¹ Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni after his capture and destruction of Muttra conscripted Indian builders to construct the famous mosque of Ghazni, ‘The Bride of Heaven’. Similarly when Timur saw the fine work in the Jami’ Masjid built by Muhammad Tughluq in Delhi, he decided to construct a similar structure in Samarqand and took the stone-workers of Delhi with him to his capital.
