Quotes by Richard M. Eaton (?)

“contemporary Indians to describe the conquerors was not ‘Muslim’ but ‘Turk”
― Richard M. Eaton, India in the Persianate Age: 1000–1765

“[M]osques and shrines carried very different political meanings than did royal temples in independent Hindu states, or temples patronised by Hindu officers serving in Indo-Muslim states. For Indo-Muslim rulers, building mosques was considered an act of royal piety, even a duty. But all the actors, rulers and ruled alike, seem to have recognised that the deity worshipped in mosques or shrines had no personal connection with a Muslim monarch. Nor were such monuments thought of as underpinning the authority of an Indo-Muslim king, or as projecting of sovereign authority over the particular territory in which they were situated.”
― Richard M. Eaton, Temple Desecration and Muslim States in Medieval India
