The History of the Mukul Empire

In gugerat, modi's home state, history text books are being rewritten to show that the mugul period was one of the low points of indian history a moslem occupation. The historical record suggests that fewer than a hundred hindu temples were desecrated by iconoclasts during the seven to eight centuries of moslem domination. Instances of discrimination and persecution on purely religious grounds were few. There was simply no correlation between the strength of moslem power and levels of iconoclasm. In fact, argues the historian richard eton, there was not even a moslem conquest during the course of their expansion down the ganges plain and into the south.
