>Also why does north India have no epic temples?
kebabs were iconoclasts as they detested idol worshipers. Hindu kings in north India literally has a phase where they would build temple literally to BTFO muslim invaders.

>Did they all get Mugal'd?
there were other muslim kings other than mughals.. infact, mughals were much nicer than most of them.
