  1. But the account of one of those Brahmins is the most remarkable for
    his martyrdom. In the city of Delhi itself, this old Brahmin openly
    worshipped an idol. Now the diabolic religion of Sultan Pherozshah
    Tughlak had absolutely banned any such idol-worship throughout his
    kingdom. But in order to protest against this ban, that Brahmin collected all
    the Hindus in the courtyard of his house and worshipped the idol with such
    great pomp that many Muslim men, women and children, too, became the
    devotees of that idol. The rumour quickly spread far and wide that this
    Brahmin’s God always came to the rescue of his devotee. The news that this
    Brahmin openly worshipped idols painted on a wooden plank reached the
    ears of the Sultan, who immediately had him brought as a captive, along
    with his idol, before him. Thereupon, he called all the ulemas (the Muslim
    religious priests) and asked them: “What punishment should be inflicted on
    this Brahmin?” They replied: “This Brahmin should either be a Muslim or
    be burnt alive to death.” The Brahmin, thereupon, chose to die that horrible
    death by burning. In Delhi, just before the king’s court, a big pile of wood
    was made and the Brahmin was placed on it, bound hand and foot, with the
    idol painted on the wooden plank. The Muslim demons set fire to that pile
    of wood from all sides. Still, the Brahmin would not consent to be
    converted to Islam. In a few cruel moments, the fire blazed very hot on all
    sides. But without even a faint sigh of pain or grief, the Brahmin remained
    bowing down to the idol. Within a moment, the hungry flames swallowed
    up the devoted Brahmin!
  2. This arch-enemy of the Hindus, Sultan Pherozshah Tughlak, died in
    A.D. 1388, followed by an utter chaos in the meagre remains of his
    kingdom, whereas on one occasion, two of his grandsons fell out and at the
    two ends of the city of Delhi, there ruled two Sultans at one and the same
    time, Mohammadshah and Nasratshah, the two grandsons of Pheroz. Half
    the city of Delhi became the capital of the one, while the other half, that of
    the other!!
    Invasion by Taimurlang
  3. Under these chaotic conditions, Delhi fell a prey to the inhuman
    ravages of the notorious Taimurlang, the Sultan of the far off Samarkand.
  4. Taimur was a Turk, and not originally a Muslim. After conquering
    the city of Baghdad, he burned to ashes the whole library of literature and at
    many places, he even burned Masjids! In A.D. 1369, he became the King of
    Samarkand. Following the lead of Chengeezkhan before him, he had
