the Muslims, who considered to be Gazis, those scoundrels, who destroyed
the whole university of Nalanda in flames and sat warming themselves at
that bonfire and laughed scornfully and shamelessly as the valuable
religious books of the Hindus were being reduced to ashes, had no moral
right whatsoever to blame this incendiarism against the Muslim religion!
787A. This Hindu Samrat converted with their willing consent the young
wives, daughters and nieces of the earlier Sultans and other Muslim women
to Hinduism and married them to his Hindu Paria followers.
788-789. But more than this, this Hindu Dharmarakshak did not do!
Even the Muslim historians do not mention any atrocities or religious
persecution or plunder as having been committed by this Hindu Emperor as
the Muslim aggressors were wont to do after overpowering any Hindu
State. As against the wholesale forcible conversion of the Hindus, the brutal
ravaging of Hindu women, the reckless destruction of Hindu property and
temples, the Muslim historians have no grievous crime to attribute (impute)
to this Hindu Emperor! Even if he had committed the very same atrocities
on the Muslim community as a revenge against the Muslim diabolism
towards the hapless Hindus, it would have been not a bit derogatory, but all
the more glorious for this revolutionary Hindu Emperor! The non-Hindu
aggressors would have taken the fright of their lives as never before, and it
would have proved a deterrent to their perfidious activities! We have
already made it amply clear that it is only the fierce retaliation that destroys
atrocity, root and branch!
790. But the main reason why this Defender of Faith (Dharamarakshak
Nasir-ud-din) did not commit any such revengeful atrocities on the Muslims
must probably be his keen sense of the strength and weakness of his side.
Were the whole of the Hindu community in the Indian sub-continent and the
ruling Hindu kings of the time to lend him their immediate and active
support—had his example in Delhi of reconverting to Hinduism the
converted Muslims at their own free will, of turning masjids into Hindu
temples and of other revolutionary activities of his, been copied in various
towns and cities of India from Rajputana to Southern capitals—and had the
Hindus risen openly against the Muslims and if the proclamation of the
success of Hinduism were published openly, this Hindu Emperor would
have persecuted the Muslims as were the Hindus actually before them and
would have also launched a special military offensive against the Muslims
and would have made it impossible for them to live as Muslims!
