In his seminal book Hindu Temples, What Happened to Them,independent Hindu historian Sita Ram Goel has listed two thousand cases where amosque was built in forcible replacement of a Hindu temple. Not one of theseverifiable items has been proven false, not by Sikand nor by Eaton or othereminent historians. It is also instructive to see for oneself what Eaton'spurported "eighty" cases are, on pp.128-132 of his book. These turnout not to concern individual places of worship, but campaigns of destructionaffecting whole cities with numerous temples at once. Among the items on Eaton'slist, we find "Delhi" under Md. Ghori's onslaught, 1193, or "Benares"under the Ghurid conquest, 1194, and again under Aurangzeb's temple-destructioncampaign, 1669. On each of these "three" occasions, literally hundredsof temples were sacked. In the case of Delhi, we all know how the singleQuwwat-ul-Islam mosque replaced 27 temples, incorporating their rubble. At thisrate, Eaton's "eighty" instances easily match Goel's two thousand,perhaps even the unnamed Hindutva author's "sixty thousand".
