because in spite of his Hunnish extraction, he had become a faithful
follower of the Vedic religion and lulled Buddhism for its feebleness.
(Chapter 4—Paragraphs 284 & 285). But after Mihirgula, when Sindh went
under the sway of the Vedic Hindu kings, the Buddhists no longer suffered
any such persecution. They were free to follow their own religion so far as
it concerned only with their own selves.
The Buddhist Traitors
326. Nevertheless, these Indian Buddhists were elated to see the Muslim
foreigners’ march against the Hindu kingdom. These Buddhists, who bore
malice towards the Hindu, perhaps thought that these new Muslim
aggressors might embrace their Buddhist cult, as did their forerunners, the
Greeks under Menander or the Kushans under Kanishka, and establish a
Buddhist empire over India. So they went and greeted the Arabian-Muslim
leader, when he captured Port Deval from the hand of King Dahir. They
appealed to him in some such way saying following:
326A. “We have nothing to do with Dahir and his Vedic Hindu cult. Our
religious faith differs very widely from theirs. Our Prophet, Lord Buddha,
has taught us ‘Ahimsa’ (Total Abstinence From Violence). We never take
arms and dabble with political affairs of the state. Whoever wins can be the
ruler of the state, we obey him in all matters temporal. You are now the
victor, so now you are our King! Never suspect for a moment, that we shall
even enlist ourselves in Dahir’s armed forces or help him in any way. So we
pray that the Buddhist should not be subjected to any indignities or troubles
at your hands.”
326B. Complying with some such request of the Buddhists, which
amounted to complete surrender, the arch diplomat Kasim gave them
temporary assurance of safety.
327. On receiving the news of the fall of Port Deval, King Dahir, on the
other hand, mobilized his army and took the field. Kasim too, on his part,
went ahead subjugating some parts of Sindh. The Muslim writers or tarikhs
(reports), who have recorded the details of this campaign, testify that the
Buddhist in Sindh helped the Muslims in every possible way, while the
latter marched onwards, by showing them difficult passes, providing them
with foodstuff and fodder and supplying them secret military intelligence.
Some few Vedic Hindus also were guilty of this treachery, but their attempts
were individual and exceptional.
