What you write is a noble goal. The complete extinguishing of Muslims could not take place because most of the Indian states  were of lesser economic means compared to the muslims. 

Why all Hindus did not unite to put up a common front? Multiple reasons. Lack of good leaders at oppurtune times.

This is not just a noble goal. This is survival of our civilization and way of life.
It is the structure of our society in the medieval time which made them what they did.

Winning few battles and getting back the kingdoms is not enough.
The plan and the fight to eliminate the enemy in their land is the final goal.

Hello Acharya,

Couple of things:
a) We have to be proud of medieveal Indians because they did not let India converted to Islam as these Islamic invaders were able to achieve in Iran etc. This is a very important point that most of us including historians have a hard time understanding.

b) After all the "lessons learnt" is modern India a country where everyone thinks alike w.r.t the defences of India both within and on the border?

My answer to b) is No.
