  1. The struggle on the two fronts in all the bloody wars fought at every Muslim invasion, right from the beginning of this modern age was hitherto unknown and unheard of. For the Greek, the Saka, the Hun and other invaders, who came pouring in down the plains of Punjab, was political domination of this country as their sole objective. Barring this political aim, their raids had never been occasioned by any cultural or religious hatred. On the other hand, these new Islamic enemies, not only aspired to crush the Hindu political power, and establish in its place Muslim sovereignty over the whole of India, but they also had seen things’ in their brains another fierce religious ambition, not heretofore dreamt of by any of the old enemies of India. Intoxicated by this religious ambition, which was many times more diabolic than their political one, these millions of Muslim invaders from all over Asia fell over India, century-after-century, with all the ferocity at their command, to destroy the Hindu religion which was the lifeblood of the nation. The Outrageous Christian Incursion
  2. To add to these catastrophic Muslim inroads over India, Christian nations like the Portuguese, the Dutch, the French, the British and others rushed upon our nation from the sea, round about the fifteenth century A.D.—even if we were to ignore the infiltration by the Syrian Christians in the Malabar during the 1st century A.D. This Christian offensive, like the Muslim one, was both political and religious and equally devilish. They also wrought havoc by converting millions of Hindus at the point of the bayonet—an account of which will be given at its proper place.
  3. Although the two fronts of this Muslim aggression, viz., the religious and political, were only the two parts of the same epic Hindu- Muslim struggle, their original forms, their weapons of war and their ultimate end, were altogether different. Naturally, they have to be discussed separately, as far as it is possible to do so.
  4. Hence, we shall first examine the religious aspect of the Muslim- Christian aggression over our country in Chapters VI to XII, and then in Chapters 13 to 22 of this book, we shall discuss its political side. ❑
