Legacy

By the end of his reign, his empire extended from Kurdistan in the west to Samarkand in the northeast, and from the Caspian Sea to the Yamuna. Although his raids carried his forces across Indian sub-continent, only the Punjab and Sindh, modern Pakistan, came under his permanent rule; Kashmir, the Doab, Rajasthan and Gujarat remained under the control of the local Rajput dynasties.

The wealth brought back to Ghazni was enormous, and contemporary historians (e.g. Abolfazl Beyhaghi, Ferdowsi) give glowing descriptions of the magnificence of the capital, as well as of the conqueror's munificent support of literature. he transformed Ghazni into one of the leading cities of Central Asia, patronizing scholars, establishing colleges, laying out gardens, and building mosques, palaces, and caravansaries.

On April 30, 1030, Sultan Mahmud died in Ghazni, at the age of 59 years. Sultan Mahmud had contracted malaria during his last invasion. The medical complication from malaria had caused lethal tuberculosis. He had been a gifted military commander, and during his rule, universities were founded to study various subjects such as mathematics, religion, the humanities, and medicine&. Islam was the main religion of his kingdom and the Perso-Afghan dialect Dari was made the official language.

The Ghaznavid Empire was ruled by his successors for 157 years, but after Mahmud it never reached anything like the same splendour and power. The expanding Seljuk Turkish empire absorbed most of the Ghaznavid west. The Persian Ghorids captured Ghazni c. 1150, and Muhammad Ghori captured the last Ghaznavid stronghold at Lahore in 1187. The Ghaznavids went on to live as the Nasher-Khans in their home of Ghazni until the 20th century.

Pakistan today has named one of its medium-range missiles in honour of him.

the diplomat wrote : And sooner or later The Naiz Regime would vanish in the end.

how do you  come to such a conclusion ?

the diplomat:If I were a German , I would not be grateful to the Red Army

the germans had to be greatful to all who saved the german people of the nazi-babarism. and of course the red army was not the best organisation to show them , how democraty works , but obviously the fighting labours and countrymen were brave enough to withstood the "predominant arian race".

No more than the Turkish army which liberated Izmir were arsonists.

'Advance of Communism' and 'liberation from the Nazi regime' are the same thing in this context.

Sooner or later mankind will become extinct, as well.

Well, if you look at the photo closely, you'll see that you couldn't resist this invasion. 

1- You can not compare oranges to apples

2-You can not escape from the reality by putting blame on the others

3-That was a very poor counter-argument for your side

Hmmm,not for the Poles,The Baltic Peoples I think...

Sooner or later you might get a warning for hijacking as well

I could. Ever heard of the Turkish Independence War?

What about the invasion of Poland?

What about the winter war with Finland?

What about the invasion of Romania?

It was the Red Army which was the agressor.

and my friend,

What about turning a blind eye to the warsaw uprising of 1944 whereas The Poles was considering that The Red Army would help them fighting the Nazis?

Sooner or later you might get a warning for hijacking,insulting on this forum as well

And who's gonna give me that warning? You?  

Btw, I find it quite funny that you added 'insulting' there, to make your feeble threat more believable in the eyes of others.

You said you don't consider the Red Army liberators, which means you are pro-Nazi. Therefore, my comment 'you couldn't resist this invasion'. I am not surprised at all that you needed an explanation. 

[quote=Komnenos]the invasion of Finland and Romania was not exactly a glorious chapter, but in view of the fascist danger amssing on Soviet borders a somewhat understable over-reaction. But those were only side-issues, and the "Great Patriotic War" was foremost that, an attempt to first defend against the agression of and then to liberate the Soviet-Union from Nazi-Germany[/quuote]

Fascist antonescu of Romania?

Do you really believe that Romania had had an intention to invade Moscow, and hence The Soviet Union used the pre-emtive strike doctrine?

The Red ARmy attacks on both Finland and Romania in the first phase of the war are  BY NO MEANS justifiable.

And Komnenos, The Red ARmy did not only rape the German women,but also Russian women found in the forced labour camps of Germany. So revenge rhetoric is also invalid.

I understand you guys...The fact that The Red Army defeated the Wehrmacht and The Nazis makes you guys legendize this army in your mind....

For me the army of Alexander I which ''liberated'' Paris ,and the army of Stalin which ''liberated'' Berlin served the same purpose: the Russian Imperialism.

Given the barbarization of warfare conducted by the both armies,humanist rhetoric related with the Red army does not have any valid ground.
