भारतीय इतिहास के ६ स्वर्णिम पृष्ठ (वीर सावरकर - विदेशी आक्रान्ताओं पर विजय गाथा)

life is Hinduism and the blood that throbs into my veins and arteries is that of a Hindu. Now that I have won independent and powerful status of a Sultan for myself, I am hereby breaking off the shackles of conversion to a foreign religion, and I do hereby declare that I am a Hindu! I have now ascended publicly the throne of the vast and entire, undivided India as a Hindu Emperor! Similarly, Sultana Devaldevi till very recently was originaly a Hindu daughter. Her husband, the Raja of Devgiri, Shankardev Yadav, was most brutally murdered and she was treacherously captured from her father sneaking miserably through dense forest to avoid seizure by the enemy. She was brought to Delhi and put to shame and ignominous disgrace by being forced to marry Khijrakhan, in the first place, and secondly after his brutal murder, Sultan Mubarik, who was killed in the coup d'etat last night.

Nasir-ud-din, roughly speaking, means a sort of a defender of faith or religion! Hence, this Hindu Emperor made it clear in the said proclamation that ‘Din’ or religion that he was going to defend was not Islam! Naturally, it must be the Hindu religion! It is, therefore, proper that his name Nasir-ud-din should be translated as the Defender of Hindu Religion—Hindu dharmarakshak! The Unprecedented Revolution! 784. As soon as this unheard of revolution, transforming the India-wide Muslim Empire into the Hindu one, suddenly within a day, was
