- The struggle on the two fronts in all the bloody wars fought at every
Muslim invasion, right from the beginning of this modern age was hitherto
unknown and unheard of. For the Greek, the Saka, the Hun and other
invaders, who came pouring in down the plains of Punjab, was political
domination of this country as their sole objective. Barring this political
aim, their raids had never been occasioned by any cultural or religious
hatred. On the other hand, these new Islamic enemies, not only aspired to
crush the Hindu political power, and establish in its place Muslim
sovereignty over the whole of India, but they also had seen things’ in their
brains another fierce religious ambition, not heretofore dreamt of by any of
the old enemies of India. Intoxicated by this religious ambition, which was
many times more diabolic than their political one, these millions of Muslim
invaders from all over Asia fell over India, century-after-century, with all
the ferocity at their command, to destroy the Hindu religion which was the
lifeblood of the nation.
The Outrageous Christian Incursion - To add to these catastrophic Muslim inroads over India, Christian
nations like the Portuguese, the Dutch, the French, the British and others
rushed upon our nation from the sea, round about the fifteenth century
A.D.—even if we were to ignore the infiltration by the Syrian Christians in
the Malabar during the 1st century A.D. This Christian offensive, like the
Muslim one, was both political and religious and equally devilish. They
also wrought havoc by converting millions of Hindus at the point of the
bayonet—an account of which will be given at its proper place. - Although the two fronts of this Muslim aggression, viz., the
religious and political, were only the two parts of the same epic Hindu-
Muslim struggle, their original forms, their weapons of war and their
ultimate end, were altogether different. Naturally, they have to be discussed
separately, as far as it is possible to do so. - Hence, we shall first examine the religious aspect of the Muslim-
Christian aggression over our country in Chapters VI to XII, and then in
Chapters 13 to 22 of this book, we shall discuss its political side.
