Muslim Rule in India

The Muslim rule in India lasted for almost 1000 years. How come then asked the British historian Sir Henry Elliot that Hindus has not left any account which could enable us to gauge the traumatic impact the Muslim conquest and rule had on them  since there was none Elliot went on to produce his own eight volume history of India from its own historians 1867. His history claimed Hindus were slain for disputing with Muhammedans generally prohibited from worshipping and taking out religious processions their idols were mutilated their temples destroyed they were forced into conversions and marriages and were killed and massacred by drunk Muslim tyrants. Thus Sir Henry and scores of other Empire scholars went on to produce a synthetic Hindu versus Muslim history of India, and their lies became history. The authors examine the major political economic social and cultural forces which have shaped the history of the subcontinent. Providing an authoritative and detailed account authors emphasise and analyse the structural pattern of Indian history of that time.
