Bakht Khan Rohilla, the hero of 1857 war India

This article doesnt have a single reference. Its all wikipedia-based.

But as we all know who Bakhat Khan was, i fail to understand why do you link him ultimately to Afghanis/Pashtuns?

He was a born Indian. He was born in Rohilkhand, Uttar Pradesh, India. He was raised there and late he served in British Army.

Do you mean to say that everybody who has "Khan" before or after his name is Afghani and all his successes should be attributed to Pashtuns or Afghanis living thousands of miles away from him, who he never met in his life even? This is NOT Afghan/Pathan/Pashtun history. This is Indian history and the guy was a born Indian.

You need to study more about Rohilla Afghans, their history of settlement in Rohilkhund. A famous pashto book tareekh e hafiz rehmat khani was written by a Rohilla

Rohillas were made settled in Uttar Predash by Aurangzeb who wanted to keep a pressure on Rajputs.

Rohillas or Rohilla Afghanis didnt come from Aghanistan with swords in hands and fighting and conquering. They were brought there, awarded that piece of land by the Mughal Emperor. Once they were settled there they couldnt be called "Afghanis" anymore. Again this is not the history of AFGHANS, neither the successes of Afghans.

Remember, only those parts of history could be called PASHTUN history where PASHTUNS as independent force or army had conquered India or other countries and you cant bring many of such examples but only a couple.

All you're mentioning here through a website that took contents from wikipedia, are successes of those Pathans who came in India and then settled here. They'd become natives.

Gimme a single event in history where AFGHANS or PATHANS began their expedition from AFGHANISTAN and came in India and conquered it. On the contrary i can give you many examples where Afghanistan was conquered by Mughal Emperors.

This is manipulation of history aimed only at getting fake glorification for Pashtun tribes.

Did Pashtoons ever create a breathtaking piece of poetry or literature; any work in sciences, medicine, engineering or anything that has ever benefited humanity in any shape or form?

What?

Where do Afghans come?

That was a battle between Central Asian Babur who had captured Afghanistan and Ibrahim Lodhi who belonged the Lodhi tribe but his great great gandfather had settled in Multan long before this war.

How can you tag it as "Afghans vs Mughals"?
Lodhi tribe is also an afghan or Pathan tribe who came to central subcontinent decades ago before the battle of panipat.So indirectly it was Mughal vs Afghans
