Chapter Ten
Let the Mute Witnesses Speak
Sita Ram Goel
The
cradle of Hindu culture1 on the eve of its
Islamic invasion included what are at present the Sinkiang province of
China, the Transoxiana region of Russia, the Seistan province of Iran and
the sovereign states of Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal and Bangladesh.
The Islamic invasion commenced around 650 A.D., when a Muslim army secured
a foothold in Seistan, and continued till the end of the eighteenth century,
when the last Islamic crusader, Tipu Sultan, was overthrown by the British.
Hordes of Arabs, Persians, Turks, and Afghans who had been successively
inspired by the Theology of Islam poured in, in wave after wave, carrying
fire and sword to every nook and corner of this vast area. In the process,
Sinkiang, Transoxiana region, Seistan and Afghanistan became transformed
into daru’l-IslÃm where all vestiges of the earlier culture
were wiped out. The same spell has engulfed the areas which were
parts of India till 1947 and have since become Pakistan and Bangladesh.
We learn from
literary and epigraphic sources, accounts of foreign travellers in medieval
times, and modern archaeological explorations that, on the eve of the Islamic
invasion, the cradle of Hindu culture was honeycombed with temples and
monasteries, in many shapes and sizes. The same sources inform us
that many more temples and monasteries continued to come up in places where
the Islamic invasion had yet to reach or from where it was forced to retire
for some time by the rallying of Hindu resistance. Hindus were great
temple builders because their pantheon was prolific in Gods and Goddesses
and their society rich in schools and sects, each with its own way of worship.
But by the time we come to the end of the invasion, we find that almost
all these Hindu places of worship had either disappeared or were left in
different stages of ruination. Most of the sacred sites had come
to be occupied by a variety of Muslim monuments-masjids and îdgãhs
(mosques), dargãhs and ziãrats (shrines), mazãrs and
maqbaras (tombs), madrasas and maktabs (seminaries), takiyãs and
qabristãns (graveyards). Quite a few of the new edifices had
been built from the materials of those that had been deliberately demolished
in order to satisfy the demands of Islamic Theology. The same materials
had been used frequently in some secular structures as well-walls and gates
of forts and cities, river and tank embankments, caravanserais and stepwells,
palaces and pavilions.
Some apologists
of Islam have tried to lay the blame at the door of the White Huns or Epthalites
who had overrun parts of the Hindu cradle in the second half of the fifth
century A.D. But they count without the witness of Hiuen Tsang, the famous
Chinese pilgrim and Buddhist savant, who travelled all over this area from
630 A.D. to 644. Starting from Karashahr in Northern Sinkiang, he passed
through Transoxiana, Northern Afghanistan, North-West Frontier Province,
Kashmir, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, North-Eastern Rajasthan, Uttar
Pradesh, Bihar, Nepal, Bengal, Assam, Orissa, Mahakosal and Andhra Pradesh
till he reached Tamil Nadu. On his return journey he travelled through
Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Bharat, Sindh, Southern Afghanistan
and Southern Sinkiang. In most of these provinces he found in a flourishing
state many Buddhist establishments consisting of vihãras
(monasteries), chaityas (temples) and stûpas (topes),
besides what he described as heretical (Jain) and deva (Brahmanical) temples.
The wealth of architecture and sculptures he saw everywhere confirms what
we learn from Hindu literary sources. Some of this wealth has been
recovered in recent times from under mounds of ruins.
During the course
of his pilgrimage, Hiuen Tsang stayed at as many as 95 Buddhist centres
among which the more famous ones were at Kuchi, Aqsu, Tirmiz, Uch Turfan,
Kashagar and Khotan in Sinkiang; Balkh, Ghazni, Bamiyan, Kapisi, Lamghan,
Nagarahar and Bannu in Afghanistan; Pushkalavati, Bolar and Takshasila
in the North-West Frontier Province; Srinagar, Rajaori and Punch in Kashmir;
Sialkot, Jalandhar and Sirhind in the Punjab; Thanesar, Pehowa and Sugh
in Haryana; Bairat and Bhinmal in Rajasthan, Mathura, Mahoba, Ahichchhatra,
Sankisa, Kanauj, Ayodhya, Prayag, Kausambi, Sravasti, Kapilvastu, Kusinagar,
Varanasi, Sarnath and Ghazipur in Uttar Pradesh; Vaishali, Pataliputra,
Rajgir, Nalanda, Bodhgaya, Monghyr and Bhagalpur in Bihar; Pundravardhana,
Tamralipti, Jessore and Karnasuvarna in Bengal; Puri and Jajnagar in Orissa;
Nagarjunikonda and Amaravati in Andhra Pradesh; Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu;
Badami and Kalyani in Karnataka; Paithan and Devagiri in Maharashtra; Bharuch,
Junagarh and Valabhi in Gujarat; Ujjain in Malwa; Mirpur Khas and Multan
in Sindh. The number of Buddhist monasteries at the bigger ones of these
centres ranged from 50 to 500 and the number of monks in residence from
1,000 to 10,000. It was only in some parts of Eastern Afghanistan
and the North-West Frontier Province that monasteries were in a bad shape,
which can perhaps be explained by the invasion of White Huns. But so were
they in Kusinagar and Kapilavastu where the White Huns are not known to
have reached. On the other hand, the same invaders had ranged over
Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and most of Uttar Pradesh where
Hiuen Tsang found the monasteries in a splendid state. They had even
established their rule over Kashmir where Hiuen Tsang saw 500 monasteries
housing 5,000 monks. It is, therefore, difficult to hold them responsible
for the disappearance of Buddhist centres in areas where Hiuen Tsang had
found them flourishing. An explanation has to be found elsewhere. In any
case, the upheaval they caused was over by the middle of the sixth century.
Moreover, the temples and monasteries which Hiuen Tsang saw were only a
few out of many. He had not gone into the interior of any province, having
confined himself to the more famous Buddhist centres.
What was it that
really happened to thousands upon thousands of temples and monasteries?
Why did they disappear and/or give place to another type of monuments?
How come that their architectural and sculptural fragments got built into
the foundations and floors and walls and domes of the edifices which replaced
them? These are crucial questions which should have been asked by students
of medieval Indian history. But no historian worth his name has raised
these questions squarely, not to speak of finding adequate answers to them.
No systematic study of the subject has been made so far. All
that we have are stray references to the demolition of a few Hindu temples,
made by the more daring Hindu historians while discussing the religious
policy of this or that sultan. Sir Jadunath Sarkar2
and Professor Sri Ram Sharma3 have given more
attention to the Islamic policy of demolishing Hindu temples and pointed
an accusing finger at the theological tenets which dictated that policy.
But their treatment of the subject is brief and their enumeration of temples
destroyed by Aurangzeb and the other Mughal emperors touches only the fringe
of a vast holocaust caused by the Theology of Islam, all over the cradle
of Hindu culture, and throughout more than thirteen hundred years, taking
into account what happened in the native Muslim states carved out after
the British take-over and the formation of Pakistan after partition in
1947.
Muslim historians,
in India and abroad, have written hundreds of accounts in which the progress
of Islamic armies across the cradle of Hindu culture is narrated, stage
by stage and period by period. A pronounced feature of these Muslim histories
is a description-in smaller or greater detail but always with considerable
pride-of how the Hindus were slaughtered en masse or converted by
force, how hundreds of thousands of Hindu men and women and children were
captured as booty and sold into slavery, how Hindu temples and monasteries
were razed to the ground or burnt down, and how images of Hindu Gods and
Goddesses were destroyed or desecrated. Commandments of Allah (Quran)
and precedents set by the Prophet (Sunnah) are frequently cited
by the authors in support of what the swordsmen and demolition squads of
Islam did with extraordinary zeal, not only in the midst of war but also,
and more thoroughly, after Islamic rule had been firmly established. A
reference to the Theology of Islam as perfected by the orthodox Imams,
leaves little doubt that the citations are seldom without foundation.
The men and women
and children who were killed or captured or converted by force cannot be
recalled for standing witnesses to what was done to them by the heroes
of Islam. The apologists for Islam-the most dogged among them are some
Hindu historians and politicians-have easily got away with the plea that
Muslim “court scribes” had succumbed to poetic exaggeration in order to
please their pious patrons. Their case is weakened when they cite the same
sources in support of their owns speculation or when the question is asked
as to why the patrons needed stories of bloodshed and wanton destruction
for feeding their piety. But they have taken in their stride these
doubts and questions as well.
There are, however,
witnesses who are not beyond recall and who can confirm that the “court
scribes” were not at all foisting fables on their readers. These are the
hundreds of thousands of sculptural and architectural fragments which stand
arrayed in museums and drawing rooms all over the world, or which are waiting
to be picked up by public and private collectors, or which stare at us
from numerous Muslim monuments. These are the thousands of Hindu temples
and monasteries which either stand on the surface in a state of ruination
or lie buried under the earth waiting for being brought to light by the
archaeologist’s spade. These are the thousands of Muslim edifices, sacred
as well as secular, which occupy the sites of Hindu temples and monasteries
and/or which have been constructed from materials of those monuments.
All these witnesses carry unimpeachable evidence of the violence that was
done to them, deliberately and by human hands.
So far no one
has cared to make these witnesses speak and relate the story of how they
got ruined, demolished, dislocated, dismembered, defaced, mutilated and
burnt. Recent writers on Hindu architecture and sculpture-their tribe
is multiplying fast, mostly for commercial reasons-ignore the ghastly wounds
which these witnesses show on the very first sight, and dwell on the beauties
of the limbs that have survived or escaped injury. Many a time they
have to resort to their imagination for supplying what should have been
there but is missing. All they seem to care for is building their
own reputations as historians of Hindu art. If one
draws their attention to the mutilations and disfigurements suffered by
the subjects under study, one is met with a stunned silence or denounced
downright as a Hindu chauvinist out to raise “demons from the past”4
with the deliberate intention of causing “communal strife.”
We, therefore,
propose to present a few of these witnesses in order to show in what shape
they are and what they have to say.
Tordi (Rajasthan)
“At Tordi there
are two fine and massively built stone baolis or step wells known
as the Chaur and Khari Baoris. They appear to be old Hindu structures repaired
or rebuilt by Muhammadans, probably in the early or middle part of the
15th century… In the construction of the (Khari)
Baori Hindu images have been built in, noticeable amongst them being an
image of Kuber on the right flanking wall of the large flight of steps…”5
Naraina (Rajasthan)
“At Naraina… is
an old pillared mosque, nine bays long and four bays deep, constructed
out of old Hindu temples and standing on the east of the Gauri Shankar
tank… The mosque appears to have been built when Mujahid Khan, son of Shams
Khan, took possession of Naraina in 840 A.H. or 1436 A.D… To
the immediate north of the mosque is the three-arched gateway called Tripolia
which is also constructed with materials from old Hindu temples…”6
Chatsu (Rajasthan)
“At Chatsu there
is a Muhammadan tomb erected on the eastern embankment of the Golerava
tank. The tomb which is known as Gurg Ali Shah’s chhatri is built
out of the spoils of Hindu buildings… On the inside of the twelve-sided
frieze of the chhatri is a long Persian inscription in verse, but
worn out in several places. The inscription does
not mention the name of any important personage known to history and all
that can be made out with certainty is that the saint Gurg Ali (wolf of
Ali) died a martyr on the first of Ramzan in 979 A.H. corresponding to
Thursday, the 17th January, 1572 A.D.”7
SaheTh-MaheTh (Uttar Pradesh)
“The
ruined Jain temple situated in the western portion of MaheTh… derives the
name ‘Sobhnãth’ from Sambhavanãtha, the third TîrthaMkara,
who is believed to have been born at Šrãvastî…8
“Let
us now turn our attention to the western-most part of Sobhnãth ruins.
It is crowned by a domed edifice, apparently a Muslim tomb of the Pathãn
period…9
“These remains
are raised on a platform, 30’ square, built mostly of broken bricks including
carved ones… This platform, no doubt, represents the plinth of the
last Jain temple which was destroyed by the Muhammadan conquerors… It
will be seen from the plan that the enclosure of the tomb overlaps this
square platform. The tomb proper stands on a mass of debris which
is probably the remains of the ruined shrine…10
“3. Sculpture…
of buff standstone, partly destroyed, representing a TîrthaMkara
seated cross-legged in the attitude of meditation on a throne supported
by two lions couchant, placed on both sides of a wheel…
“4. Sculpture…
of buff sandstone, partly defaced, representing a TîrthaMkara
seated cross-legged (as above)…
“8. Sculpture…
of buff sandstone, defaced, representing a TîrthaMkara standing
between two miniature figures of which that to his right is seated.
“9. Sculpture…
of buff standstone, defaced, representing a TîrthaMkara, standing
under a parasol…
“12. Sculpture…
of buff standstone, much defaced, representing a male and a female
figure seated side by side under a palm tree.
“13.
Sculpture… of buff standstone, broken in four pieces, and carved
with five figurines of TîrthaMkaras… seated cross-legged in the attitude
of meditation. The central figure has a Nãga hood. The sculpture
evidently was the top portion of a large image slab.”11
Coming to the
ruins of a Buddhist monastery in the same complex, the archaeologist proceeds:
“In the 23rd cell,
which I identify with the store-room, I found half-buried in the floor
a big earthen jar… This must have been used for storage of corn…
“This cell is
connected with a find which is certainly the most notable discovery of
the season. I refer to an inscribed copper-plate of Govindachandra of Kanauj…
The charter was issued from Vãrãnasî on Monday, the
full moon day of ÃshãDha Sam. 1186, which… corresponds to
the 23rd of June, 1130. The inscription records
the grant of six villages to the ‘Community of Buddhist friars of whom
Buddhabhattãraka is the chief and foremost, residing in the great
convent of the holy Jetavana,’ and is of a paramount importance, in as
much as it conclusively settles the identification of MaheTh with the city
of Šrãvastî…”12
He describes as follows some of the
sculptures unearthed at SrAvastI:
“S.1. Statuette
in grey stone… of Buddha seated cross-legged in the teaching attitude on
a conventional lotus. The head, breast and fore-arms as well as
the sides of the sculpture are broken.
“S.2. Lower portion…
of a blue schist image of Avalokitešvara in the sportive attitude (lîlãsana)
on a lotus seat.
“S.
3. Image… of Avalokitešvara seated in ardhaparyanka attitude on a conventional
lotus… The head and left arms of the main figure are missing.”13
Sarnath (Uttar Pradesh)
The
report of excavations undertaken in 1904-05 says that “the inscriptions
found there extending to the twelfth century A.D. show that the connection
of Sarnath with Buddhism was still remembered at that date.” It continues
that “the condition of the excavated ruins leaves little doubt that a violent
catastrophe accompanied by willful destruction and plunder overtook the
place.”14 Read this report with the Muslim
account that Muhammad GhurI destroyed a thousand idol-temples when he reached
Varanasi after defeating Mahãrãjã Jayachandra of Kanauj
in 1193 A.D. The fragments that are listed below speak for themselves.

Vaishali (Bihar)
“In
the southern section of the city the fort of Rãjã Bisãl
is by far the most important ruin… South-west of it stands an old brick
Stûpa, now converted into a Dargãh… The name of the saint
who is supposed to have been buried there was given to me as Mîrãn-Jî…”16
Gaur and Pandua (Bengal)
“In order to erect
mosques and tombs the Muhammadans pulled down all Hindu temples they could
lay their hands upon for the sake of the building materials…
“The oldest and
the best known building at Gaur and Pandua is the Ãdîna Masjid
at Pandua built by Sikandar Shãh, the son of Ilyãs Shãh.
The date of its inscription may be read as either 776 or 770, which corresponds
with 1374 or 1369 A.D… The materials employed consisted
largely of the spoils of Hindu temples and many of the carvings from the
temples have been used as facings of doors, arches and pillars…”17
Devikot (Bengal)
“The ancient city
of Kotivarsha, which was the seat of a district (vishaya) under
Pundra-vardhana province (bhukti) at the time of the Guptas… is
now represented by extensive mounds of Bangarh or Ban Rajar Garh… The
older site was in continuous occupation till the invasion of the Muhammadans
in the thirteenth century to whom it was known as Devkot or Devikot. It
possesses Muhammadan records ranging from the thirteenth to the sixteenth
century…18
“The Rajbari mound
at the South-east corner is one of the highest mounds at Bangarh and. must
contain some important remains. The Dargah of Sultan Pir is a Muhammadan
shrine built on the site of an old Hindu temple of which four granite pillars…
are still standing in the centre of the enclosure, the door jambs having
been used in the construction of the gateway.
“The
Dargah of Shah Ata on the north bank of the Dhal-dighi tank is another
building built on the ruins of an older Hindu or Buddhist structure… The
female figure on the lintels of the doorway now, fixed in the east wall
of the Dargah appears to be Tara, from which it would appear that the temple
destroyed was Buddhist…”19
Tribeni (Bengal)
“The principal
object of interest at Tribeni is the Dargãh of Zafar Khãn
Ghãzî. The chronology of this ruler may be deduced from the
two inscriptions of which one has been fitted into the plinth of his tomb,
while the other is inside the small mosque to the west of the tomb. Both
refer to him and the first tells us that he built the mosque close to the
Dargãh, which dates from A.D. 1298; while the second records the
erection by him of a Madrasah or college in the time of Shamsuddîn
Fîroz Shãh and bears a date corresponding to the 28th April,
1313 A.D. It was he who conquered the Hindu Rãjã
of Panduah, and introduced Islam into this part of Lower Bengal… The tomb
is built out of the spoils taken from Hindu temples…20
“The eastern portion
of the tomb was formerly a maNDapa of an earlier Krishna temple
which stood on the same spot and sculptures on the inner walls represent
scenes from the RãmãyaNa and the Mahãbhãrata,
with descriptive titles inscribed in proto-Bengali characters… The other
frieze… shows Vishnu with Lakshmî and Sarasvatî in the centre,
with two attendents, and five avatãras of VishNu on both
flanks… Further clearance work has been executed
during the year 1932-33 and among the sculptures discovered in that year
are twelve figures of the Sun God, again in the 12th century style and
evidently reused by the masons when the Hindu temple was converted into
a Muslim structure…”21
Mandu (Madhya Pradesh)
“MãNDû
became the capital of the Muhammadan Sultãns of Mãlvã
who set about buildings themselves palaces and mosques, first with material
pilfered from Hindu temples (already for the most part desecrated and ruined
by the iconoclastic fury of their earlier co-religionists), and afterwards
with their own quarried material. Thus nearly
all the traces of the splendid shrines of the ParamAras of MAlvA have disappeared
save what we find utilized in the ruined mosques and tombs…22
“The date of the
construction of the Hindola Mahall cannot be fixed with exactitude… There
can, however, be no doubt that it is one of the earliest of the Muhammadan
buildings in MãNDû. From its outward appearance there is no
sign of Hindu workmanship but the repairs, that have been going on for
the past one year, have brought to light a very large number of stones
used in the structure, which appear, to have been taken from some pre-existing
Hindu temple. The facing stones, which have been
most accurately and smoothly cut on their outer surfaces, bear in very
many cases on their inner sides the under faced images of Hindu gods, or
patterns of purely Hindu design, while pieces of Hindu carving and broken
parts of images are found indiscriminately mixed with the rubble, of which
the core of the walls is made.”23
Dhar (Madhya Pradesh)
“…The mosque itself
appears from local tradition and from the numerous indications and inscriptions
found within it to have been built on the site of, and to a large extent
out of materials taken from, a Hindu Temple, known to the inhabitants as
Rãjã Bhoja’s school. The inference
was derived sometime back from the existence of a Sanskrit alphabet and
some Sanskrit grammatical forms inscribed in serpentine diagrams on two
of the pillar bases in the large prayer chamber and from certain Sanskrit
inscriptions on the black stone slabs imbedded in the floor of the prayer
chamber, and on the reverse face of the side walls of the mihrãb.24
“The
Lãt Masjid built in A.D. 1405, by Dilãwar Khãn, the
founder of the Muhammadan kingdom of Mãlvã… is of considerable
interest not only on account of the Iron Lãt which lies outside
it… but also because it is a good specimen of the use made by the Muhammadan
conquerors of the materials of the Hindu temples which they destroyed…”25
Vijayanagar (Karnataka)
“During the construction
of the new road-some mounds which evidently marked the remains of destroyed
buildings, were dug into, and in one of them were disclosed the foundations
of a rectangular building with elaborately carved base. Among the debris
were lumps of charcoal and calcined iron, probably the remains of the materials
used by the Muhammadans in the destruction of the building. The stones
bear extensive signs of having been exposed to the action of fire. That
the chief buildings were destroyed by fire, historical evidence shows,
and many buildings, notably the ViThalaswAmin temple, still bear signs,
in their cracked and fractured stone work, of the catastrophe which overtook
them…26
“The most important
temple at Vijayanagar from an architectural point of view, is the ViThalaswãmin
temple. It stands in the eastern limits of the ruins, near the bank of
the TuNgabhadra river, and shows in its later structures the extreme limit
in floral magnificence to which the Dravidian style advanced… This building
had evidently attracted the special attention of the Muhammadan invaders
in their efforts to destroy the buildings of the city, of which this was
no doubt one of the most important, for though many of the other temples
show traces of the action of fire, in none of them are the effects so marked
as in this. Its massive construction, however,
resisted all the efforts that were made to bring it down and the only visible
results of their iconoclastic fury are the cracked beams and pillars, some
of the later being so flaked as to make one marvel that they are yet able
to bear the immense weight of the stone entablature and roof above…”27
Bijapur (Karnataka)
“No ancient Hindu
or Jain buildings have survived at Bijapur and the only evidence of their
former existence is supplied by two or three mosques, viz., Mosque No.
294, situated in the compound of the Collector’s bungalow, Krimud-d-din
Mosque and a third and smaller mosque on the way to the Mangoli Gate, which
are all adaptations or re-erections of materials obtained from temples. These
mosques are the earliest Muhammadan structures and one of them, i.e., the
one constructed by Karimud-d-din, must according to a Persian and Nagari
inscription engraved upon its pillars, have been erected in the year 1402
Saka=A.D. 1324, soon after Malik Kafur’s conquest of the. Deccan.”28
Badami (Karnataka)
“Three stone lintels
bearing bas-reliefs were discovered in, course of the clearance at the
second gateway of the Hill Fort to the north of the Bhûtnãth
tank at Badami… These originally belonged to a temple which is now in ruins
and were re-used at a later period in the construction of the plinth of
guardroom on the fort.
“The
bas-reliefs represent scenes from the early life of KRISHNA and may be
compared with similar ones in the BADAMI CAVES…”29
The Pattern of Destruction
The Theology of
Islam divides human history into two periods-the Jãhiliyya or the
age of ignorance which preceded Allah’s first revelation to Prophet Muhammad,
and the age of enlightenment which succeeded that event. It follows that
every human creation which existed in the “age of ignorance” has to be
converted to its Islamic version or destroyed. The logic applies to pre-Islamic
buildings as much as to pre-Islamic ways of worship, mores and manners,
dress and decor, personal and place names. This is too large a subject
to be dealt with at present. What concerns us here is the fate of temples
and monasteries that existed on the eve of the Islamic invasion and that
came up in the course of its advance.
What happened
to many “abodes of the infidels” is best described by a historian of Vijayanagar
in the wake of Islamic victory in 1565 A.D. at the battle of Talikota.
“The third day,” he writes, “saw the beginning of the end. The victorious
Mussulmans had halted on the field of battle for rest and refreshment,
but now they had reached the capital, and from that time forward for a
space of five months Vijayanagar knew no rest. The enemy had come to destroy,
and they carried out their object relentlessly. They slaughtered the people
without mercy; broke down the temples and palaces, and wreaked such savage
vengeance on the abode of the kings, that, with the exception of a few
great stone-built temples and walls, nothing now remains but a heap of
ruins to mark the spot where once stately buildings stood. They demolished
the statues and even succeeded in breaking the limbs of the huge Narsimha
monolith. Nothing seemed to escape them. They broke up the pavilions standing
on the huge platform from which the kings used to watch festivals, and
overthrew all the carved work. They lit huge fires in the magnificently
decorated buildings forming the temple of Vitthalswamin near the river,
and smashed its exquisite stone sculptures. With fire and sword, with crowbars
and axes, they carried on day after day their work of destruction. Never
perhaps in the history of the world has such havoc been wrought, and wrought
so suddenly, on so splendid a city: teeming with a wealthy and industrious
population in the full plenitude of prosperity one day, and on the next
seized, pillaged, and reduced to ruins, amid scenes of savage massacre
and horrors beggaring description…30
The Muslim victors
did not get time to raise their own structures from the ruins of Vijayanagar,
partly because the Hindu Raja succeeded in regrouping his forces and re-occupying
his capital and partly because they did not have the requisite Muslim population
to settle in that large city; another invader, the Portuguese, had taken
control of the Arabian Sea and blocked the flow of fresh recruits from
Muslim countries in the Middle East. What would have happened otherwise
is described by Alexander Cunningham in his report on Mahoba. “As Mahoba
was,” he writes, “for some time the headquarters of the early Muhammadan
Governors, we could hardly expect to find that any Hindu buildings had
escaped their furious bigotry, or their equally destructive cupidity. When
the destruction of a Hindu temple furnished the destroyer with the ready
means of building a house for himself on earth, as well as in heaven, it
is perhaps wonderful that so many temples should still be standing in different
parts of the country. It must be admitted, however, that, in none of the
cities which the early Muhammadans occupied permanently, have they left
a single temple standing, save this solitary temple at Mahoba, which doubtless
owed its preservation solely to its secure position amid the deep waters
of the Madan-Sagar. In Delhi, and Mathura, in Banaras and Jonpur, in Narwar
and Ajmer, every single temple was destroyed by their bigotry, but thanks
to their cupidity, most of the beautiful Hindu pillars were preserved,
and many of them, perhaps, on their original positions, to form new colonnades
for the masjids and tombs of the conquerors. In Mahoba all the other
temples were utterly destroyed and the only Hindu building now standing
is part of the palace of Parmal, or Paramarddi Deva, on the hill-fort,
which has been converted into a masjid. In 1843, I found an inscription
of Paramarddi Deva built upside down in the wall of the fort just outside
this masjid. It is dated in S. 1240, or A.D. 1183, only one year before
the capture of Mahoba by Prithvi-Raj Chohan of Delhi. In the Dargah of
Pir Mubarak Shah, and the adjacent Musalman burial-ground, I counted 310
Hindu pillars of granite. I found a black stone bull lying beside the road,
and the argha of a lingam fixed as a water-spout in the terrace
of the Dargah. These last must have belonged to
a temple of Siva, which was probably built in the reign of Kirtti Varmma,
between 1065 and 1085 A.D., as I discovered an inscription of that prince
built into the wall of one of the tombs.”31
Many other ancient
cities and towns suffered the same tragic transformation. Bukhara, Samarkand,
Balkh, Kabul, Ghazni, Srinagar, Peshawar, Lahore, Multan, Patan, Ajmer,
Delhi, Agra Dhar, Mandu, Budaun, Kanauj, Biharsharif, Patna, Lakhnauti,
Ellichpur, Daulatabad, Gulbarga, Bidar, Bijapur, Golconda-to mention only
a few of the more famous Hindu capitals-lost their native character and
became nests of a closed creed waging incessant war on a catholic culture.
Some of these places lost even their ancient names which had great and
glorious associations. It is on record that the Islamic invaders coined
and imposed this or that quranic concoction on every place they conquered.
Unfortunately for them, most of these impositions failed to stick, going
the way they came. But quite a few succeeded and have endured till our
own times. Reviving the ancient names wherever they have got eclipsed is
one of the debts which Hindu society owes to its illustrious ancestors.
On the other hand,
a large number of cities, towns and centres of Hindu civilization disappeared
from the scene and their ruins have been identified only in recent times,
as in the case of Kãpišî, Lampaka, Nagarahãra, Pushkalãvatî,
UdbhãNDapura, Takshšilã, Ãlor, Brãhmanãbãd,
Debal, Nandana, Agrohã Virãtanagara, Ahichchhatra, Šrãvastî,
Sãrnãth, Vaišãlî, Vikramšîla, Nãlandã,
KarNasuvarNa, PuNDravardhana, Somapura, Jãjanagar, DhãnyakaTaka,
Vijayapurî, Vijayanagara, Dvãrasamudra. What
has been found on top of the ruins in most cases is a mosque or a dargãh
or a tomb or some other Muslim monument, testifying to Allah’s triumph
over Hindu Gods. Many more mounds are still to be explored and identified.
A survey of archaeological sites in the Frontier Circle alone and as far
back as 1920, listed 255 dheris32 or
mounds which, as preliminary explorations indicated, hid ruins of ancient
dwellings and/or places of worship. Some dheris, which had been
excavated and were not included in this count, showed every sign of deliberate
destruction. By that time, many more mounds of a similar character
had been located in other parts of the cradle of Hindu culture. A
very large number has been added to the total count in subsequent years.
Whichever of them is excavated tells the same story, most of the time.
It is a different matter that since the dawn of independence, Indian archaeologists
functioning under the spell or from fear of Secularism, record or report
only the ethnographical stratifications and cultural sequences.33
Muslim historians
credit all their heroes with many expeditions each of which “laid waste”
this or that province or region or city or countryside. The foremost heroes
of the imperial line at Delhi and Agra such as Qutbu’d-Dîn Aibak
(1192-1210 A.D.), Shamsu’d-Dîn Iltutmish (1210-36 A.D.), Ghiyãsu’d-Dîn
Balban (1246-66 A D.), Alãu’d-Dîn Khaljî (1296-1316
A.D.), Muhammad bin Tughlaq (1325-51 A.D.), Fîruz Shãh Tughlaq
(135188 A.D.) Sikandar Lodî (1489-1519 A.D.), Bãbar (1519-26
A.D.) and Aurangzeb (1658-1707 A.D.) have been specially hailed for “hunting
the peasantry like wild beasts”, or for seeing to it that “no lamp is lighted
for hundreds of miles”, or for “destroying the dens of idolatry and God-pluralism”
wherever their writ ran. The sultans of the provincial Muslim dynasties-Malwa,
Gujarat, Sindh, Deccan, Jaunpur, Bengal-were not far behind, if not ahead,
of what the imperial pioneers had done or were doing; quite often their
performance put the imperial pioneers to shame. No study has yet been made
of how much the human population declined due to repeated genocides committed
by the swordsmen of Islam. But the count of cities and towns and villages
which simply disappeared during the Muslim rule leaves little doubt that
the loss of life suffered by the cradle of Hindu culture was colossal.
Putting together
all available evidence-literary and archaeological-from Hindu, Muslim and
other sources, and following the trail of Islamic invasion, we get the
pattern of how the invaders proceeded vis-a-vis Hindu places of worship
after occupying a city or town and its suburbs. It should be kept in mind
in this context that Muslim rule never became more than a chain of garrison
cities and towns, not even in its heyday from Akbar to Aurangzeb, except
in areas where wholesale or substantial conversions had taken place.
Elsewhere the invaders were rarely in full control of the countryside;
they had to mount repeated expeditions for destroying places of worship,
collecting booty including male and female slaves, and for terrorising
the peasantry, through slaughter and rapine, so that the latter may become
a submissive source of revenue. The peasantry took no time to rise
in revolt whenever and wherever Muslim power weakened or its terror had
to be relaxed for reasons beyond its control.
1. Places taken
by assault: If a place was taken by assault-which was mostly the case
because it was seldom that the Hindus surrendered-it was thoroughly sacked,
its surviving population slaughtered or enslaved and all its buildings
pulled down. In the next phase, the conquerors raised their own edifices
for which slave labour was employed on a large scale in order to produce
quick results. Cows and, many a time, Brahmanas were killed and their blood
sprinkled on the sacred sites in order to render them unclean for the Hindus
for all time to come. The places of worship which the Muslims built for
themselves fell into several categories. The pride of place went to the
Jãmi‘ Masjid which was invariably built on the site and with the
materials of the most prominent Hindu temple; if the materials of that
temple were found insufficient for the purpose, they could be supplemented
with materials of other temples which had been demolished simultaneously.
Some other mosques were built in a similar manner according to need or
the fancy of those who mattered. Temple sites and materials were also used
for building the tombs of those eminent Muslims who had fallen in the fight;
they were honoured as martyrs and their tombs became mazãrs and
rauzas in course of time. As we have already pointed out, Hindus being
great temple builders, temple materials could be spared for secular structures
also, at least in the bigger settlements. It can thus be inferred that
all masjids and mazãrs, particularly the Jãmi‘ Masjids which
date from the first Muslim occupation of a place, stand on the site of
Hindu temples; the structures we see at present may not carry evidence
of temple materials used because of subsequent restorations or attempts
to erase the evidence. There are very few Jãmi‘ Masjids in the country
which do not stand on temple sites.
2. Places surrendered:
Once in a while a place was surrendered by the Hindus in terms of an agreement
that they would be treated as zimmis and their lives as well as
places of worship spared. In such cases, it took some time to eradicate
the “emblems of infidelity.” Theologians of Islam were always in disagreement
whether Hindus could pass muster as zimmis; they were not People
of the Book. It depended upon prevailing power equations for the final
decision to go in their favour or against them. Most of the time, Hindus
lost the case in which they were never allowed to have any say. What followed
was what had happened in places taken by assault, at least in respect of
the Hindu places of worship. The zimmi status accorded to the Hindus
seldom went beyond exaction of jizya and imposition of disabilities
prescribed by Umar, the second rightly-guided Caliph (634-44 A.D.).
3. Places reoccupied
by Hindus: It also happened quite frequently, particularly in the early
phase of an Islamic invasion, that Hindus retook a place which had been
under Muslim occupation for some time. In that case, they rebuilt their
temples on new sites. Muslim historians are on record that Hindus spared
the mosques and mazãrs which the invaders had raised in the interregnum.
When the Muslims came back, which they did in most cases, they re-enacted
the standard scene vis-a-vis Hindu places of worship.
4. Places in
the countryside: The invaders started sending out expeditions into
the countryside as soon as their stranglehold on major cities and towns
in a region had been secured. Hindu places of worship were always
the first targets of these expeditions. It is a different matter that sometimes
the local Hindus raised their temples again after an expedition had been
forced to retreat. For more expeditions came and in due course Hindu places
of worship tended to disappear from the countryside as well. At the same
time, masjids and mazãrs sprang up everywhere, on the sites of demolished
temples.
5. Missionaries
of Islam: Expeditions into the countryside were accompanied or followed
by the missionaries of Islam who flaunted pretentious names and functioned
in many guises. It is on record that the missionaries took active part
in attacking the temples. They loved to live on the sites of demolished
temples and often used temple materials for building their own dwellings,
which also went under various high-sounding names. There were instances
when they got killed in the battle or after they settled down in a place
which they had helped in pillaging. In all such cases, they were pronounced
shahîds (martyrs) and suitable monuments were raised in their
memory as soon as it was possible. Thus a large number of gumbads
(domes) and ganjs (plains) commemorating the martyrs arose all over
the cradle of Hindu culture and myths about them grew apace. In India,
we have a large literature on the subject in which Sayyid Sãlãr
Mas‘ûd, who got killed at Bahraich while attacking the local Sun
Temple, takes pride of place. His mazAr now stands on the site of the same
temple which was demolished in a subsequent invasion. Those Muslim saints
who survived and settled down have also left a large number of masjids
and dargAhs in the countryside. Almost all of them stand on temple sites.
6. The role
of sufis: The saints of Islam who became martyrs or settled down were
of several types which can be noted by a survey of their ziãrats
and mazãrs that we find in abundance in all lands conquered
by the armies of Islam. But in the second half of the twelfth century A.D.,
we find a new type of Muslim saint appearing on the scene and dominating
it in subsequent centuries. That was the sufi joined to a silsila.
This is not the place to discuss the character of some outstanding sufis
like Mansûr al-Hallãj, Bãyazîd Bistãmî,
Rûmî and Attãr. Suffice it to say that some of their
ancestral spiritual heritage had survived in their consciousness even though
their Islamic environment had tended to poison it a good deal. The common
name which is used for these early sufis as well as for the teeming breed
belonging to the latter-day silsilas, has caused no end of confusion.
So far as India is concerned, it is difficult to find a sufi whose consciousness
harboured even a trace of any spirituality. By and large, the sufis that
functioned in this country were the most fanatic and fundamentalist activists
of Islamic imperialism, the same as the latter-day Christian missionaries
in the context of Spanish and Portuguese imperialism.
Small wonder that
we find them flocking everywhere ahead or with or in the wake of Islamic
armies. Sufis of the Chishtîyya silsila in particular excelled
in going ahead of these armies and acting as eyes and ears of the Islamic
establishment. The Hindus in places where these sufis settled, particularly
in the South, failed to understand the true character of these saints till
it was too late. The invasions of South India by the armies of Alãu’d-Dîn
Khaljî and Muhammad bin Tughlaq can be placed in their proper perspective
only when we survey the sufi network in the South. Many sufis were sent
in all directions by Nizãmu’d-Dîn Awliyã, the Chistîyya
luminary of Delhi; all of them actively participated in jihãds
against the local population. Nizãmu’d-Dîn’s
leading disciple, Nasîru’d-Dîn Chirãg-i-Dihlî,
exhorted the sufis to serve the Islamic state. “The essence of sufism,”
he versified, “is not an external garment. Gird up your loins to serve
the Sultãn and be a sufi.”34 Nasîru’d-Dîn’s
leading disciple, Syed Muhammad Husainî Banda Nawãz Gesûdarãz
(1321-1422 A.D.), went to Gulbarga for helping the contemporary Bahmani
sultan in consolidating Islamic power in the Deccan. Shykh Nizãmu’d-Dîn
Awliyã’s dargãh in Delhi continued to be and remains till
today the most important centre of Islamic fundamentalism in India.
An estimate of
what the sufis did wherever and whenever they could, can be formed from
the account of a pilgrimage which a pious Muslim Nawwãb undertook
in 1823 to the holy places of Islam in the Chingleput, South Acort, Thanjavur,
Tiruchirapalli and North Arcot districts of Tamil Nadu. This region had
experienced renewed Islamic invasion after the breakdown of the Vijayanagar
Empire in 1565 A.D. Many sufis had flocked in for destroying Hindu temples
and converting the Hindu population, particularly the Qãdirîyyas
who had been fanning out all over South India after establishing their
stronghold at Bidar in the fifteenth century. They did not achieve any
notable success in terms of conversions, but the havoc they wrought with
Hindu temples can be inferred from a large number of ruins, loose sculptures
scattered all over the area, inscriptions mentioning many temples which
cannot be traced, and the proliferation of mosques, dargãhs, mazãrs
and maqbaras.
The pilgrim visited
many places and could not go to some he wanted to cover. All these places
were small except Tiruchirapalli, Arcot and Vellore. His court scribe,
who kept an account of the pilgrimage, mentions many masjids and mazãrs
visited by his patron. Many masjids and mazãrs could not be visited
because they were in deserted places covered by forest. There were several
graveyards, housing many tombs; one of them was so big that “thousands,
even a hundred thousand” graves could be there. Other notable places were
takiyãs of faqirs, sarãis, dargãhs, and several houses
of holy relics in one of which “a hair of the Holy Prophet is enshrined.”
The account does not mention the Hindu population except as “harsh kafirs
and marauders.” But stray references reveal that the Muslim population
in all these places was sparse. For instance, Kanchipuram had only 50 Muslim
houses but 9 masjids and 1 mazãr.
The court scribe
pays fulsome homage to the sufis who “planted firmly the Faith of Islam”
in this region. The pride of place goes to Hazrat Natthar WalI who took
over by force the main temple at Tiruchirapalli and converted it into his
khãnqãh. Referring to the destruction of the Sivalinga in
the temple, he observes: “The monster was slain
and sent to the house of perdition. His image namely but-ling
worshipped by the unbelievers was cut and the head separated from the body.
A portion of the body went into the ground. Over that spot is the tomb
of WalI shedding rediance till this day.”35 Another
sufi, Qãyim Shãh, who came to the same place at a later stage,
“was the cause of the destruction of twelve temples.”36 At
Vellore, Hazrat Nûr Muhammad Qãdirî, “the most unique
man regarded as the invaluable person of his age,” was the “cause of the
ruin of temples” which “he laid waste.” He chose to be buried “in the vicinity
of the temple” which he had replaced with his khãnqãh.37
It is, therefore,
not an accident that the masjids and khAnqAhs built by or for the sufis
who reached a place in the first phase of Islamic invasion occupy the sites
of Hindu temples and, quite often, contain temple materials in their structures.
Lahore, Multan, Uch, Ajmer, Delhi, Badaun, Kanauj, Kalpi, Biharsharif,
Maner, Lakhnauti, Patan, Patna, Burhanpur, Daulatabad, Gulbarga, Bidar,
Bijapur, Golconda, Arcot, Vellor and Tiruchirapalli-to count only a few
leading sufi center-shave many dargãhs which display evidence of
iconoclasm. Many masjids and dargãhs in interior places testify
to the same fact, namely, that the sufis were, above everything else, dedicated
soldiers of Allah who tolerates no other deity and no other way of worship
except that which he revealed to Prophet Muhammad.
7. Particularly
pious sultans: Lastly, we have to examine very closely the monuments
built during the reigns of the particularly pious sultans who undertook
“to cleanse the land from the vices of infidelity and God-pluralism” that
had cropped up earlier, either because Islamic terror had weakened under
pressure of circumstances or because the proceeding ruler (s) had “wandered
away from the path of rectitude.” Fîruz Shãh Tughlaq, Sikandar
Lodî and Aurangzeb of the Delhi-Agra imperial line belonged to this
category. They had several prototypes in the provincial Muslim dynasties
at Ahmadabad, Mandu, Jaunpur, Lakhnauti, Gulbarga, Bidar, Ahmadnagar, Bijapur
and Golconda. There is little doubt that all masjids and mazãrs
erected under the direct or indirect patronage of these sultans, particularly
in places where Hindu population predominates, stand on the sites of Hindu
temples.
A Preliminary Survey
We give below,
state-wise and district-wise, the particulars of Muslim monuments which
stand on the sites and/or have been built with the materials of Hindu temples,
and which we wish to recall as witnesses to the role of Islam as a religion
and the character of Muslim rule in medieval India. The list is the result
of a preliminary survey. Many more Muslim monuments await examination.
Local traditions which have so far been ignored or neglected, have to be
tapped on a large scale.
We have tried
our best to be exact in respect of locations, names and dates of the monuments
mentioned. Even so, some mistakes and confusions may have remained.
It is not unoften that different sources provide different dates and names
for the same monument. Many Muslim saints are known by several names, which
creates confusion in identifying their mazãrs or dargãhs.
Some districts have been renamed or newly, created and a place which was
earlier under one district may have been included in another. We shall
be grateful to readers who point out these mistakes so that they can be
corrected in our major study. This is only a brief summary.

Advice tendered to this author by Dilip Padgaonkar, editor of The Times
of India, in the context of quoting correct history. Small wonder that
he has converted this prestigious daily into a platform for communist politicians
masquerading as historians. “Perhaps you want,” wrote a reader, “to invest
them with some kind of academic glory by using the legend of JNU, but their
best introduction, intellectually speaking, is that they are Stalinist
historians… Their ideological brothers in the press make sure, through
selective reporting and publishing, that their views are properly advertised.
The Times of India, too, is in this rank; its editorials, leading
articles, special reports-all breathe venom, not just against Ram Janmabhumi
but any Hindu viewpoint. Anything in sympathy with this viewpoint is conscientiously
kept out” (The Times of India, November 11, 1989, Letters).
