In 1391 AD the Muslims of Gujarat complained to Nasiruddin Muhammad, the Tughlaq Sultan of Delhi, that the local governor,
Kurhat-ul-Mulk, was tolerant towards the Hindus. The Sultan changed him and immediately appointed Muzzaffar Khan as the new Governor. He became an independent ruler after the death of the Delhi Sultan and assumed the title of Muzzaffar Shah in 1392 AD. He led an expedition to Somnath and attacked the the temple which the Hindus had built once again. He killed the defendants and raised a mosque on the site of the ancient temple. However, restoring of the temple took place soon after. But in 1401 AD Muzaffar came back with a huge army and again , demolished the temple once more after killing the defendants. A mosque was built up too.
Muzaffar was succeeded by his grandson, Ahmad Shah, in 1411 AD. Three years later Ahmad ordered to destroy
temples throughout Gujarat. In 1415 AD Ahmad
invaded Sidhpur and converted the grand temple into a mosque. Sidhpur was renamed Sayyadpur.
Mahmud Begrha who became the Sultan of Gujarat in 1458 AD was the cruelest.. Yet in 1469 AD Mahmud invaded Junagadh. Mahmud was more interested in the spread of Islam. After forcible conversions to Islam and Junagadh was renamed Mustafabad. In 1472 AD Mahmud attacked Dwarka, destroyed the local temples, and plundered the city. Many were killed for refusing to convert to Islam including the Raja Jaya Singh, the ruler of Champaner, and his minister
Mahmud Khalji of Malwa (1436-69 AD) also destroyed Hindu temples and built mosques He invaded Nepal and destroyed the temple of Svayambhunath at Kathmandu. He also invaded Orissa, demolished temples, and plundered many places. The Bahmani sultans of Gulbarga and Bidar considered it meritorious to kill and destroy the infidels and their places of worship.
