{"This destroyed the power of the horse and the sword and the military effectiveness of barbaric Islamic warriors who love death more than they love life, tilting the advantage decisively in favour of settled peoples."}

AlephNull,
Very good analysis, except for one puzzling mystery, sir.
(T)
WHY WAS IT THAT THE INVADING HORDES OF TURKS AND MONGOLS WERE THE MAIN BUILDERS OF SETTLED CITIES IN INDIA FOR ITS "SETTLED" NATIVE PEOPLES? THERE WERE NOT THAT MANY GREAT OR EVEN NOT-SO-GREAT CITIES IN INDIA BEFORE THE INVASIONS. *-)

Chuha's simple mind is also incapable on chronological thought; the invaders did not build cities, their settled descendants did. The decadent descendants of the settlers lost to later invaders and so on.

And Salim is proved to be not just mentally unstable but an idiot as well.

Gadhey ki gaand, just because you learned history in some lower middle class Urdu Medium school does not mean that the reality of the past will adjust itself to your world view 8-|

Go and do some study on Magadha and Pataliputra.
