Sikandar: The Idol BREAKER

Category:
The history of Kashmir is one of profound beauty, creativity, and resilience, but also one of violent ruptures and cultural devastation. Among the figures who cast a long and dark shadow over this history, Sultan Sikandar of Kashmir (reigned 1389-1413 AD), infamously remembered as Sikandar Butshikan ("the idol-breaker"), stands out for his systematic campaign of cultural and religious destruction. His reign marked the annihilation of centuries-old Hindu traditions, the dismantling of monumental temples, first genocide in Kashmir and the enforced transformation of Kashmiri society. This book, "Sikandar The Idol Breaker, The Annihilator of Hindu Kashmir", seeks to document, analyze, and contextualize this epoch. It is not merely a narrative of one man's rule, but a study of the consequences of ideological zealotry, political consolidation, and cultural erasure. By tracing both the immediate devastation and the long-term impacts of Sikandar's policies, we aim to understand how Kashmir's civilizational fabric was violently restructured in the late medieval period.
