Far from that. First there is a distinction between Afghan and Turks. Turks looted and destroyed Afghans. Turks came from Central Asia. Afghans are well Afghanis. Turks and Mongols destroyed and ruled Middle East , North Africa and South Asia for 500 + years. Read about mongols sack of baghdad.The Siege of Baghdad, occurring from January 29 until February 10, 1258, entailed the investment, capture, and sacking of Baghdad, the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate, by Ilkhanate Mongol forces and allied troops. The Mongols were under the command of Hulagu Khan, brother of the khagan Möngke Khan, and had intended to further extend their rule into Mesopotamia but not to directly overthrow the Caliphate. They were pagans and Buddhists. Now, Afghans were not allowed to enter India. Turks though ruled rom India to North Africa.
But Rajputs defeated them many times. Infact it led to the downfall of Turks in 1206 and rise of Rajputana.
The break-up of the Gurjara-Pratihara empire led to a phase of political uncertainty in north India. As a result, little attention was paid to the emergence of the aggressive and expansionist Turks.
Muhammad of Ghori attacked Prithviraj 16 times but defeated. Only in the 17th time; generally considered the second time between Prithviraj and Ghori did he decieved and defeated Chauhan. He was later killed by the blind Chauhan though.
After Ghori, Iltutmish came and established Slave dynasty. They were the same Mamluks who destroyed Islamic and ROman empires but failed to destroy India. He despatched an expedition against the Chalukyas of Gujarat but it was repelled with losses. In 1239 AD, Rajiya; Iltutmish's daughter the next ruler was killed by Indian bandits.
The so called islam-powered Khilji (Afghans) ruled for just 30 years and were killed by their own.
The next were Tughluqs. 1334. They were successively defeated by the Pandyan kingdom (Madurai); this was followed by Warangal. In 1336 the Vijayanagara empire and in 1337 the Bahamani kingdom were founded after defeating Tughlaks and snatching their lands. Don't forget here that Rajputana remained independent till the late 20th century!
1398: Timur came, destroyed Tughluqs. Critically they had converted to Islam and that made a lot of difference. After all, we don't consider Indo-Greeks and Indo-Hunas as invaders.
After Timur, came Mughal(Mongol) empire.
But do remember that the majority and original Mongols are still buddhists and worship Hindu Gods too. They live in Mongolia.
So, this is the answer to those who try to paint us and our religion and our country as loser!
