Temples were demolished, mass execution of resisting forces and enslavement of their dependents. Many were taken as slaves to the area where it is now Iraq and elsewhere of Muslim’s control.

Qasim chose the Hanafi school of Islamic law to control his empire and other religions like Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains were required to pay the heavy tax for religious freedom. It is estimated that about millions of Hindus were persecuted at this period.

13th Century – Khilji Dynasty
Religious violence against Hindus became a common thing during this era under the rule of Khilji Dynasty. The army commanders looted, attacked, killed, and enslaved Hindus from West, Central, and South India.

Riots and mutinies by Hindus erupted in various parts of the Sultanate, ranging from modern Punjab to Gujarat to Madhya Pradesh to Uttar Pradesh. These riots were crushed with mass executions, where all men and even boys above the age of 8 were seized and killed.

Nusrat Khan, a general of Alauddin Khilji, retaliated against mutineers by seizing all women and children of the affected area and placing them in prison.

In the same period, Timur, the Turko-Mongol ruler, the founder of the Timurid Empire and the first ruler of Timurid dynasty.

Timur attacked the Indian Subcontinent, which saw a massive scale of atrocities and systematic slaughter of Hindu population. Leaving the Muslim populated areas aside, his army looted rest of the habits.

The Hindu population was massacred or enslaved. His army killed one hundred thousand Hindu prisoners before he attacked Delhi for fear of rebellion and much more were killed afterward.

After the Timur era, many Muslim Sultans enforced their power, what now is called Delhi Sultanate. In Kashmir, Sultan Sikandar, the 6th sultan of Shah Miri dynasty of Kashmir began expanding and unleashed religious violence that gave him the name Butshikan or idol breaker.

He earned this name because of the sheer scale of desecration and destruction of Hindu and Buddhist temples, shrines, ashrams, hermitages and other holy places in what is now known as Kashmir and its neighboring territories.
