Did Shashi Tharoor tell the Ishlamic world they owe India reparations for 800 years of jihadi temple destruction and looting?

Shashi Tharoor went to Britain and told them how much they stole for 300 years...Good boy Tharoor! Now, go to tell the Arab world how they attacked India for 800 years, destroyed Hindu temples, converted Millions of Hindus by the sword in the name of a Ishlam! How Nadir shah invaded India and stole the koinoor

I was thinking the same..Unable to accept the bitter truth:

Mahmud of Ghazni, Sultan of the Ghaznavid empire, invaded the Indian subcontinent during the early 11th century. His campaigns across the Gangetic plains are often cited for their iconoclast plundering and destruction of temples. Mahmud's court historian Al-Utbi viewed Mahmud's expeditions as a jihad to propagate Islam and extirpate idolatry. Mahmud may not have personally hated Hindus, but he was after the loot and welcomed the honours and accolades in the Islamic world obtained by desecrating Hindu temples and idols.

The loot from Mathura is estimated at 3 million rupees and over 5,000 slaves.

According to British historical writer Victoria Schofield, Sabuktagin, the Turkish ruler of Ghazni and father of Mahmud, "set as his goal the expulsion of the Hindus from the Kabul valley and Gandhara, as the vale of Peshawar was still called. His son and successor, the Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni, continued his work, carrying the so called 'holy war' against the Hindus into India"

Mahmud of Ghazni sacked the Somnath Temple in 1026, looted it, and destroyed the famous Shiva linga of the temple. Following the defeat of the Rajput Confederacy, Mahmud set out on regular expeditions against them, leaving the conquered kingdoms in the hands of Hindu vassals annexing only the Punjab region.
