Such was the legal position of the Hindus under Muhammadan rule. But in practice they enjoyed religious freedom in many periods through the moderation or indolence of their rulers. When an enemy capital or rebel stronghold was captured, the temples of the place were demolished or turned into mosques; but Hindu temples in general were left unmolested except by certain bigoted sultans like Fīrūz Tughluq or Sikandar Lodī.
