which empires were the most destructive to south asia?
By destructive I mean, which empires killed and looted the most?
Often I hear Indians blaming Arabs, yet the reality couldn't be more different. Arabs actually were the least destructive of people when they came to south asia, they mostly came for business and trading purposes, and religious arabs came as missionaries not with armies. For thousands of years even before Islam, Arabs and India have had good relations.
I personally think the most destructive, at least in the last 1000 years were central asians, not mughals ( who were better rulers) but all other central Asian armies, which just came for the loot and killed thousands of people on the way
