The Tughlaqs
The Moslem power was soon revived by the Tughlaqs. By now most of the famous temples over the length and
breadth of the Islamic occupation in India had been looted or demolished, except in Orissa and Rajasthan. By now most of the rich treasuries had been plundered and shared between the Islamic state and its
swordsmen. Firuz Shah Tughlaq led an expedition to Orissa in 1360 AD. He
destroyed the temple of Jagannath at Puri
After the attack of the temples in Orissa, Firoz Shah Tughlaq attacked an island on the sea-coast where nearly 100,000 men of Jajnagar had taken refuge with their women, children, kinsmen and relations. The swordsmen of Islam killed all of them. A worse fate overtook the Hindu women.: "Women with babies and pregnant ladies were made slaves into service in the house of every soldier."
Firuz Shah Tughlaq destroyed the shrine of Jvalamukhi and desecrated the idols.
