"I also sincerely apologize for making fun of Behmani rulers, when all
they were doing was to kill the hindus as their holy book required them."

Here is a brief biographical profile of one of the Bahamani rulers from wikipedia.
Ibrahim Adil Shah's reign
The fifth king of the Adil Shahi dynasty is known in the Indian history as "Jagadguru Badshah." He tried to bring in cultural harmony, between the Shias and the Sunnis and between Hindus and Muslims through music. He was a great lover of music, played musical instruments, sang and composed praises of Hindu deities Saraswati and Ganapati. He wrote the book Kitab-E-Navras (Book of Nine Rasas) in Dakhani.
It is a collection of 59 poems and 17 couplets. According to his
court-poet Zuhuri, he wrote it to introduce the theory of nine Rasas,
which occupies most important place in Indian aesthetics,
to acquaint people who were only brought up in Persian ethos. The book
opens with prayer to Saraswati, the Goddess of learning. He claimed that
his father was divine Ganapati and mother the Holy Saraswati. For him,
the Tanpura personified learning -- "Ibrahim the tanpurawala became
learned due to grace of god, living in the city of Vidyanagari"
(Vidyanagari is the earlier name of Bijapur.)
Ibrahim II publicly declared that all he wanted was Vidya or
learning, music, and Guruseva (serving the teacher). He was a devotee of
Hazrat Banda Nawaj, the Sufi saint of Gulbarga. He has composed a prayer to him to bestow Vidya or learning and charitable disposition.
He founded a new township Navraspur
to give concrete shape to his musical conception or idea of a musical
city. He had a temple built inside the precincts of the palace which
still exists.
Bijapur attracted best musicians and dancers of the period because
the king was famous as a great connoisseur and patron of music and it
was a unique privilege to get recognition from him.
