  1. ‘How could a man’, they thought who was a born Muslim, ever
    become a true Hindu by merely dipping into the Gangetic waters?’ ‘For’,
    they argued, ‘the caste is decided by birth’.
  2. रासभ धुतला महातीर्थामाजीं। नव्हे जैसी तेजी शामकर्ण॥
    ‘Even as a donkey washed in the holiest of water can never become a
    spirited horse...’
    How can we then admit these born non-Hindus to our original castes,
    merely because a certain scented pigment betokening Hinduism is applied
    to their foreheads? Are we to dine with them? And if that person be a
    woman, are we to marry her simply because an auspicious kumkum tilak
    from a Hindu box is applied to her forehead? And that too openly?
    Impossible! Impossible! Irreligious! Irreligious!
    623A. Such were the religious ideas of not only the Brahmins and the
    Kshatriyas but the Mangs, the Dhors, the Bhils and other so-called ‘low
    castes’ and wild tribes too! They considered this to be the only true Hindu
    religion. The main principle underlying these ideas of caste-differences was
    that whichever Hindu went over to the Muslim fold, willy-nilly—whether by
    persuasion or by coercion—was polluted and damned—irrevocably damned
    for life—nay, for all his generations to come!
    623B. What wonder then, if hundreds of millions of Hindus who,
    cherishing such absurd ideas about religious behaviour had stoutly opposed
    any reconversion of the oppressed Hindus or of the born Muslims!
    The only Fortunate thing was...
  3. The only fortunate thing was that at the beginning of the Muslim
    onslaughts on India, no couplet in Anusthup metre was interpolated in some
    smriti by some Brihaspati (wiseacre) or another banning territorial
    conquests as others were, in respect of bans on food-exchange, inter-caste
    marriages, reconversion, sea-faring and many other things! If the forcibly
    converted Hindu could not be reconverted to Hinduism, if a man dealing
    with a Muslim himself became a Muslim, how could a land or territory
    once conquered by the Muslims be again a Hindu land? Whoever tried to
    win back that lost kingdom would himself become a Muslim! The land,
    however, would never become a Hindu land again! If some learned Hindu
    fool had argued this way, and promulgated such a ban on reconquering the
    lost territory, the Hindus would have been rendered as absolutely powerless
    to overthrow the Muslim political dominance, as they were to overthrow the
    Muslim religious ascendancy, because it would have become equally
