All the phases of Islamic conquest of India form 1000 to 1700 resulted in 80 million dead Hindus, Sikhs and people of other local religious screeds.

The figure is based on demographic estimates and supported by muslim authors of the time that considered killing infidels a pious activity and hence did not hide the counts and rather bragged about it. One report described obliteration of 200,000 souls in one valley by a sword or sawing in half within span of 3 days.

Yes, it happened centuries ago. But the ideology responsible for this barbarity exists still today in an unaltered form. I see karma in works.
