We must regain the old Bharat, not Hindustan, not India, but Bharat. We must reclaim Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Burma, Nepal, and Bhutan. The Muslims must be given ultimatum. See the only thing that has worked against the Muslim invaders is the Christian Crusade. We must have a Hindu Crusade. All Muslims in Bharat can pack bags and return to the Arab world or convert to the religion of their ancestors - Hinduism. Check out the history of Christian Crusade in Spain on YouTube. The Christian''s aren''t ashamed of it. It will be late awakening of Hindus, but it will be rightly justified.
