Alau'd-din Ahmad Shah

Alau’d-din Ahmad Shah was the tenth sultan of the Bahmani Sultanate. Quotes He was averse from shedding human blood, though he destroyed many idolatrous temples, and erected mosques in their stead. He held conversation neither with Nazarenes nor with bramins; nor would he permit them to hold civil offices under his government.
