Gautier has left out Bindu Madhava Temple in Benares!

One thing that Mr. Gautier has left out is the famous Bindu Madhava temple in Benares. Aurangzeb razed this majestic and impressive Vishnu temple in Sept 1682 and built a masjid on it!!!

Auragzeb was just like any another Hindu or Muslim feudal king in India. Defeding Aurangzeb is like defending Hitler!

One more to the list.In Warangal(near Hyderabad) there is a great 1000 pillar temple (Veyi Stambal Gudi). There the Vishnu, Siva idols was smashed to half.People can see that even today.
