The present ruling dispensation in India has made history quite interesting for ordinary people. The RSS and other Hindu right-wing organizations have bizarre claims about Indian history, especially the medieval period which has been increasingly being (mis)used to increase the gulf between two communities in India. An unbiased study of history tells us that several rulers in the past invaded and conquered what we today called the Indian subcontinent. Due to its wealth, the subcontinent had always fascinated occupying armies from central Asia. Mahmud of Ghazni attacked and plundered India several times for the same. Muhammad Ghori defeated Prithvi Raj Chauhan in the second battle of Tarain. After the death of Ghori, Qutb ud-Din Aibak became the ruler of the newly founded kingdom which later became the Delhi sultanate. Zahir-ud-Din Muhammad Babur established the Mughal Empire after vanquishing Ibrahim Lodhi in the first battle of Panipat.
