GZ, be careful what you joke about. They take this kind of stuff rather seriously over in that part of the world... uky.edu Before the Sikh and Mahrattas triumphed they had to suffer at the hands of two more Muslim invaders. In 1739, the Persian Nadir Shah looted Delhi and massacred more than 100,000 men, women and children. He took with him the Peacock Throne, India’s famous diamond, the Koh-i-Noor ( "mountain of light"). The Afghan, Ahmed Shan Durani, followed Nadir Shah and sacked Delhi more than once. Twice he blew up the Sikh temple at Amritsar and filled the pool surrounding the shrine with the entrails of cows. The Sikhs returned the compliment by defiling mosques. They forced the Afghans they had taken prisoners to wash the floors of the mosques with the blood of pigs.
