He Waged Jihad On The Hindus. He Plundered The Temples Of India

[JANASENA]

Hindu Persecution series 
Mahmud, according to several contemporary accounts, considered himself a Ghazi who waged jihad on the Hindus. He plundered the temples of India and caused long lasting damage. His attacks on Mathura, Gandhara and Somnath are seen as decisive events in the history of North India and a sign of its subjugation to Islamic invasions. The fact that Mahmud never tried consolidating his conquests choosing instead to target a different region and different temples on each of his invasions is seen as evidence that he was interested in loot.
Mahmud conquered and destroyed thousands of Hindu temples during his raids including the famous Somnath Temple, which he destroyed in 1025 AD, killing over 50,000 people who tried to defend it. The defenders included the 90-year-old clan leader Ghogha Rana. Mahmud had the gilded lingam broken into pieces and had them made into steps for his mosque and palace.
He is credited with bringing lsam into AFGANISTAN/GANDHAR
