Padmavati: Stories from buried history

by Vashi Sharma, Sanjeev Newar

This is a collection of short cinematic stories from forgotten history of India, that would send chills down the spine. An Indian kid learns dangerously strange things in name of history in schools. A narrative that is shoved down their throats is that Hindus were ruled by Islamic invaders for 1000 years. Invasion of Islamic attackers has been termed as their rule and their tyrant regimes have been glorified as great examples of Hindu-Muslim composite culture. While the invaders are presented as saviours, the real heroes - the children of soil who fought the former out all along to regain freedom have been wiped off completely from history books. Did you know 1. A Hindu queen made Muhammad Ghori 'the conquerer’ run for his life till Multan, today’s Pakistan! 2. On Maharani Padmavati’s orders, a Rajput Commander single-handedly defeated mini-army of Sultan Aladdin Khilji before latter begged him naked for life! 3. Another Hindu queen defeated Sultan Shah Jahan repeatedly and sent the defeated Mughal armies back with cut-noses! 4. A Rajput escorted his Prince and queens to Jodhpur defeating Aurangzeb’s massive armies on his way back from Delhi putting 300 Spartans of ancient Greece to shame! 5. There was a Hindu commander whom Mughals feared as ghost who could win battles against Allah's will! 6. There was a Rajput whom Mughals had to capture in lion’s cage because his built scared Mughals! 7. Whole Pathan army once surrendered to a Hindu Khalsa commander without even fighting! 8. A Hindu Khalsa commander won all territory dominated by invaders till Afghanistan in 19th century! 9. When British came, Lahore, Peshawar, Rawalpindi and most of today’s Pakistan were under Hindu rule! and lot more… This book will restore the glory and self-esteem that you might have lost thanks to the wrong history taught in schools. Read these stories to your kids before they are programmed to believe themselves as slaves of centuries. Truth is shockingly different. Make them brave with true history before false school history makes them mental slaves.

This book is a collection of the brave history of our ancestors that will make you both proud and teary-eyed. I am proud that I was aware of almost every brave ancestor mentioned here, except for two or three.
It is shameful that these pages of our history have been torn out, as if they never existed. What’s even more shameful is that our generation will either never read about them, or just shrug them off like any other story.
We are so divided now — one section will never believe this history and will mock those who do, while another section will believe, feel proud and emotional, but then a sudden wave of helplessness will take over.
Even today, when the same actions once committed by invaders are being repeated before our very eyes, we still choose to ignore them or give them the benefit of doubt. If we cannot recognize even what is happening in front of us, we are truly doomed.
Our ancestors would never have imagined that the very people they sacrificed for would become so blind, detached from their nation, their faith, their history, living only for their own gains, and blind to the threats around them — so lost.

This book is simple to read, yet it shakes you from within.
I will surely explore more works by the author.

Waste of money

This book is written by a hindu fanatic who has listened to their mother and grandmother telling tales when they were a child. They do not have any basis in fact but are legends passed down by word of mouth. As a person who is neither hindu nor muslim i still cannot stomach this writing and have stopped reading after 3 stories

बकलोली भरी पुस्तक है, इसे ना ही पढ़ा जाए तो अच्छा है। इस स्तर की बकलोली तो आपको मनोहर कहानियां पढ़ते हुए भी नहीं मिलेंगी। लेखन को शर्मसार करे इतना घटिया लेखन है इस पुस्तक का।
