1/n #Sadarpranam to the Ishvara within you @yusufpore ji.

I'm sorry to disappoint you but, "The Islamic Invasion of India, the biggest hoax in History,"is biggest hoax perpetrated by the likes of you.

I refute your claims in this thread. You may respond with "substance."

2/n You begin with Aryan Invasion to normalize the Islamic invasion (Prof Thapar too calls it migration now).

But the fact the matter is that @NirajRai3 has completely demolished using Genetic Sciences. Dare you to refute his single paper of talk.

3/n Now, before I get into Huns etc, let us set the term for "Invasion" right.
Snippets of Cambridge & Oxford.
The three types are:
a)Using force to take control of another country
b)large no of people get in an unpleasant way
c)an action that affects someone's life unwanted way

4/n You talk of Huns, Scythians, Bactrians, Greeks, Kushans invasions to normalize Islamic Invasion, so @yusufpore lets get into them.

Huns: They are mentioned in Ramayan & Mahabharat which for your eye is myth so let us take discussion around the small period ie history for you

5/n Kidarites were the first set of Huns invading Bharat "as known" in that period. But what type was there invasion?

It was the type 1 and partially type 2, where they forcefully tried to annex a territory in unpleasant way (obviously). But did they force their tradition?

6/n Answer is a big "NO".
We must hear from the primary source.

Chinese pilgrim Fa-hsien while visiting the place described it wealthy Buddhist culture in 400 AD. Zoroastrian ideas had paved a way in but there was no imposition.

Check this source

7/n I can also bring you direct text of Fa-hsien if you wish.

I'm sure that then you @yusufpore will bring the Marxist lie of using Mihirkula account of Hsuan Tsang but you bring it and then I'll tell how badly you have done Historical Analysis on subject.

8/n Next lets pick Scythian, you next name among invaders @yusufpore . Show us one instance from a primary contemporary source where the Sakas destroyed cultural ethos or imposed their?

Same applies to Kushans, Bactrians.

9/n You may hate to hear it, but they all were very much following Indian traditions so there was no killing in the name of religion.

& hence people of India never opposed it as they did against the Europeans and the Turco Mongols.

10/n There is a reason why personalities involved in the revival of Buddhism in India, like Anagarika Dharmapala and even Dr Ambedkar see the Muslim Rule in India as reason for the "decay of Buddhism in India."

Check this web.archive.org/web/2007060705…

& this books.google.co.in/books?id=H4fXA…

11/n & of course by now you @yusufpore would be well aware about Dr Ambedkar's opinion that what destroyed Buddhism in India.

If not, knock my door, I'll help you with relevant pages.

Now let's look at your next tweet, the most laughable one.

https://twitter.com/yusufpore/status/1560911171867541505?s=20&t=BZ9v1dLQJvxDucFfeSQ2Lg

12/n Utbi secretary of Mahmud of Ghazni writes (11th century):
"The blood of the infidels flowed so copiously at Thanesar that the stream was discolored, notwithstanding its purity, & people were unable to drink it. The Sultan returned with plunder which is impossible to count."

13/n Show me one case @yusufpore before advent of Muslim invasion where such mention is done by any non-Muslim invaders.

Utbi's writing reflect of hate for non-Muslims & not just power play as Marxist school always likes to see.

14/n I can cite multiple accounts from primary sources which clearly show how Islamisation and hate against Hindus was prime motives.

Each one had it, Ghazni, Ghori, Mamluk, Timurids and so on.

@yusufpore , pl stop spreading rubbish ideas from Marxist school.

15/n The other contemporary Al-Biruni writes as below:

"Mahmud utterly ruined the prosperity of the country, and performed there wonderful exploits, by which the Hindus became like atoms of dust scattered in all directions, and like a tale of old in the mouth of the people."

16/n For you Mr @yusufpore , let me quote father of great Irfan Habib. He writes as below:
"Mahmud sought to make the plunder of Hindustan a permanent affair."

Was it all? He goes to be even brutal as he says (applies so well on you),

"No honest historian should seek to hide,

17/n "(...)and no Musalman acquainted with his faith will try to justify, the wanton destruction of temples that followed in the wake of the Ghaznavid army. Contemporary as well as later historians do not attempt to veil the nefarious acts but relate them with pride. "

18/n Well he was certainly playing the game of good Muslim and bad Muslim but despite that he didn't mellow down the Mahmud's attack.

Analyzing the works of Utbi, KS Lal about how Mahmud worked on "Islamic Expansion." Read full book here archive.org/details/the-le…

19/n Now @yusufpore before you call KS Lal names, I must keep you informed before hand that he framed his opinion based on primary source, that is works of Utbi.

Citing a few pages from Kitab-i-yamini, translated by Rev. James Reynolds.

20/n Spend time and read whole translation here Spend time and read here archive.org/details/in.ern…

Interestingly, you say that the interaction between Buddhists & the Arabs was quite peaceful in Sindh.

https://twitter.com/yusufpore/status/1560911200451698688?s=20&t=BZ9v1dLQJvxDucFfeSQ2Lg

21/n But truth is that we have no primary source of that period & what Islam did to Buddhism latter certainly can't let us trust your opinion or even that of Johan Elverskog, as none of you have "Primary Source." I'm sure you know what is "Primary Source."

22/n Truth is that if you believe in Covenant of Umar it is hard to believe that Arabs won't have asked for Jizya.

Truth is that authenticity of Umar's pact is always doubted but does tradition of Islam doubts it @yusufpore ?

23/n Well, let me tell you something Yusuf ji, which may hurt you a bit.

But, there is absolutely no primary source to establish if a 17 year old Qasim ever defeated mighty empire of Sindh. Forget tolerance or intolerance.

https://twitter.com/yusufpore/status/1560911207917580289?s=20&t=BZ9v1dLQJvxDucFfeSQ2Lg

24/n @yusufpore what is source to know about Qasim?

He invaded in 712 AD, right?

But for the first time conquest of Sindh is spoken about in 892 AD under Abbasid Patronage by al-Baladhuri but no bio of Qasim.

180 years, Why?

25/n The first time biographical sketch appears in history of al-Tabari in 839 AD, next in 898 AD by al-Ya'qubi.

Then Kitab al-Aghani of Abu al-Faraj al-Isfahan has mention in late tenth century. Following which we have Chachnama with a big catch.

26/n The Chachnama as have it today is work of ʿAlī b. Ḥāmid b. Abī Bakr Kūfī (in Persian)who"claimed"to be translating Arabian.

No one has seen the Arabian Work. So why so scholarly @yusufpore should even believe in it? Do you believe in oral tradition of Hindus for History?

27/n Haha, you blame Hindutva subscribing folks to be presenting data without source.

But where are your primary source for first claims till before the tweet of Sindh? Though I gave primary source which shows you as a liar.

https://twitter.com/yusufpore/status/1560911230474555392?s=20&t=BZ9v1dLQJvxDucFfeSQ2Lg

28/n You talk about the Sanskrit inscription of Ghazni and shamelessly also quote what is inscribed.

For Hindu it is impossible to see Muhammad as an avatar (manifestation) and Ghazni had simply done so to convert and insult Hindus.

https://twitter.com/yusufpore/status/1560911239580381184?s=20&t=BZ9v1dLQJvxDucFfeSQ2Lg

29/n It is not matter of Sanskrit but the content in it. Ghazni deliberately chose to write it in Sanskrit to insult Hindus and I have already cited the Utbi in earlier tweets who clearly shows that Mahmud was all against Hindus and wanted to Islamise India.

30/n You @yusufpore want Hindus to see Muhammad as manifestation but can Muslims see Trimurti as their God?

I agree that the number is exaggerated but do you think Timur was good and had no zeal to islamise?

I'll talk about Timur in sometime.

https://twitter.com/yusufpore/status/1560911248589750277?s=20&t=BZ9v1dLQJvxDucFfeSQ2Lg

31/n @yusufpore ji lesser we talk of Timur the better it is for your narrative.
Yazdi notes in Zafarnama (snippet from translation by Darby) that Timur's sole purpose right from birth to death was to wage war against enemies of Islam as taught by MD (pbuh)
