There is a Professor of History of the University of Arizona – Richard Eaton who in his essay “Temple Desecration and Indo-Muslim States” says that one can identify only 80 instances of temple desecration whose historicity appears reasonably certain. This, when most Bharatiyas claim that atleast 60,000 temples have been desecrated by Invading cults all over Bharat. Of course he is also the one who said, “The decennial census data for the Naga Hills (later, Nagaland) between 1881 and 1981 shows that the most dramatic religious change occurred after 1947, when foreign missionaries had left the field. Moreover, some communities of Nagas who were least exposed to foreign missionaries were among the earliest to convert to Christianity.” This is just to show how easy it is for anyone to say that raiding and plundering invaders did not really create any much damage in Bharat. After all we are still alive and around! Why wouldn’t they say this? We have never really tried to teach our own people the true extent of damage that the invaders did. How many know that the idols that were desecrated in Elephanta caves near Mumbai, were done by the Portuguese? In Aurangazeb’s own official chronicle, describing just one year of his rule, it is written that at least 132 temples were destroyed in 1679. He ruled for over 50 years in total. Mohammed Ghazni, Tipu Sultan, Muhammed Bin Qasim in Sindh, Ghori, Qutub-ud-din Aibak … so many plunderers, murderers … and yet, here in Bharat, we talk about Ganga-Jamuna tehzeeb without so much as batting an eyelid on the figures of destruction and killing. An inscription at Qutb Minar describes how a mosque there, named Quwwat-il-Islam (glory of Islam), was built with the ruins of 27 Hindu and Jain temples.
