"Such was the terrible beginning of the eventual conquest of India by the Muhammadans, Debal being its first victim. The male population was mostly massacred, the town was completely plundered, many willing and unwilling people were converted, and beautiful females were carried away into capturity. .....Neru, the next city, ......... submited without fighting .... The Buddhist governor tendered his allegiance. He also gave plentiful to the army. Neru was therefore spared. (But) Muhammed Qasim enter ed the town and built a mosque in place of a temple and made arrangements for the government of the place."
