- It becomes crystal clear from the latter part of her life that after all
the atrocities and persecutions, she was constantly worshipping the Hindu
god. - Even after being forced to marry Allauddin’s eldest son, the mental
agonies of Devaldevi did not cease. For, immediately after Allauddin’s
death, there was a revolution, in which Allauddin’s second son, Mubarik,
attacked and blinded his brother along with his followers and then put them
to death. Installing himself as the Sultan, he seized his brother’s wife,
Devaldevi, and forced her to marry him. - This alone seems to be the civilized and polite tradition of the
Muslim Sultans and Emperors to marry again the fairest of queens and
wives of the late Sultans or Emperors, dead or put to death! - This way did the former Hindu princess, Devaldevi rise to the highest
status of a Sultana! However, she abhorred Mubarik most bitterly, yet she
had, per force, to keep marital relations with him. Although her precious
body was thus continually defiled, she had the most favourite opportunity of
her life owing to this marriage of hers with Mubarik. - In gaining the Sultanate of Delhi, Mubarik had mainly to depend on
the former Hindu slave, who later on was forced to become a Muslim, and
who now had become the commander-in-chief of the whole Sultanate of
Delhi—namely Khushrukhan! Mubarik himself had willingly entrusted the
whole administration to Khushrukhan, for he had no time to mind other
things except every sort of depravity and vice. For instance, he was
extremely fond of dressing like a woman, going to the greatest noblemen of
the court with the whole band of dancing girls, and there dancing himself,
or having dancing and musical concerts there. So, while this licentious
Mubarik was fully engrossed with his various vices, his chief minister of
state, Khushrukhan, who had the burning memory of his former Hindu
wife, and his present wife but the former Hindu princess, Devaldevi, who
had similar thoughts and tendencies and similar mishaps in life as the
former—both being Gujarati Hindus originally—had the greatest
opportunity of coming into closest contact, of developing the strongest
love-ties and the greatest confidence in each other. They could carry on the
day-to-day political intrigues and plans authoritatively and with impunity,
even to the solitude of the innermost secret chambers of the Sultan’s private
palace.
