भारतीय इतिहास के ६ स्वर्णिम पृष्ठ (वीर सावरकर - विदेशी आक्रान्ताओं पर विजय गाथा)

life is Hinduism and the blood that throbs into my veins and arteries is that
of a Hindu. Now that I have won independent and powerful status of a
Sultan for myself, I am hereby breaking off the shackles of conversion to a
foreign religion, and I do hereby declare that I am a Hindu! I have now
ascended publicly the throne of the vast and entire, undivided India as a
Hindu Emperor! Similarly, Sultana Devaldevi till very recently was
originaly a Hindu daughter. Her husband, the Raja of Devgiri, Shankardev
Yadav, was most brutally murdered and she was treacherously captured
from her father sneaking miserably through dense forest to avoid seizure by
the enemy. She was brought to Delhi and put to shame and ignominous
disgrace by being forced to marry Khijrakhan, in the first place, and
secondly after his brutal murder, Sultan Mubarik, who was killed in the
coup d'etat last night. That Devaldevi is my queen, the empress of
Hindusthan of today! Being originally Hindu in flesh and blood and a
Hindu royal princess, she also hereafter renounces disdainfully her
shameful conversion to Islam and henceforth will lead her life strictly

whatsoever; today it is eternally lost. The imperial title that he adopted for
himself was also a Muslim one, viz., Nasir-ud-din! The reason for this,
perhaps, was that the whole of the Muslim world and even the millions of
Hindus who were used to Muslim titles for generations together, might not
be scandalized in respect of these minor details also. Nasir-ud-din, roughly
speaking, means a sort of a defender of faith or religion! Hence, this Hindu
Emperor made it clear in the said proclamation that ‘Din’ or religion that he
was going to defend was not Islam! Naturally, it must be the Hindu
religion! It is, therefore, proper that his name Nasir-ud-din should be
translated as the Defender of Hindu Religion—Hindu dharmarakshak!
The Unprecedented Revolution!
784. As soon as this unheard of revolution, transforming the India-wide
Muslim Empire into the Hindu one, suddenly within a day, was
