Modern Hindu History
The modern history of Bharat (India) begons with the onset of Islamic
invasions on the frontiers of Gaandhaar (Afghanistan) in 700 A.D. Plunder
and destruction continued for about 1000 years under the banner of Mughal
rule. Along its course, this period witnessed scattered resistance and
challenge to the tyrannical hegemomy from Hindu kings and laymen. The entry
of British traders, their annexation of political power and their exit
from the country took place from about 1700 A.D to 1947 A.D. The annals
of this period proudly record the courage of the Hindus and their struggle
to political independence, which finally was acquired in 1947 A.D., although
at the cost of country's partition.
