The bloodiest event in history was likely the Islamic conquest of India. It is a depressing story since its obvious lesson is that civilization is a priceless good whose delicate web of freedom and order, culture, and peace can be destroyed at any time by barbarians advancing from the outside or proliferating from inside. Will Durant, a historian from America A compelling chronicle entitled Invaders and Infidels: From Sindh to Delhi: The 500-Year Journey of Islamic Invasions presents the tale of the beginnings and progression of Islamic invasions into India. It spans the nearly 320-year reign of the Delhi Sultanate, which starts with the first Muslim conquest and concludes with Babur's invasion of Hindustan. It includes both large and little sagas of outstanding bravery, unspeakable brutality, tenacious resistance, gruesome intrigues, and titanic disasters. Two significant elements that were completely ignored in the inherited Indian historical and cultural memory are present in this story.
