In his book Histoire de l'Inde the French historian Alain Danielou writes: From the moment when the Muslims arrive in India, the history of India does not have any more great interest.

Islamic conquest of Afghanistan: Encyclopedia II - History of Afghanistan - History of Afghanistan

Afghanistan's history, internal political development, foreign relations, and very existence as an independent state have largely been determined by its geographic location at the crossroads of Central, West, and South Asia. Over the centuries, waves of migrating peoples passed through the region--described by historian Arnold Toynbee as a "roundabout of the ancient world"--leaving behind a mosaic of ethnic and linguistic groups. In modern times, as well as in antiquity, vast armies of the world passed through this region of Asia, temporarily est ...
