Yoga and Ayurveda are still relevant in many parts of the world and are not just specific to Hindu Nationalists. While the term "Islamic invasion" is not exactly correct, there is a dedicated Wiki page for Muslim conquests in the Indian subcontinent:

Since we are talking semantics seriously, even the British didn't "invade" India, they colonized it.

You are trying to buildup contentious straw-men.

As pointed out, India's history and glory predates Muslims and Islam by thousands of years.

The difference between "Islamic Invasion" and the "British Invasion" was that the former (for all its negatives) ultimately became part of Indian society and contributed to it while the British systematically siphoned off all resources from India to their land to the detriment of the local populace. Millions died, Millions more were reduced to poverty with no way to build themselves up and the direct result can still be seen in today's India.

PS: Read the books and articles that i have linked to in this thread for some more info.

Indian civilization is dates back to over 3000 years before Muslim rule... It had "status" long before Mahmud of Ghazni or the Delhi Sultanate.

> And India only gained status after its Muslim rule

I call big bullshit on this one. India had status on its own right. It was called Bharat, and before that Aryavarta and before that Jambudweepa. One of the many names of Ancient India. Islam did not even exist during this time. Islamic invasion happened purely because of India's status. The objective was three fold: Destroy idols, monuments and temples, rape the women and plunder the wealth. Many were converted by force and many sacrificed their lives fighting. Read the haunting stories of Hindu Kush and why it is called that and you will get your answers. Visit the temples that lie in ruin in various parts of India, the most famous site being Hampi of erstwhile Vijayanagara Empire that was completely destroyed due to invasions. Do not even dare try to whitewash this genocide of Hindus and Hindu culture by giving it a "status". There is no status that can be given to massacres carried out to destroy a civilization. What happened to Hindus during the Islamic rule was worse than what happened to Jews during the Nazi regime.

All Abrahamic religions are modern compared to Sanathan Dharma which is one of the last surviving Ancient civilization. Most of the other civilizations either perished on their own or were destroyed systematically by Abrahamic religions. These are recorded facts. Not recorded by Hindus but by those who committed the atrocities. From Genghis Khan, to Aurangzeb all the way to the British (Bengal Famine) and Portuguese (Goa Inquisition). Everyone committed grave atrocities on Hindus for which there hasn't even been recognition let alone an apology. Yet Hindus did not retaliate in kind. So I call bullshit on everything you just uttered.

This is not "Hindu Nationalism". This is facts. And facts hurt.

"clearly gives you away as a Hindu nationalist."
