  1. But the Hindu kings and Hindu people in general did not openly
    support this Hindu political revolution. They were, however, inwardly
    proud of it and overjoyed at it. They did appreciate this utter humiliation
    and ruination of the Muslim Sultanate at the hands of this Hindu
    Dharmarakshak ‘Nasir-ud-din’. The Hindu kings and the Hindu society at
    large nevertheless refrained from attempting any open revolt. The one
    reason why the Hindu Society failed to attempt the establishment of a
    Hindu Empire at this most opportune moment, was that the Hindus
    harboured serious doubts whether this undreamt of revolution would
    succeed. If that revolution were to fail, they feared, the followers would
    never escape complete annihilation. So, the Hindu community only waited.
    Secondly, the entire Hindu society never approved of the mass conversion
    of Muslims to Hinduism that was effected in and around Delhi as a sound
    religious practice! The Hindu Dharma of the day meant ban on
    reconversion, not reconversion! Religious tolerance had been their religion
    because of their perverted sense of values; their religion never brooked
    either the demolishing of masjids or converting the Muslims to Hinduism.
    This sort of reactionary measure was considered by the Hindus to be the
    greatest sin! So, who could have predicted that the Hindu society itself
    would not oppose tooth and nail this religious revolution? That possibility
    could not be ruled out altogether! Muslim opposition to this revolutionary
    change, however, in the imperial government and religion was quite natural.
  2. Under these circumstances, Dharmarakshak (Nasir-ud-din) refrained
    from any further atrocities or revenge upon the Muslims in Delhi or
    elsewhere in the empire, considering that his religious and political
    revolution in Delhi was in itself so daring as to put the Muslim power to
    shame, and so he was satisfied that the Hindu society had now become
    strong enough to relish and digest such a revolution! And this was not a
    small achievement! The next step could be deferred to a later date! The next
    favourable opportunity would most certainly be availed of. He did not,
    therefore, think it wise to stretch things too far so as to cause a complete
    break.
  3. On the other hand, as had already been told (in Paragraph 784), he
    allowed the Muslim soldiers and peasants and civilians equal rights to the
    new facilities and exemption from taxes, which he did in the case of
    Hindus. Moreover, he kept on sending extremely valuable presents to those
    Muslim officers and Mullah-Maulvis, whom he suspected to be secretly
