What your textbooks never taught you. A comprehensive, source-backed chronicle of the destruction, persecution, and cultural devastation inflicted during the reign of Sultan Sikandar Lodi (1489–1517 CE) — and how India still bears its scars today.
Documented by medieval historians, archaeological surveys, and primary chronicles — the scale of Sikandar Lodi's campaign against Hindu civilization.
Navigate through each chapter to uncover the layers of truth that have been systematically hidden, whitewashed, or overlooked in mainstream education.

Read the accounts →Beyond temples — how Sikandar Lodi's policies destroyed Sanskrit learning centers, artistic traditions, and centuries of accumulated knowledge and cultural heritage.
Understand the loss →Numbers, statistics, and data visualizations that put the scale of destruction into perspective — temples lost, taxes imposed, communities displaced.
See the numbers →How the destruction of that era echoes today — in ongoing legal battles for temple sites, in lost cultural practices, and in the identity crisis of a civilization.

Learn more →The temple of Krishna Janmasthan at Mathura — destroyed by Sikandar Lodi around 1490 CE — remains a contested site to this day. The original temple was not only demolished but the idols were given to butchers as meat-weights, an act of deliberate humiliation documented by contemporary historians. The Mathura case is among several ongoing legal battles for the reclamation of ancient Hindu temple sites across India. Understanding this history is essential for informed civic participation.
