| Chapter 2 - Mohammed Qasem : Monster Marauder |
|
In medieval history, the portion which describes how swarms of lusty fanatic and illiterate Arabs went berserk in a globe- girdling and blood-curdling orgy under the specious plea of spreading holy Islam, makes sickening reading.

| Chapter 4 - Mohammed Ghori : Terrorist And Tyrant |

| Chapter 5 - Prithvi Raj Chauhan : The Stupid Emperor |
|
The career of Prithvi Raj Chauhan has a tragic irony of its own. Though among the bravest of India's warrior heroes, his political naivet=82 bordering on stupidity caused India to knuckle under Muslim rule and usher in an era of unmitigated rape, plunder, chaos, repression ....

| Chapter 6 - Kutubuddin Aibak : The Slave Sultan |
|
It is a tragic irony of fate that the first alien king within living memory, who enslaved the Indian people and defiled the sacred, ancient Hindu throne of Delhi by barbarities perpetrated in the name of Islam, was himself a slave sold many times over in the slave markets of West Asian Islamic countries.

In medieval history, the alien Slave dynasty littered in India by Mohammed Ghori was the first to drive Islamic nails in the coffin of India's freedom. The penultimate fiend of that dynasty, and the last to rule for 20 long and gory years, was Ghiyasuddin Balban.

| Chapter 12 - Jalaluddin Khilji : Nephew Kills Uncle |
|
Hindu baiting which had been the cruel sport of fanatic individual marauders since the seventh century in the name of Islam, later hardened into a breathtaking relay in which dynasty after Muslim dynasty carried forward Islam's blood-dripping sword and burn Hindus and their land.

| Chapter 14 - Kutubuddin Khilji : The Sultan In Saree |
|
In the 1,000-year-long drama of Muslim misrule in Hindusthan there were at times some unintended weird tragic-comic interludes. One such was provided by the lewd excesses of the last teenager of the Khilji dynasty, Sultan Kutubuddin, who had a penchant for the female attire.

| Chapter 16 - Mohammed Tughlak : The Mad Monster |
|
While dishonest Indian historians lustily hail Mohammed Tughlak as a well-meaning sultan whose so called reformist plans all went awry, a few, little more honest and intelligent, but not quite so discerning, dub him a mad man.

| Chapter 18 - Tamerlain : Or Timur The Lame |
|
As though the steady blood-letting of Hindusthan in dynastic relays by Muslims was not enough, their 1000-year-long atrocious rule in India was off and on punctuated by specialized horror- masters like Tamerlain, Nadir Shah and Ahmad Shah Abdali.

| Chapter 19 - Bahlol Lodi : Satan Of Delhi |
|
In the dynastic succession of alien invaders to the medieval Delhi sultanate, the Lodis added a new dimension to the villainy of the Sayyids. Bahlol was the founder of the sadist Lodi sultans of Delhi who continued the tradition of perpetrating horrid cruelties in the name of Islam.

| Chapter 20 - Sikandar Lodi : The Half-Caste Butcher |
|
If any gradation is at all possible among the alien sultans who infested Hindusthan for a millennium spilling Hindu blood in fanatic fury, then Sikandar Lodi should rank among the fiercest. This handsome, half-caste satan was born as the third son of his father Bahlol from the abduction ....

| Chapter 23 - Akbar : How Great Was He? |
|
Those who rule in Delhi are thinking of naming a new State-owned hotel after Akbar, the Moghul emperor. This being done probably to fabricate the secular balance because one hotel in Delhi is named after Emperor Ashok.

| Chapter 24 - Rana Pratap : Immortal Hero |
|
Rana Pratap's name straddles across the pages of Indian history like a colossus. His deeds of superb, tenacious, unbending and unyielding valor defying the immense might of a cruel and rapacious enemy like Akbar, have few parallels in world history.

| Chapter 25 - Jehangir : The Fourth Moghul |
|
Like his father Akbar, Jehangir was a vicious ruler. The Memoirs that he is supposed to have written of his reign are designed to mislead posterity.

| Chapter 26 - Shahjahan : The Pock-Marked Forger |

| Chapter 28 - Aurangzeb : The Worst Of The Moghuls |
|
Aurangzeb's name is anathema in Indian history because it connotes the very apex of vice, venom and villainy, and torture, treachery and tyranny. None of Aurangzeb's atrocities were secular, even if that be any consolation. They were carried out methodically, ruthlessly in the name of Islam for the glory (sic) of the Mussalman.

|
Five hundred years of Muslim misrule (1206 to 1707 A.D.) had transformed the usurped Delhi throne into so dreaded a death-trap that after Aurangzeb many a time when the Moghul crown went abegging for a figurehead-emperor, influential courtiers rummaged ....
