What every Indian should know about the Islamic doctrine that prophesizes Islamic rule over India and the conversion of all Hindus to Islam

As per Tarek Fatah:

The issue of ‘Ghazwa-e-Hind’ (Islam’s Prophetic War against India) came up for discussion on my new talk show in India on Zee News. Two facts emerged: First Islamic clerics didn’t wish to discuss the subject, and then Hindus of India knew next to nothing on this subject.

Before I explain this controversial doctrine that is based on a Hadees (saying) of Prophet Muhammad, it is worth nothing that Indian politicians and academics, as well as men and women of the military, have remained confounded at what they see as the irrational urge among Pakistan’s Military-Mullah Establishment to provoke a war with India despite repeated defeats in 1947-48, 1965, 1971, and 1999.

This fellow uses clever doublespeak to not only use the lecture about ‘Ghazwa-e-Hind’ to spread hatred against Hindus, but also against Jews and Israel while provoking Pakistan Army to be even more radical and anti-India than they already are, taunting them to go further.
