Gauri will come again: Lessons from the pages of history to the present

(Are we repeating the same mistake with Pakistan too?)

- 

History's mistake: Prithviraj Chauhan defeated and spared the life of Mohammad Ghori in the first battle of Tarain in 1191.

But in 1192, Ghori attacked again and defeated Chauhan, changing the geography of the entire Indian subcontinent. Are we repeating the same mistake today by repeatedly apologizing?

History is a living story in itself, which warns us from time to time. The mistake of ignoring it becomes the biggest reason for the downfall of a civilization. The example of Prithviraj Chauhan is perfect proof of this. Repeated apologies and the mistake of showing mercy to the enemy ended an empire. This is not only the story of medieval India, but this context is equally relevant in today's era as well.

Prithviraj Chauhan: The Mistake of a Brave King Historians believe that Prithviraj Chauhan was famous for his valor and indomitable courage. He displayed unparalleled valor in many battles, but when it came to Mohammed Ghori, his tendency to forgive cost him dearly. In the first battle of Tarain in 1191, Chauhan defeated Ghori and made a grave mistake by sparing his life. The very next year, in 1192, Ghori attacked again and this time succeeded in defeating Chauhan. This was the moment that changed the history of the Indian subcontinent forever.
