Some Hindus even praised Khilji in Sanskrit texts — Medieval India’s complex power games

#thinkingmedieval Medieval literary sources paint the period as one of ‘Islamic bigotry’ versus ‘Hindu resistance’... or do they? As much as the sultans tried to present themselves as Indian rulers in India, they also commissioned over-the-top narratives of conquest and destruction of “infidels”, meant for orthodox audiences in West Asia.
