Who was king of England when India let them make them a colony?
Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV
I wish our books taught more about him rather than numerous mamluk invader dynasties like the aibaks etc
Bajirao ? He conquered almost the whole of india
so Indian kings discussion in blind huh? don't you have your Indian community to post these?
I don’t know a lot about Indian military history so didn’t answer but am curious to learn, what is the general Indian consensus on King Porus defeating or getting defeated by Alexander the Great. Is it taught at all in schools? Western culture teaches that Alexander won but had to retreat due to other factors (mutiny, sickness, environment) but I’ve heard a few theories that Alexander lost to Porus and retreated due to it.
It was the latter. Porus beat out Alexander and then he had to rewrite history so that he could go into the books as undefeated Alexanders several generals also entered into alliance with porus and the Indian Confederacy kings by marrying their daughters with them
Ah interesting
Insane to see Akbar, Khilji, Aurnagzeb, Tipu in the list. We live in a country where people worship their former rapists and murders. Every Indian Islamists should remember that their ancestors were raped and butchered to convert them into Islam.
Are these like historic kingdoms, or pop culture icons?
Real history. Did not add any pop culture or mythology or beliefs
