Islam - Indian Story

Jennifer ,

This is to let the world know about the best sources to understand the devastating impact of islam on Indian civilisation :

Voice of India Publications - Especially Books written by Sitaram Goel and Arun Shourie. Francois Gautier, David Frawley and Koenraad Elst are the other writers that have written authentically on the subject.

Moral of the story is profound. As Professor of History, Dr. Will Durant wrote in History of Civilsation, Volume 1, "...the Islamic conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. It is a discouraging tale, for its evident moral is that civilization is a precious good, whose delicate complex order and freedom can at any moment be overthrown by barbarians invading from without and multiplying from within."

India has still not recovered from the blows delivered by islam for a millenium.
