all this jingoistic talk of ghaznavi kicking hindu ass is funny. he did kick some serious ass, right from ghazni to somnath in the rann of kutch, all along the plains of the indus - the region that is now pakistan. the rich agricultural land of the punjab fed the kingdom of ghazni for two decades.
and for my friend marwati, this turkic king who ruthlessly conquered southern afghanistan has left a bigger legacy than any of his pashtoon subjects. ;-)
