- An anecdote of this time of the Tughlaks, which is recorded in history, may be related here so that the reader might have some idea of the extent the superstitious nature of the Muslims could go to, and of the influence the religious credulity and fanaticism of the Arabs invariably had over the Muslims of later days, ever since the inception of Muslim religion. 828A. In order to atone for the crazy religious acts and the harassment of the subjects by the ‘mad’ Mohammad (setting aside the religious persecution of Hindus, which was deemed harmonious with the tenets of the Muslim religion), Sultan Pherozshah interned with the bones of the late ‘mad’ Mohammad, the original papers regarding the reimbursement of the unjust land revenue collected by him, refund of fines and compensation for the other unjust acts of his, or their governmental acknowledgments along with other original papers signed by Mohammed himself.

- Thus was the Muslim imperial power, which had reached its zenith round about the years A.D. 1310-12 in Allauddin’s times as a result of the incessant Hindu-Muslim wars for about six or seven centuries, and which had spread over almost the whole of India, dissolved by the very descendant of the same illustrious Sultan, for he could not help yielding to the powerful Hindu resistance.
