Shahabuddin al-Umri wrote about the days of Sultan Mohammed bin Tughlaq (1325-51):
"The Sultan never ceases to show the greatest zeal in making wars upon the infidel....Every day thousands of slaves are sold at a very low price, so great is the number of prisoners."

"But still, in spite of the low price of slaves,
200,00 tankas, and even more, are paid for young Indian girls."

"These examples illustrate clearly that the Muslim invaders and later rulers had no regard
for the culture and traditions of the native population"

"For example, when Khwaja Muinuddin Chisti settled at Ajmer he took two wives, although he was then aged sixty-five.
One of them was a Hindu raja's daughter who had been seized during a raid on the Hindus by the local commander."
