In the 13th through 19th centuries why were structures with Hindu characteristics demolished?
They were demolished (or converted) because Muslim invaders to the Indian subcontinent were driven to convert all of the people originally living there to Islam. The temples especially were a prime target of this because temples were a physical embodiment of what the Muslims thought of as the infidel faith. Temples were either wholly or partially demolished, mosques were then built on (and usually with) the ruins of the temple. Secular buildings were confiscated from the original rulers and used by the new Muslim rulers, one such example being the Red Fort in Delhi, India.
