Which ones?

I'm going to play along for your benefit, though your intentions are very clear. I'll give you the terminology you've probably never heard of, you're going to need to do your own leg work.

Start with the the Rashidan Caliphate in the 600s.  Then onto Ummayid Al Hind Caliphate through around 900AD.

Move onto the Turks, like Mahmud Ghazni. Read his own PRIMARY sources. These barbarians loved to detail all of their conquests and the gorier the better. They has countless people on staff to write the glories of their lives. There's also Al-Din.

Then read primary sources from Timur. This one was really good and very graphic. Very detailed accounts of mass genocides.  Before moving onto..

what is now known as Dehli Sultanate (nicer name than Caliphate right?). Primary sources from Mamluk, Khalji, Tughlak.

The Mughals did the same- wonderful documentation as primary source. Babur's, Aurangzeb's, Jahingir's, even the much revered Akbar. He was also barbaric and his documentation proves as such, until he went through a period of religious changes, only then did he become more peaceful. (50 points for the win--Guess which version of religion it was a change AWAY from?)

Throughout your readings remember Ghazwa e Hind. The thinking was once the Indian Subcontinent became completely Islamic and under caliphate rule then the world would finally end and all would go to paradise. All those that participate in the bloody wars to rid the world of the non-Muslims would go straight to paradise. When this started, India was the richest country in the world and the most liberal. Do you see the similarity now with the West being the target?
