Slaughter of
the Hindus
"When the
sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them,
and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every
ambush." - Koran 9:5.
***
An event of immense and lasting impact in Indian history was the advent of the Muslims in
the north-west. Lured by tales of the fertile plains of the Punjab and the fabulous wealth
of Hindu temples, Mahmud of Ghazni first attacked India in 1000 AD. Other raiders from
Central Asia followed him. Hindus never forgot the repeated destruction of the Somnath
Temple, the massacre of Buddhists at Nalanda, or the pogroms of the Mughals. Hindus
gallantly resisted, knowing full well that defeat would mean a choice of economic
discrimination via the jaziya tax on non- Muslims, forced conversion, or death. It is no
wonder that the residents of Chittor, and countless other people over the length and
breadth of Bharat, from present-day Afghanistan to present-day Bangladesh, thought it
better to die gloriously rather than face cold-blooded slaughter.
 Will
Durant (1885-1981) the well-known American historian
would like the West to learn from India, tolerance and gentleness and love for
all living things.
He
says
in the book The Story of
Civilization: Our
Oriental Heritage page
459:
"...the Islamic conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. It is a
discouraging tale, for its evident moral is that civilization is a precious good, whose
delicate complex order and freedom can at any moment be overthrown by barbarians invading
from without and multiplying from within." Almost all the Muslims of South Asia are
descendants of weaker elements of the population who had succumbed to forcible Islamic
conversion." )
"The Mohammedan conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story
in history".
The
Islamic historians and scholars have recorded with great glee
and pride of the slaughters of Hindus, forced conversions, abduction of Hindu
women and children to slave markets and
the destruction of temples carried out by the warriors of Islam during 800 AD to
1700 AD. Millions of Hindus
were converted to Islam by sword during this period. "
"The growth of Buddhism and
monasticism in the first year of our common era sapped the manhood of India, and
conspired with political division to leave India open to easy conquest. When
the Arabs came, pledged to spread a simple and stoic monotheism, they looked
with scorn upon the lazy, venal, miracle-mongering Buddhist monks, they smashed
the monasteries, killed thousands of monks, and made monasticism unpopular with
the cautious. The survivors were re-absorbed into the Hinduism that had begotten
them; and eased the return of the prodigal by proclaiming Buddha a god."
"At
Elephanta the Portuguese certified their piety by smashing statuary and
bas-reliefs in unrestrained barbarity; and almost everywhere in the
north the Moslems brought to the ground those triumphs of Indian architecture,
of the fifth and sixth centuries, which tradition ranks as far superior to the
later works that arouse our wonder and admiration today. The Moslems decapitated
statues, and tore them limb from limb; they appropriated for their mosques, and
in great measure imitated, the graceful pillars of the Jain temples; time and
fanaticism joined in the destruction, for the Hindus abandoned and neglected
temples that had been profaned by the touch of alien hands.”
"Even in its ruins the Temple of Shiva at Elephanta, with its massive
fluted columns, its “mushroom” capitals, its unsurpassed reliefs, and its
powerful statuary, suggests to us an age of national vigor and artistic skill of
which hardly the memory lives today."
"No
blood has been shed for religion in India except by its invaders. Intolerance
came with Islam and Christianity; the Moslems proposed to buy Paradise with the
blood of “infidels” and the Portuguese, when they captured Goa, introduced
the Inquisition into India.”

Alberuni ( ? ) Muslim scholar from Central Asia.
He wrote a very comprehensive book "Indica" in1030 AD. He diligently went into the specifics of the invasion:
"...they (the Hindus) frighten their children
with us, our dress and our ways and customs" and decree us as "devil's
breed". "They regard everything we do as opposite of all that is good
and proper". (Sachau:
20)
Some
of the reasons of Hindus' repugnance of Muslims are complete banishment of
Buddhists from countries from Khurasan, Persis, Irak, Mosul and Syria, first by
the Zoroastrians and then by Islam."
And then Muhammad ibn Elkasim entered India proper, conquered the cities of
Bahmanwa and Mulsthan and went as far as Kanauj –
"All
these events planted a deeply rooted hatred in their (Hindu) hearts."
(Sachau:
21)
And, regarding the effect of Mahmud's raids, he says:
"Mahmud
utterly ruined the prosperity of the country, and performed those wonderful
exploits, by which the Hindus became like atoms of dust scattered in all
directions, and like a tale of old in the mouth of the people."
"their
(the Hindus') scattered remains cherish, of course, the most inveterate aversion
towards all Muslims." (Sachau: 22).

 Mahatma
Gandhi (1869-1948) was among India's most fervent nationalists,
fighting for Indian independence from British rule.
Following the assassination of Swami
Shraddhanand at the hands of a Muslim fanatic in December, 1926, he
had said:
"Mussalmans have an ordeal to pass through. There
can be no doubt that they are too free with the knife and the pistol. The
sword is an emblem of Islam. But Islam was
born in an environment where the sword was, and still remains, the supreme law. The
message of Jesus has proved ineffective because the environment was unready to
receive it. So with the message of the Prophet. The
sword is yet too much in evidence among the Mussalmans. It must be sheathed if
Islam is to be what it means - peace." This was 80 years ago.
Long years before Mahatma Gandhi
spoke his mind on Islam, Swami
Vivekananda told a gathering in London in November, 1896:
"In the
Quran there is the doctrine that a man who does not believe these teachings
should be killed. It is a mercy to kill him! Think of the bloodshed there has
been in consequence of such beliefs!"

Irfan
Husain ( ? ) a freelance columnist from
Pakistan has observed:
”While historical
events should be judged in the context of their times, it
cannot be denied that even in that bloody period of history, no mercy was shown
to the Hindus unfortunate enough to be in the path of either the Arab conquerors
of Sindh and south Punjab, or the Central Asians who swept in from Afghanistan.
 The
Muslim heroes who figure larger than life in our history books committed some
dreadful crimes. Mahmud of Ghazni,
Qutb-ud-Din Aibak, Balban, Mohammed bin Qasim, and Sultan Mohammad Tughlak, all
have blood-stained hands that the passage of years has not cleansed. Indeed, the
presence of Muslim historians on their various campaigns has ensured that the
memory of their deeds will live long after they were buried.
Seen
through Hindu eyes, the Muslim invasion of their homeland was an unmitigated
disaster. Their temples were razed, their idols smashed, their women raped,
their men killed or taken slaves. When Mahmud of Ghazni entered Somnath on one
of his annual raids, he slaughtered all 50,000 inhabitants. Aibak killed and
enslaved hundreds of thousands. The list of horrors is long and painful.
These conquerors
justified their deeds by claiming it was their religious duty to smite
non-believers. Cloaking themselves in the banner of Islam, they claimed they
were fighting for their faith when, in reality, they were indulging in
straightforward slaughter and pillage. When these
warriors settled in India, they ruled as absolute despots over a cowed Hindu
populace. For generations, their descendants took their martial superiority over
their subjects for granted. "...
And a substantial number of Pakistani Muslims are secretly convinced
that they are inherently superior to the Hindus. One
irony, of course, is that contrary to their wishful thinking, the vast majority
of Muslims in the subcontinent have more Hindu blood in their veins than there
is Arab, Afghan, Turkish or Persian blood. Many of the invaders took
Hindu wives and concubines."

Chinese pilgrim Hiuen
Tsang, who visited India in the first half of the seventh
century and has left a circumstantial account of his 14 years in the country,
makes it clear that Hindus and Buddhist lived side by side without any show of
violence. Neither Hinduism or Buddhism is disgraced by anything corresponding to
the Inquisition; neither was ever guilty of such iniquities as the Albigensian
crusade or such criminal lunacies as the religious wars of the 16th and 17the

 Sir
Jadunath Sarkar (1870-1958) the pre-eminent historian of
Mughal India, wrote the following in 1920 regarding the impact of centuries of
jihad and dhimmitude on the indigenous Hindus of the Indian subcontinent:
”Islamic theology, therefore tells the true believer
that his highest duty is to make 'exertion (jihad) in the path of God', by
waging war against infidel lands (dar-ul-harb) till they become part of the
realm of Islam (dar-ul-Islam) and their populations are converted into true
believers. After conquest the entire infidel population becomes
theoretically reduced to the status of slaves of the conquering army. The men
taken with arms are to be slain or sold into slavery and their wives and
children reduced to servitude. As for the non-combatants among the vanquished,
if they are not massacred outright, - as the canon lawyer Shaf'i declares to be
the Qur'anic injunction,- it is only to give them a respite till they are so
wisely guided as to accept the true faith.”

Ahmad
Sirhindi (1564 - 624) the Indian Sufi theologian observed that - "Whenever
a Jew is killed, it is for the benefit of Islam." Of
course Jew-hatred was merely a sidelight to Sirhindi's hatemongering Islamic
"ethos." He was an intensely anti-Hindu
bigot, as revealed by these words:
"Cow-sacrifice
in
India
is the noblest of Islamic practices. The kafirs [Hindus] may probably agree to
pay jizya but they shall never concede to cow-sacrifice...The real purpose in
levying jizya on them [Hindus] is to humiliate then to such an extent that, on
account of fear of jizya , they may not be able to dress well and to live in
grandeur. They should constantly remain terrified and
trembling. It in intended to hold them under contempt and to uphold the honor
and might of Islam..."

 Ayatollah
Khomeini (1902 - 1989) was a Shi`i Muslim cleric, philosopher and marja
(religious authority), and the political leader of the 1979 Iranian Revolution
which saw the overthrow of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran
and he had
said on August 24, 1979:
“Islam
grew with blood. The great Prophet of Islam carried in one hand the Quran and in
the other the sword.”
The
learned Qazi Mughis-ud-din of Bayana says on
conversion:
“Every
device short of massacre in cold blood was resorted to in order to convert
heathen subjects.”
As the
learned Qazi Mughis-ud-din declared, in accordance with the teachings of the
books on Canon Law:
"The
Hindus are designated in the Law as ‘payers of tribute’ (kharaj-guzar); and
when the revenue officer demands silver from them, they should, without question
and with all humility and respect, tender gold. If the officer throws dirt into
their mouths, they must without reluctance open their mouths wide to receive it.
By these acts of degradation are shown the extreme obedience of the zimmi [dhimmi],
the glorification of the true faith of Islam, and the abasement of false faiths.
God himself orders them to be humiliated , (as He says, ‘till they pay jaziya)
with the hand and are humbled…The Prophet has commanded us to slay them,
plunder them, and make them captive…No other religious authority except the
great Imam (Hanifa) whose faith we follow, has sanctioned the imposition of
jaziya on Hindus.
According
to all other theologians, the rule for Hindus is ‘Either
death or Islam".

"So
far as the Hindus were concerned, there was no improvement either in their
material and moral conditions or in their relations with the Muslims... almost
all other Mughal Emperors were notorious for their religious
bigotry. The Muslim law which imposed many disabilities and
indignities upon the Hindus...and thereby definitely gave them an inferior
social and political status, as compared to the Muslims, was followed by these
Mughal Emperors (and other Muslim rulers) with as much zeal as was displayed by
their predecessors, the Sultans of Delhi. The climax
was reached during the reign of Aurangzeb, who deliberately pursued the policy
of destroying and desecrating Hindu temples and idols with a thoroughness
unknown before or since."

 Dr.
Alok K. Bohara, professor
of economics at University of New Mexico has remarked about
the preposterous claims of Islamic televanglist, Dr. Zakir Naik thus:
"Dr.
Zakir Naik and President
of Islamic Research Foundation of Mumbai India), has
drawn the attention of many Hindus from around the world. This globe trotting
internet sensation has been accused of using selective quotes out of context
from various Puranas to cast dispersion on the Vedanta philosophy, the Bhagavad
Gita and their teachings. Using a rapid
fire Sanskrit chanting technique and misquotes, this Muslim scholar entertains
the vast audience, but in the process manages to offend many Hindus."
"Such
misinformation based on the innuendos and misinterpretation of the Purans and
the Vedas may not help patch the religious harmony between the Hindus and the
Muslims in a country like India.
Dr. Naik’s false teaching of the Gita needs to be debunked by the Vedanta
scholars. It has been widely acknowledged that the Gita’s teaching is
profoundly way ahead of its time with a vast appeal to people of many faiths and
creeds." His
loathing towards the Gita does not stop here. His criticism of vegetarianism in
defense of cow slaughter is quite outrageous too. He declares that the Hindu
belief in non-violence deprives us human of protein. According to him, our
breathing kills millions of bacteria, and thus the Hindu belief on vegetarian
diet and non-violence is unnatural and ridiculous. This should be offensive to
the great religions of Buddhism and Jainism. This clearly should also be
unacceptable to those who follow Gandhi's path. In fact, he ridicules Jainism
for influencing the early meat eating Vedic followers, and for converting them
into vegetarians.
