The weight of this barbarity has to be read directly from taymUr's memoirs to be believed. He orders the slaying of captured hindu civilians, so matter of factly, absolutely devoid of any emotion whatsoever, as if ordering a simple ditch to be dug, or horses to be armoured, or canons to be repaired. And then the gory deed is forgotten.
