- Just as perhaps some adventurous mountaineer should, in the excitement of his almost impracticable ambition to scale the highest peak of the Himalayas and to hoist his national flag there before anybody else does it, climb on and on, and after reaching some altogether different peak should victoriously cry out, ‘This is the very same highest peak!’ when all at once, the seemingly highest peak should give way under the heavy load of his ambition, being made as it really is, not of any solid rock, but of a frozen heap of snowflakes, and the ambitious climber should topple down and fall headlong from crag to crag into the deep ravine of destruction along with the bits and fragments of his signal victory—in the very same way, the Muslim ambition to establish the centralized paramount Muslim power over the whole of India was beguiled for a while, and ultimately came to naught. All the Asian Muslim States right from the Arabs to the Mongols invaded India one after another and carried on for seven or eight centuries continuously the bitterest, bloodiest and cruellest wars and at last, when in the regime of Allauddin, practically the whole of India passed under the Muslim sway round about the year A.D. 1310, the Muslim ambition seemed to be almost fulfilled! But, as it is already told, with a hard knock from the resurgent Hindu valour, the Muslim rule collapsed from the highest peak of success attained by Sultan Allauddin and was shattered to pieces within only seven or eight years, never to rise to that giddy height again! The Hindu might went on increasing like the crescent moon! Death of ‘Crazy’ Mohammad and after
- This ‘crazy’ Sultan Mohammad died in A.D. 1351 and his tottering crown with the disintegrating Sultanate of Delhi passed on to his cousin ‘Pherozshah Tughlak’. This Pherozshah’s mother was the daughter of the Rajput King Malbhatti of Deepalpur. When Pherozshah’s father demanded her (that Rajput Princess) in marriage, King Malbhatti flatly refused to give her up, whereupon Pherozshah’s father marched on Malbhatti and began to persecute the Hindus most cruelly. The princess could not bear the inhuman sufferings of her father and her Hindu brethren in the kingdom. So, she volunteered to marry Pherozshah’s father. However praiseworthy the tenderness of her heart might be, it has permanently stained her father’s family. Had she swallowed fire like some Padmini of Chitod and followed the path of martyrdom for the sake of religion, her life and her family tradition would both have been for ever glorified! The Superstitious Muslims!
