- In fine, we can say, the daring reformers at the Ashram of Maharshi
Deval made at least some provision for admitting the forcibly converted
Hindu men and women to the Hindu society. But it seems that the writers of
Smritis and the warriors of the time dared not use at every stage, more
violent means to beat down the monstrously violent Muslim aggression.
Nevertheless, under the adverse circumstances, when the Muslim power
had established itself firmly in the land, this religious revolt of the hundreds
of Hindu leaders like Deval and others was not a small thing.
Check on Muslim Religious Aggression in Sindh - Strangely enough, the above-mentioned attempt of the Hindu leaders
like Deval was supported by the Hindu society as a whole. The Hindu
society, which was originally zealously fond of their caste-sysetem,
reconverted thousands of convert men and women and absorbed them in
their midst. Not only on the political (cf. para 357) front, but on the
religious front, too, the Muslims were thus beaten completely in Sindh. This
two-fold victory of the Hindus in Sindh—of reconquering Sindh within
thirty years of Kasim’s invasion and maintaining their grip on it for nearly
two hundred years afterwards, and of the revolutionary redemption of the
‘fallen’, by Maharshi Deval and others—has to be stressed again and again,
as it has not been adequately described not even mentioned at all, in Indian
histories. - Although there is very slender evidence on our side to bear out this
two-fold Hindu victory in Sindh, we can find a stronger proof in the
writings of the enemy. The Muslim writers were vexed at their general rout
in the reconquest of Sindh by the Hindus. - Al Biladuri (or Baladhuri) writes, “In the days of Tamim, the
Musalmans retired from several parts of India and left their
position...Hakim, son of Awanah al Kalbi, succeeded Tamim. The people of
India had returned to idolatory, excepting those of Kassah and the
Musalmans had no place of security in which they could take refuge, so he
built a town on the other side of the lake facing India and called it Al
Mahfuza, ‘the secure’, and this he made a place of refuge and security for
them and their chief town.” (Elliot HIED, Vol. I., p. 126.) - History places Maharshi Deval somewhere between A.D. 800 and
A.D. 900. Round about this period, i.e. about A.D. 850 to A.D. 950, was
born fortunately for the Hindus, another upholder of this new surge of
religious revival. He sought to overcome the disastrous Muslim religious
