Those links cite primary sources which are actual orders - firnamas - issued by Mughal rulers for demolishing temples, slaughtering priests etc. This is Aurangzeb's order burying hundreds of idols below the Jama Majsid [1]. These edicts preserved in museums throughout India. History is done, through primary sources not quoting your favorite secondary sources or top level wikipedia articles.
As a Buddhist, whose traditions were destroyed, this level of Holocaust denial is mind-numbing. I didn't understand the reason behind the refusal to acknowledge the Holocaust visited by the Turkmen Islamic invaders (not Persian!!) upon the Indic traditions. Millennia old traditions wiped out, monasteries burnt and traces of whole civilizations erased. But I now realize there is something primal in Human nature which wants to bury Holocausts like the ones inflicted upon the Jews in Europe, the Armenian genocide, the Congo Holocaust. It allows us to pretend human nature is benign and nurturing. Your denial of the Mughal/Turkmen atrocities is just another facet of that human nature.

- pkphilip 6y agoTalking about the Holocaust, you do know that Golwalkar glorified it? He stated "…To keep up the purity of the nation and its culture, Germany shocked the world by her purging the country of Semitic races – the Jews. National pride at its highest has been manifested here. Germany has also shown how well-nigh impossible it is for races and cultures, having differences going to the root, to be assimilated into one united whole, a good lesson for us in Hindustan to learn and profit by,”
