Hindu Temples What Happened to Them Vol 1 & Vol 2
Hindu Temples What Happened to Them Vol 1 restricts itself mainly to the study of Hindu temples destroyed desecrated and converted into mosques and khanqahs without overlooking Muslim’s ideology of iconoclasm; here and there, it also mentions other theological props and concomitants of the iconoclastic ideology.
The book Ayodhya retains its importance but does not occupy the center of discussion. In dealing with its subject, it exercises complete fidelity to truth; unlike secularist and Marxist writers, it does not believe in re-writing and fabricating history.
What Happened to Them, Volume 1 is a significant book authored by Sita Ram Goel, a historian and writer known for his critical examination of India’s history, especially concerning religious and cultural conflicts. This volume, published in 1990, sheds light on the destruction and desecration of Hindu temples during medieval and colonial periods in India.
The book remains a subject of discussion in academic, political, and cultural spheres. It highlights the need to document history accurately and address the complexities of India’s past without bias.
