Kipling's Poem on Hindu Maratha valour at Panipat 1761, is eerily similar to a Muslim Turkic poem about their invasion of Mauryan Kingdom of Khotan:
"We came down on them like a flood!
We went out among their cities!
We tore down the idol-temples!
We shat on the Buddha's head!"
"We came down on them like a flood!
We went out among their cities!
We tore down the idol-temples!
We shat on the Buddha's head!"
The Kingdom of Khotan in Tarim Basin (China) was established by Hindu Kshatriya Prince Kushtana Maurya, son of Priyadarshin Maurya. The kingdom was Hindu up till 200 CE.
