“In fact, no other course remained but that of making them all (100,000 Hindus) food for the sword” - Taimur
“They (Taimur’s Army) 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 women and children, and their property and goods became the spoil of the victors.” - Taimur
”I proclaimed that every man who had infidel Hindu prisoners should put them to death, whoever neglected to do so should himself be executed and his property given to the informer. With this order the ghazis of Islam drew their swords and put their prisoners to death.” - Taimur
”In AH 934 (2538 C.E.) I attacked Chanderi and by the grace of Allah captured it in a few hours. We got the infidels slaughtered and the place which had been Daru’l-Harb (nation of non-muslims) for years was made into a Daru’l-Islam (a muslim nation).” - Babur
“For the sake of Islam I became a
wanderer,
I battled infidels and Hindus,
I determined to become a martyr
Thank God I became a Killer of
Non-Muslims!”
- Babur in Baburnama
“The sword of Islam yielded a rich crop of converts….Most of the women (to save their honour) burnt themselves to death. Those captured were distributed among Muslim Mansabdars (Noblemen)” - Shahjahan’s record in Badshah Nama, Qazinivi & Badshah Nama, Lahori’
‘Tarikh-I-Alamgiri’ :
“Abdali’s soldiers would be paid 5 Rupees for every enemy head brought in. Every horseman had loaded up all his horses with the plundered property, and atop of it rode the girl-captives and the slaves. (Contd)
The severed heads were tied up in rugs like bundles of grain and placed on the heads of the captives…Then the heads were stuck upon lances and taken to the gate of the chief minister for payment.”
The Afghan ruler Ahmad Shah Abdali attacked Mathura in 1757 AD.
Historian Professor K.S. Lal estimates that the Hindu population in India decreased by 80 million between 1000 AD and 1525 AD, an extermination unparalleled in World history.
