- Is it not testimony enough that the very first quatrain by the very first
poet should be born of a highly exciting sentiment, which could never be
conveyed in simple words? - Precaution, however, must be taken that the poetic description of
such exceptional yet exciting events should not pervert the original facts. A
well-authenticated history should express itself through all this emotional
display. - The period of Indian history, which we are now going to discuss in
this book is from the point of view of the Hindu Nation so glorious, so
thrilling, and so full of daring events that the poetic style of writing alone
can describe it adequately and in a living manner. - In the twentieth chapter of this book, the Hindu-Muslim war, which
had been going on for six centuries, had entered the seventh. But even when
such a long time of bitter warfare had elapsed and even when the Hindu
Nation had been sorely plagued and profusely bled by the ferocious religio-
political aggressions of all the Asian Muslims—the Arabs, the Afghans, the
Pathans, the Turks, the Moghals—yet even by the beginning of the
seventeenth century, the Hindu Nation had, neither in the north nor in the
south, been completely vanquished! Nay, it was still fighting on bravely on
the battlefield itself, although sorely smarting under the countless wounds it
had so far received. On the contrary, the aggressive might of all the Asian
Muslims had been steadily but surely getting weaker and weaker after their
incessant warfare with the Hindus right from the beginning of the eighth
century to the death of Akbar. We have already shown, in Paragraphs 818 to
857 of this book in the chapter named ‘The Beginning of the Fall of the
Muslim Power’, how that ‘beginning’ was made from the 14th century and
how the ground was being prepared for the establishment of the victorious
Hindu Kingdoms, like that of Vijaynagar. - The same resurgent spirit of the Hindus grew steadily every day and
ultimately by the time which the course of our story has now reached, the
presiding deity of the Hindu Nation seems to have felt the dire necessity to
use the histro-mythological phraseology, of bringing forth an
extraordinarily, illustrious Hindu family which could ultimately lead the
ever-growing Hindu might throughout the whole of India. In the old times
when that deity felt a similar need of extirpating the Saka-Hun and other
Mlenchhas, she performed, according to Chand Bhat in his epic ‘The Story
of Agnikula’, a great sacrifice on Mount Abu and brought forth four Indian
