The referred article seems to start with and glorify the Mughals. Yes, Mughals are part of India’s history, at times quite violent and destructive history, but India existed and had a long Hindu history that the Mughals actively destroyed and post independent India ignored.

Agree 100%
It's perfectly legal to lie in a political ad in Australia.
Companies can't lie about their products, so why can parties lie about their opponent's policies - or their own?
Australia needs national truth in political advertising laws.
