  1. It has to be taken for granted from the latter course of events, that it is there, that they must have hatched some important conspiracy for the benefit of Hinduism.
  2. The first proof that contributes to this assertion is that Khushrukhan appointed his former Hindu Paria or Parwar brother to the governorship of Gujarat, his native province.
  3. The second very important pointer: Khushrukhan appointed openly in Delhi itself, for his own protection, thousands of his former Hindu warrior compatriots—at least twenty to thirty thousand strong—in the Muslim army.
  4. The Third Pointer: These manoeuvres of his were highly resented to by many of the Muslim grandees. But the innormost intention behind them all was kept so very secret that, it is doubtful, whether, it had by that time, become so crystal clear to Devaldevi or even to Khushrukhan himself, let alone the others! Faintly and slowly, yet surely enough, was that intention taking shape in their minds.
  5. The Fourth Pointer: Khushrukhan incited the most incapable Sultan like Mubarik to lead an expedition to the South to put down in good time, the rebellions of the conquered Hindus in the Deccan, and he himself accompanied him second-in-command.

And for the defence of his religion, the royal Hindu warrior bore it bravely.
  6. Thereafter, Mubarik returned with his army to Delhi. Because of these deeds of valour of his for the sake of a Muslim Sultan and the Muslim state, and because of his devastation of the Hindus, his rival Muslim grandees, too, could not breathe a single word against his unshakable faith in the Islamic religion. They could at the most, only whisper that there was danger of his overthrowing Sultan Mubarik and become the Sultan himself in his stead. But that, he would be a Muslim Sultan and none else, there was not the least doubt.
  7. But if at this very time that future conspiracy of a Hinduistic revolution, which was very strange and unheard of before, had germinated
