Hindu victimhood narratives rest on medieval Muslim invasions

Evidence

Hindus recall a very long history of almost a thousand years of them being subjected to cultural subordination and oppression by Muslims who came to India as invaders. A very large part of historical memories that feed into the perception of victimisation of Hindus relate to the Muslim invasions that took place during the medieval times, in particular, the invasions of such conquerors as Mahmud Ghaznavi and Muhammad Ghori. — R.
