On this very day 708 years ago in 1311 CE, one of the most glorious cities in Bharat, Dwarasamudra, the capital city of the Hoysala empire was besieged by eunuch islamic barbarian malik kafur under the orders of murderous islamic tyrant khilji. The city was reduced to dust. 
The Hoysala king at the time, Veera Ballala III was given 2 choices by islamic barbarian malik kafur in return to spare the lives of the people of the Hoysala kingdom. Choices being
1) convert to islam or die
2) pay an annual zimmah (tribute) to barbarian khilji in Delhi (2)

After the fall of Yadavas of Maharashtra & Kakatiyas of Andhra to kafur's islamic sword, Ballala Deva had little choice but to accept one of the offers given to him. He REFUSED to convert to islam. He chose to pay a zimmah instead. Gave away everything except his Yagnopaveeta (3)
But islamic butcher kafur wouldn't keep his word. His islamic hordes ransacked & plundered every single Temple in the Hoysala kingdom, even reducing the capital city Dwarasamudra to rubble.Such was the ferocity of plunder that just like Hampi, Hindus abandoned the city & fled (4)
King Ballala's son, Vijaya Veera Ballala IV was arrested & taken to Delhi as a war prisoner & subjected to torture by barbarian khilji. He refused to convert to islam
kafur would continue his Temple plundering expedition all the way to Madurai, ransacking the Meenakshi Temple(5)
