We are taught about the Arab invasions. We are almost never taught about the Hindu rulers who stopped their advance.

Dr. Vikram Sampath recounts how Maharaj Lalitaditya and a confederacy of Hindu rulers across Bharat resisted successive Arab campaigns and kept their expansion largely confined to Sindh for centuries. Who were these rulers? Why is their resistance missing from our classrooms? History did not lack heroes. Our textbooks lacked their stories.
