Foreign ruler issue


The views expressed in your daily on June 24 in the "Point-Counter Point" page by Faruque Hasan in his article "The Battle of Palashi" have drawn my attention. He tried to show that both of the warriors were foreigners. For your kind information, Mr. Faruque Hasan, from the beginning of the eleventh century up to 1857, all the Indian emperors were of foreign origin. But the Indian emperors, including the Mughals and others, had huge differences with the East India Company and British Raj. All the Indian emperors loved their empires and tenants, but the East India Company and British Raj didn't.

The British came here for looting our assets. The foreign-origin Indian emperors didn't rob us or take our money away to their forefathers' land.
