Quotes[edit]
- The first phase of the Muslim conquest of North India was a splendid ghazi adventure of looting, shooting, and smashing up the gods of Hindu idolators. The new kings of Dehli, however, imposed civil order on the conquered areas and created a structure of despotism designed to tax rather than slaughter the native peasantry.
- Ross E. Dunn - The Adventures of Ibn Battuta_ A Muslim Traveler of the Fourteenth Century (2012, University of California Press) Chapter 9
