His Veraval inscription is of great interest, as it bears witness to his tolerance in religious matters. The generous statesmanship which allowed Muslim communities to thrive and to build and endow mosques in one of the most sacred cities of the Caulukya kingdom forms a remarkable contrast to the policy of plunder and desecration practised by the early Turkish conquerors of India. - [Previous: v2.c31.746](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c31.746) - [Next: v2.c31.748](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c31.748) - [Up: v2.c31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c31) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c31.747](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c31.747) · Pramāṇa
