[JaneSmith105]

Mahmud of Gaznavi	Location	(From the accounts of arikh-i-Yamini of Utbi the secretary of Mahmud of Gaznavi)
	At Thaneshwar.	"The blood of the infidels flowed so copiously at Thanesar that the stream was discolored, not withstanding its purity, and people were unable to drink it. The Sultan returned with plunder which is impossible to count. Praise be to Allah for the honor he bestows on Islam and Muslims."
	At Somnath	"The Muslims paid no regard to the booty till they had satiated themselves with the slaughter of the infidels and worshipers of sun and fire.... The number of infidels killed exceeded 50,000"
	At Mathura	"The infidels...deserted the fort and tried to cross the foaming river...but many of them were slain, taken or drowned... Nearly fifty thousand men were killed."

Mahmud bin Qasim	Location
	Sindh:	"...he levelled the temple and circumsised every Kaffir which they resented. So he caused every Kaffir from age of seventeen and upwards to be put to death; tthe young women and children of both sexes were retained in bondage"

Mahmud of Ghori & Qutbuddin Aibak	Location	from Hasan Nizami's Taj-ul-Maasir
	Kol (Modern Aligarh)	"those of the horizon who were wise and acute were converted to Islam, but those who stood by their ancestoral faith were slain with the sword"
	Kol (Modern Aligarh)	20,000 prisoners were taken and made slaves 'Three bastions were raised as high as heaven with their heads and their carcases became food for the beasts of prey
	Kalinjar	50,000 prisoners were taken as slaves
	Varnasi or Kasi (Benaras) :	Kamil-ut-Tawarikh of Ibn Asir records, "The slaughter of Hindus (at Varanasi) was immense; none were spared except women and children,(who were taken into slavery) and the carnage of men went on until the earth was weary."

Ikhtiyaruddin Bakhtiyar Khalji	Location
	Nalanda	Destroyed Nalanda
	Nalanda	Nalanda the great Buddhist center of learning philosophy and other secular crafts flourished under the Hindu rule of Guptas. In fact, under Gupta rule it reached its zenith. Today it stands ruined, its magnificent library burnt because it contained not Quran and its monks slaughtered by 'the sword of Islam'. To this day the state where this great temple of education stands ruined suffer from illiteracy and poverty proving that the pseudo-secular rule today is no different from Medieval Islamic rule.
	Nalanda	Massacred Buddhist monks

Sultan Firuz Shah Tughlaq	Location	(from Insha-i-Mahry by Amud Din Abdullah bin Mahru)
	Delhi	(after Hindus paid the toleration tax (zar-i zimmiya) and poll-tax(jizya) they were foolish enough to build their temples.So...) "...Under divine guidance I (Sultan) destroyed these temples and I killed the leaders of these infedility and others I subjected to stripes and chastisement "
	Delhi: -a punishment in detail-(From Tarikh-i-Firuz Shahi)	"A report was brought to the Sultan than there was in Delhi an old Brahman who persisted in publicly performing the worship of idols in his house and that people of the city, both Muslims and Hindus used to resort to his house to worship the idol. The Brahman had constructed a wooden tablet which was covered within and without with paintings of demons and other objects. An order was accordingly given to the Brahman and was brought before Sultan.The true faith was declared to the Brahman and the right course pointed out. but he refused to accept it. A pile was risen on which the Kaffir with his hands and legs tied was thrown into and the wooden tablet on the top. The pile was lit at two places his head and his feet. The fire first reached him in the feet and drew from him a cry and then fire completley enveloped him. Behold Sultan for his strict adherence to law and rectitude."
	Gohana (Haryana)	"Some Hindus had erected a new idol-temple in the village of Kohana and the idolaters used to assemble there and perform their idolatrous rites. These people were seized and brought before me. I ordered that the perverse conduct of these leaders of this wickedness be punished by publicly abd that they should be put to deathe before the gate of the palace."

	Orissa:'Sirat-i-Firoz Shahi' records his expedition with the following words:	"nearly 100,000 men of Jajnagar had taken refuge with their women, children, kinsmen and relations The swordsmen of Islam turned the island into a basin of blood by the massacre of the unbelievers. Women with babies and pregnant ladies were haltered, manacled, fettered and enchained, and pressed as slaves into service in the house of every soldier."

Sultan Sikandar Butshikan of Kashmir	Location	from Hasan Nizami's Taj-ul-Maasir

Ala-ul-Din Khilji	Location	Kambayat:Abdulla Wassaf writes in his Tazjiyat-ul-Amsar wa Tajriyat
		he killed the adult male Hindu inhabitants for the glory of Islam, set flowing rivers of blood, sent the women of the country with all their gold, silver, and jewels, to his own home, and made about twenty thousand maidens his private slaves.
	Chitoor	More than 20,000 Hindu women including Rani Padmini self-immolated themselves to escape sex-slavery in the hands of Muslim rulers.
		Muslim priests Qazi adviced Khilji on how to conduct his non-Muslim subjects. Here is such a recorded advice: Hindus are like the mud; if silver is demanded from them, they must with the greatest humility offer gold. If a Mohammadan desire to spit into a Hindu's mouth, the Hindu should open it wide for the purpose. God created the Hindus to be slaves of the Mohammadans. The Prophet hath ordained that, if the Hindus do not accept Islam, they should be imprisoned, tortured, finally put to death, and their property confiscated.

Timur	Location	His invasion of Hindustan: His Tuzk-i-Timuri records
		"In a short space of time all the people in the fort were put to the sword, and in the course of one hour the heads of 10,000 infidels were cut off. The sword of Islam was washed in the blood of the infidels, and all the goods and effects, the treasure and the grain which for many a long year had been stored in the fort became the spoil of my soldiers. They set fire to the houses and reduced them to ashes, and they razed the buildings and the fort to the ground.... All these infidel Hindus were slain, their wives and children were made prisoners and their property and goods became the spoil of the victors ...I proclaimed throughout the camp that every man who had infidel prisoners should put them to death, and whoever neglected to do so should himself be executed and his property given to the informer. When this order became known to the ghazis of Islam, they drew their swords and put their prisoners to death. One hundred thousand infidels, impious idolators, were on that day slain. Maulana Nasiruddin Umar, a counselor and man of learning, who, in all his life, had never killed a sparrow, now, in execution of my order, slew with his sword fifteen idolatrous Hindus, who were his captives."

The fate of Hindu women captured alive by Muslims was worse than death. Even as their fathers, husbands and children lay killed they had to dance and sing before Muslims and would then be given in slavery to the Muslim kings, generals, soldiers and of course Maulvis. Here is a gleeful Muslim recording of this inhuman barbaric events:

"First of all daughters of Hindu kings captured during the course of the year come and sing and dance. Thereafter they are bestowed upon Amirs and important foreigners. After this daughters of other Hindus dance and sing...Sultan gives them to brothers, sons of high officials etc. The third dasy also Sultan distributes girls to generals and his relatives."

[Source:Ibn Battuta (A.A.Rizvi in Tughlaq Kalin Bharath)]

So Hindu women preferred death to dishonour. Most of the time the Muslim invaders found only charred remains of women when they entered the Hindu cities. For example, when Allaud-din Khilji cowardly attacked Rajputs from behind (before which Rajouts had >magnanimoulsy spared his life showing mercy to the undeserved), butchered them and entered Chitoor Rani Padmini and more than 20,000 maidens had self-immolated. To this day Hindus remember the great queen with pride.

Massacre of Hindus in the South India

Muslims pillaged Vijayanagar for six months and killed every Hindu man , woman and children including pregnanat women. Vijaya Nagar recorded by European travellers as the most beautiful city in the world is today a haunted, destroyed deserted ground unfit to live. To this day the ruins show the amount of barbarism that went into its destruction and even the ruins are testimony to the Hindu genius of architecture.

Whenever the number of slain reached 20,000 he (Sultan Ahemed Shah I Wali) halted for three days and celebrated the killings of infidels (in such a large numbers).

o Chidambaram

Malik dug up the foundations with the greatest care and the heads of Brahmins and idolaters danced from their necks and fell to the ground and their feet and blood flowed in torrents.

o Sri Rangam

Finding no valuable information at the Sri Rangam temple (about the hidden bronze statutes) ill tempered Ulugh Khan killed 12,000 Brahmins in a day.

This is not just the list Medieval barbarians but also the list of even modern anti-Hindu rulers with the same Medieval mindset who either destroyed or tried to destroy or tried to stop the reconstruction of Somnath Temple.
