I love the downvotes for correcting some ridiculous nationalistic propaganda (that India has never attacked anyone in 3000 years). I guess that's what they are teaching in Indian schools today.

(Pre-colonial Indian history is currently a passion of mine.)

EDIT: and here come more downvotes.

You might have a point to make but it is your tone that is getting you the downvotes. If Pre-colonial Indian history is your passion, the least you can do is to think and analyze before making generic comments like "battleground" without adding any relevant context. Besides, you talked about the India/Pak border "firing" issues which is so complicated even for the citizens of those countries to understand that relating it to "attacking" in general is not fair.

If it's the tone, fine (kinda doubt it). But his reaction to propagandistic bullshit like that is understandable and justified.

You have my upvotes, Steve.
