Real history is hardly taught to us in schools, what little is taught covers only Gandhi and Nehru and rest all are limited to single pages or paragraphs without much importance on their works and deeds. That is the reason why so many great and true warriors of India have remained ignored and limited to only their respective regions, except for maybe Peshwa Bajirao I whose songs are still sung and praised in and around Panipat in Haryana. Sadly, Chhatraprati Shivaki Maharaj who was the last great warrior who changed the course of history in many senses is limited only to Maharashtra!

Here is a link that everyone must read:

With all said and done Shivaji as the Hindu ruler who fought the mighty Mughals with his limitations to drive away the invaders who directed all their endeavors to crush Hindus. Shivaji remains in the folios of History as the greatest savior of Hinduism.

 

If Mughals and Ghaznis are not invaders, what are they? They are our friends. Whoever said Muslims are not invaders, they are arguing for argument sake sans sense.

 

If one sleeps with doors of the house open, should the thief only be  blamed for robbing?

Yes. There was a golden era when people used to sleep keeping doors open without fear. Later when Bandicoots started entering from the neighboring areas and eating away the granaries , people not only killed the Bandicoots but closed their doors once and for all.

 

 

There was never an era when people slept keeping their doors open,

May be. That's your opinion. You are entitled for one

I agree. There was never an era when there was no king or police. If everything goes well without anybody committing crimes, there would be no police and probably no king. 

 

Shani nagar a village in the Indian state of Maharashtra is famous for two things. One is for its temple and another one is no house in the village has doors. Despite this no theft was reported in the village.

I also saw this fact on TV. But it appears that there is some belief about bad consequences to the thief, which is deterring factor.

Whatever may be the reason, that it's a fact I responded to a comment above That there is no era where people slept keeping their doors open. Now its left to your discretion

 

 

 

So Shani Nagar is representative of India, which it cannot be.

Who said Shaninagar is representative Of India ? Your comment is irrelevant to the topic.

 

It was you who  brought Shaninagar into the topic and now it is irrelevant. Great.

That's because you said That there no such places where people can sleep peacefully without locking the doors. , you said Is Saninagaer a representative of India. ? That's all, i don't have any thing new to add to this discussion.

 

At least get some facts correct (addressed to everyone involved in this last part of discussion) the name of the town is Shani Shingnapur and not Shaninagar! As it looks like there is nothing substantial anyone is interested in carrying discussion to the topic, I am locking it up!
