Our mission, methodology, commitment to historical accuracy, and an invitation to engage.
SikandarLodi.com is an educational initiative dedicated to one simple principle: every person has the right to know their true history.
This website exists because generations of Indians have been educated with textbooks that present a systematically incomplete picture of their own past. The documented atrocities, temple destructions, and religious persecution committed by rulers like Sikandar Lodi have been minimized, omitted, or reframed beyond recognition.
Our mission is not to provoke anger or communal division. It is to restore historical literacy â to present the documented facts as they are recorded in primary sources, so that every Indian can make informed judgments about their own heritage.
We hold ourselves to the following standards:
Every major claim on this website is traced back to primary historical sources â chronicles written during or near the period in question. We rely on texts like the Tarikh-i-Daudi, Tarikh-i-Ferishta, Makhzan-i-Afghani, and Waqi'at-i-Mushtaqa, supplemented by Archaeological Survey of India reports.
We cite our sources explicitly throughout the text. Every page includes source attributions, and our Sources & References page provides a complete bibliography. We want readers to be able to verify every claim.
Where the historical record is clear, we present facts as facts. Where interpretations differ among historians, we acknowledge the debate. We do not present contested claims as settled truth, and we clearly mark our own editorial analysis.
One of the strengths of our evidence base is that the most important sources documenting Sikandar Lodi's atrocities were written by Muslim historians â many of whom were sympathetic to Islamic rulers. These sources did not record temple destructions as accusations but as achievements. This makes their testimony particularly credible: they are confessions, not allegations.
We do not invent or exaggerate. The documented facts are sufficiently damning without embellishment. Where the historical record is insufficient to quantify something precisely, we say so explicitly rather than manufacturing numbers.
This website documents the actions of a specific medieval ruler and the state apparatus he controlled. It does not make claims about Islam as a religion or about Muslim communities today. The actions of Sikandar Lodi no more represent all Muslims than the actions of any historical tyrant represent all members of their faith.
Historical justice should be pursued through legal, democratic, and peaceful means. Where temple reclamation is sought, it should be done through the courts and the legislative process â as is currently happening in cases like the Mathura Krishna Janmasthan.
This is not affiliated with any political party or organization. We present documented history â readers can draw their own conclusions. Our goal is education, not manipulation.
Historiography is an evolving field. New evidence, new analyses, and new perspectives can change our understanding. We welcome scholarly engagement and will update this resource as new information becomes available.

This website presents historical information compiled from primary and secondary sources. While we have made every effort to ensure accuracy, the interpretation of medieval historical events is inherently complex and sometimes contested. We encourage readers to:
The most important thing you can do is share this website with others. Historical literacy is a collective responsibility. Every person who learns the documented truth is one more step toward honest historiography.
Don't take our word for it â read the sources yourself. The Tarikh-i-Daudi, Tarikh-i-Ferishta, and other primary texts are available in translation. Engage with them directly and draw your own conclusions.
Support scholars, institutions, and organizations that are doing the hard work of documenting and preserving Indian historical heritage â from archaeological surveys to manuscript digitization to academic publication.
If you believe that textbooks should present a complete picture of Indian history â including documented persecution â engage with your local and national education boards. Advocate for historically accurate curricula that do not selectively omit uncomfortable truths.
If you are a historian, researcher, or knowledgeable enthusiast who has additional primary sources, corrections, or improvements to suggest, we welcome your contributions. This is a living document that will be updated and improved over time.
Before we can heal, we must acknowledge. Before we can reconcile, we must face the truth. This website is our contribution to that process â one documented fact at a time.
