The Muslim rule in india did not start with Mughals as it is widely perceived , there are less sources or perhaps very little written about pre mughal muslims or rather Islamic Sultantes that ruled india during 1100 AD to 1500 AD , what is intereting is that these rulers came from far away regions like Turkey, Iran and central asia.
Bhaman shahi in Karnataka - Bidar
Alauddin Khilji -
Mohammed Bin Tuglaq
Qutub shahis in Hyderabad (southern India)
all these Kingdoms rose during the early medieval times prior to mughal consolidation, what i thought is that there is an interesting aspect as far as popularising tourism in this region especially by mapping regions of Deccan covering the aurangabad marathwada region of Maharashtra , Bidar, raichur , Bijapur of Karnataka and Hyderabad of Telangana region (presently under andhra state).
Questions like - who were the kings, How come Islam never became state religion in their kingdoms, what was their life style , what is the significance of Daultabad , what is the style of architecture ...sounds interesting but it is value for money if someone visits and maps these places as an ardent admirer of History
