<p>When Alexander invaded India in 326 BCE and stayed in Taxila, he happened to meet</p>

<p>Hindu sages well versed in the true ancient Indian philosophy and the impact was truly</p>

<p>long-lasting.</p>

<p>Vijayanagara Kingdom was the epitome of great Hindu culture and civilisation. IT was</p>

<p>the most militarized Hindu kingdom, but its geography defeated it as it was surrounded</p>

<p>by five Islamic sultanates, who joined hands and the result was indeed spine chilling.</p>

<p>There has been a mighty warrior in Assam, who defeated the powerful Mughals in 1671</p>

<p>by excellent use of the topography, wily diplomatic negotiations, military intelligence,</p>

<p>guerilla tactics and psychological warfare.</p>

<p>In its 3000 years old history, the jewel was never bought and sold. Whenever it changed</p>

<p>hands, it brought the worst in the man to the fore leaving gory mayhem, abject violence</p>

<p>and deep sadness in its train and brought havoc.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Khilafat Movement was a pan-Islamist political protest campaign, launched by</p>

<p>Indian Muslims to restore the caliph of the Ottoman Caliphate. It later became a catalyst</p>

<p>in establishing the separate Muslim state which resulted in the death of approximately 10</p>

<p>lakh people and more than one crore people were displaced. Its reverberations are still</p>

<p>felt in India.</p>
