THE KHALJIS
The Khaljis … in 1291, destroyed many Vedic temples in UJhain …As in
the usual Islamic custom, they sent numerous broken Vedic deities back
to the gates at the Jama Masjid in Delhi so people could walk on them.
His nephew, Alauddin, also attacked Vidisha in 1292 and brought back
much booty along with the main deity, and threw it in front of the
Badaun gate to be trampled on by the people.
