Afonso de Albuquerque on Violence against Muslims in India

“I leave no town or building of the Mussalmans. Those who are taken alive, I order them to be roasted…”

“I then burnt the city and put everything to sword, and for days continuously the people shed blood. Wherever they were found and caught, no life was spared to any Musalman, and their mosques were filled up and set on fire. We counted 6,000 dead bodies. It was, my Lord, a great deed, well fought and well finished.”
