About the Book
This volume focuses on the historical phenomenon of Hindu temples being destroyed, desecrated, and converted into mosques and khanqabs, without claiming to provide a comprehensive study. The author specifically examines the role of Islamic iconoclasm and its ideological underpinnings. The work delves into the theological justification behind these acts and the broader religious context that allowed such iconoclastic behavior to thrive.
In addition to the primary focus on Hindu temples, the book also touches on other aspects of iconoclastic ideology, shedding light on the broader religious and theological forces at play. It provides a detailed analysis of the impact of these events on the cultural and spiritual heritage of India, offering a critical perspective on the intersection of religion, power, and cultural destruction.
