called historian, always dwelling in the forest of ignorance with regards to Maratha history has provided us another example.

Chhatrapati Shivaji can belong to any caste, he would still be mleccha kshay dikshit and his greatness undimmed.
Still coming to the question at hand

Here is Shahji Raje before the time of Chhatrapati Shivaji.
Gagabhatt was a MARATHI BRAHMIN.

Tipu attacked the Maratha town of Nargund , imprisoned the ruler , forcibly converted Hindus and committed atrocities on the female population.

That was the trigger for first Maratha attack on Tipu around 1785.

For some reason, Battles of the Maratha Empire is not showing up on Amazon's search.

The book charts the rise and fall of the Maratha Empire through a series of important battles and campaigns.

Here is the link :

amazon.in/Battles-Marath…
Battles of the Maratha Empire is well into its second edition , it has over twenty maps and contemporary letters to go with the text.

Praise for the book : Image

First attack on Somnath was by an Arab - Junaid Ibn Al Marri in 725 AD.

It was rebuilt by Nagabhatta II in 815 AD.
Whole article is a bunch of jokes.

🤣🤣
According to Commies, miniature paintings and few elaborate tombs outweigh destruction of temples and wholescale conversions. 👏👏

Aswaklanta temple, Assam.

Current structure built by Shiva Singha in 1720 AD.

Believed to be the place where Shri Krishna halted when he arrived to battle with Narkasur.

Aswa Klanta = Horse Halt. Image
Another theory - Cavalry assembled for helping Abhimanyu halted here.

(Seems a long shot)
Narkasur descendant - Bhagadutta - married his daughter to Duryodhana and fought on side of Kauravas in Mahabharata.
