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

the Muslims, who considered to be Gazis, those scoundrels, who destroyed the whole university of Nalanda in flames and sat warming themselves at that bonfire and laughed scornfully and shamelessly as the valuable religious books of the Hindus were being reduced to ashes, had no moral right whatsoever to blame this incendiarism against the Muslim religion! 787A. This Hindu Samrat converted with their willing consent the young wives, daughters and nieces of the earlier Sultans and other Muslim women to Hinduism and married them to his Hindu Paria followers. 788-789. But more than this, this Hindu Dharmarakshak did not do! Even the Muslim historians do not mention any atrocities or religious persecution or plunder as having been committed by this Hindu Emperor as the Muslim aggressors were wont to do after overpowering any Hindu State. As against the wholesale forcible conversion of the Hindus, the brutal ravaging of Hindu women, the reckless destruction of Hindu property and temples, the Muslim historians have no grievous crime to attribute (impute) to this Hindu Emperor! Even if he had committed the very same atrocities on the Muslim community as a revenge against the Muslim diabolism towards the hapless Hindus, it would have been not a bit derogatory, but all the more glorious for this revolutionary Hindu Emperor! The non-Hindu aggressors would have taken the fright of their lives as never before, and it would have proved a deterrent to their perfidious activities! We have already made it amply clear that it is only the fierce retaliation that destroys atrocity, root and branch! 790. But the main reason why this Defender of Faith (Dharamarakshak Nasir-ud-din) did not commit any such revengeful atrocities on the Muslims must probably be his keen sense of the strength and weakness of his side. Were the whole of the Hindu community in the Indian sub-continent and the ruling Hindu kings of the time to lend him their immediate and active support—had his example in Delhi of reconverting to Hinduism the converted Muslims at their own free will, of turning masjids into Hindu temples and of other revolutionary activities of his, been copied in various towns and cities of India from Rajputana to Southern capitals—and had the Hindus risen openly against the Muslims and if the proclamation of the success of Hinduism were published openly, this Hindu Emperor would have persecuted the Muslims as were the Hindus actually before them and would have also launched a special military offensive against the Muslims and would have made it impossible for them to live as Muslims!
