El Cid: the "medieval anti-racist"! Lefties are very eager to claim him as their own and impose their fantasies of pluralism on him. Even the Heston movie has El Cid wondering aloud why Christians and Muslims can't just get along. This is the same guy who says in The Song of the Cid (probably written in the 12th or early 13th century): "Look at my bloody sword and my horse dripping sweat: this is how you beat the Moors, in war!" And "In far-off Morocco, inside their mosques, they hear me coming in the darkness and they tremble." As for readings (in English), they are somewhat limited: - The Song of the Cid (national epic of Spain) - Historia Roderici (short primary source, found in The World of El Cid: Chronicles of the Spanish Reconquest) - Ch 2 of Ibrahim's Defenders of the West (dismantles the arguments about "just a mercenary" who fought for and against both Christians and Muslims) I've not read it yet, but up next for me is The Cid and His Spain by Pidal.

Absolutely correct! Glorifying Ranjit Singh is misplaced narrow ethnic chauvinism, which has no place in Quaid-e-Azam’s pluralistic Pakistan Federation! Bhagat Singh is an authentic subcontinental hero, a revolutionary & fighter for freedom against British colonialism, for whom Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah raised his voice in Central Legislative Assembly in September 1929 in defence of Bhagat Singh, while Gandhi maintained a studied silence on this issue! Bhagat Singh, who was hanged in Lahore Jail on 23 March, 1931, deserves to be eulogised with a statue, rather than Ranjit Singh!
