Afghanistan is often called the graveyard of empires, as though it's some inherent property of the land. I think Suri's story proves the property is not of the land, but of the people.
@@HikmaHistory Penn this as well After eight hundred years of islamic occupation bloodshed temple destruction enslavement religious vandalism,what's the end result ? 200 million muslims under Hindu rule in India. Maharaja Modi ji is the greatest khalifah history of Islam No where in the history of Islam has such large numbers of Sunni and Shias forced to tolerate each other as the Muslims of India under Maharaja Modi ji khalifate. Even Saudi Arabia, UAE etc bestowed their highest honour to Maharaja Modi. Poetic justice!
@Who Cares? that’s not entirely true. Their lands were never fully under control and were considered wild lands, or back country. Persians and turko-mongols merely secured trade routes through the passes that mark through their territory into India. They never actually controlled the tribes. Further, evens the control of the caravan routes were tasked to local mercenaries that were paid by persain or Turks. Many so called Turkic dynasties native to the region were have been culturally appropriated to Turks, when they were in fact afghans, such as the Khalaj. Only the mongols controlled some regions and that was after they killed every man, woman and child
I've studied and loved history my whole life, but being born and raised in the u.k it's had a very euro/ America's centric approach for me, interest led me to study East Asia but as for the subcontinent and middle Eastern history, whilst I wouldn't call myself ignorant of it my knowledge is sadly lacking, all this as a roundabout way of saying thank you for providing a seemingly fair and unbiased window into an area of history sadly overlooked by a lot of the world but equally rich and as interesting bas anything else I know of. Please keep up the good work.
Born in Sasaram the place where he was born and i feel his presence all around. He rose through ranks and that inspires us alot .whatever he did is extraordinary
Dude Afghans are everywhere. Bengal was ruled by them for 3 decades after 1545. It’s one of the richest regions on the planet as well, all the maritime trade helped it massively cuz it was a nexus point between India and the Far East
@@HikmaHistory Yes their cannon technology was far superior than their contemporary European monarchs. The tale of their rivalry with Vijaynagara Empire is also very interesting. I recommend you to look into Vijaynagara Kingdom too, Krishnadevaraya was one of the best Indian monarchs.
@@mayankbisht7691 Man, I think most history lovers already learned about Krishdevaraya. He was the strongest ruler at the time. Not even Babur dared to challenge him. But I wanna know more about Pulkeshin
The achievements of this great ruler are taught in every school in Bengal. It's sad, though, that the forts etc. used here as visuals have no connection to Sher Shah
yes .. Hindus were very divided then .. there was too much infighting ..too much caste politics.. it took 16th century for hindus to wake up from sleep..
Hikma history please make a video regarding the origins of Pashtuns. Please, I request you this as a Pashtun belonging to Marwat tribe. If you make this video, you will be my most favourite RU-vidr ever. Cuz there isn't a good video regarding this. Please plzz
@@SherKhan-rd9uw Not entirely true but he would still be considered an Afghan. Not a "pakistani" or any other Indo-Aryan national but an Afghan or Pashtun of Iranic/eastern Iranian stock.
@@ChachiMogo He would be considered Pashtun Even thougb the sur tribe was born modern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Hed still be considerd an Afghan Pashtun are the real afghan. Not tajiks Hazaras uzbeks Turkmen
What an amazing story. Educated A soldier of the Indian subcontinent humiliated the Mughals many times. Invented the Mughal empire. Pakistan 🇵🇰 and Bangladesh 🇧🇩 are worthy custodians to Islamic culture in the Indian subcontinent.
@@imaad2042 AHA I was actually wondering about the beef... Because I came here after watching Al Muqaddimah's "10 Smart & Informative Channels I Love" video lol
Sher shah conquered bangladesh and actually wanted to go eastwards towards burma but humayun fear got the hetter of him and he ended up attacking sher shah sur who defeated him and tookover north india and north paksitan had himayun stayed away sher shah couldve spread islam nore towards the east
muslims in India and Pakistan (subcontinent) should embrace their homeland as their own instead of pretending Hindus only are indigenous and Muslims are foreigners, that they are Arabs and Turks most Muslims in subcontinent are of native blood, this is your land, your history, your Civilization and culture, embrace it
@@imaad2042 brother, for example look at any Muslim wedding in Bangladesh or Kerala or Pakistan, and compare that with those in Iran, there's an Indian Aesthetic to our Weddings. that's just one example, even in mosque architecture, there's massive Persian influence which is beautiful but there's also many Subcontinent influences, for example the beautiful Badshahi Mosque in Lahore, you will notice a Floral design on top of the Domes, that's an Subcontinent motif, that does not exist in Persian or Ottoman mosques. These are only a few examples. Some people want to think acting Persian or Arab means you are more Muslim, I want to say that's misguided. We are also Muslims and we have an age old Culture too, just like Persians and Arabs and Turks :) others will respect us when we begin to respect ourselves
They were Pashtuns buddy. Not persians. the Sur tribe exist today and they are one of our tribe. Sher shah suri even payed those soilders that spoke Pashto higher pay as well ordered them to come and be his genrals and soilders
@@mhilal4901 Persian was the main language then for official use in courts. Sher shah suri was a Pashtun/Pathan not persain king but yeah likewise same case for the Mughals
No. Afghanistan has always been the homeland of the Pashtuns and that can be traced back over 1000 years. It also used to be larger. The southern part of the Pashtun homeland was absorbed into British India in the 1890’s and then that land was included in Pakistan when the British created it in the 1940’s. So the Pashtuns in that region became Pakistani citizens by coincidence. Later on in the 1980’s many Afghans fled to Pakistan to escape the Soviet invasion and many of them remain there as the wars have been ongoing since then. Btw the term is just “Afghan,” not “Afghanistani” lol.
@@MerkhVision well Pakistan was created for Indian Muslims and afghanis/Pashtuns are technically Indian so why wasn’t all of Afghanistani not part of Pakistan??
@@quiasnoorzad Pakistan was created for indian muslim Pashtuns were not involved in the partion as we already lived in our homeland of KP and Afghanistan
Pathan were Rajput but they have been converted into Buddhist & further they were converted by Babar ,Gazani,Ghori, but these Rajput has retain there identity by defeating the Mogal
Rajputs are Indo-Aryans. Pashtuns, if that's what you mean by "Pathan", are an Iranic group. They are not Rajput and and this is the silliest theory I've ever heard. Hopefully, most people in India are more educated on history. Babur did not convert any one. He established a Kingdom in Kabul and from there took over most of India. That's how history goes!
After eight hundred years of islamic occupation bloodshed temple destruction enslavement religious vandalism,what's the end result ? 200 million muslims under Hindu rule in India. Maharaja Modi ji is the greatest khalifah history of Islam No where in the history of Islam has such large numbers of Sunni and Shias forced to tolerate each other as the Muslims of India under Maharaja Modi ji khalifate. Even Saudi Arabia, UAE etc bestowed their highest honour to Maharaja Modi. Poetic justice!
One thing I would like to add was that sher shah suri was a Pakistani Pashtun, his family was from dera ismail khan even his nobles like haibat khan niazi were Pakistan Pashtuns.
