Islamic Imperialism in Indiadefeated and captured in his first attack. Despite his many brutal attacks on the northern borders <strong>of</strong> India,involving mass murder, enslavement, plunder and pillage, Prithviraj Chauhan forgave and honorably releasedthe aggressor without inflicting any punishment or humiliation. Within a few months, Ghauri regrouped andattacked Prithviraj again defeating the chivalrous Hindu King. 483 Muhammad Ghauri repaid Prithviraj’searlier generosity by pulling out his eyes before killing him. 484Further evidence <strong>of</strong> the contrast between the Hindu and Muslim codes <strong>of</strong> war comes fromFerishtah’s narration <strong>of</strong> Deccan Sultan Muhammad Shah’s attack against King Krishna Ray <strong>of</strong> Vijaynagarkingdom in 1366. Muhammad Shah had vowed to slaughter 100,000 infidels in the attack and ‘the massacre<strong>of</strong> the unbelievers was renewed in so relentless a manner that pregnant women and children at the breasteven did not escape the sword,’ records Ferishtah. 485 The Muslim army in a treacherous surprise-attack putKrishna Ray on the flight and 10,000 <strong>of</strong> his soldiers were slain. Muhammad Shah’s ‘thirst for vengeancebeing still unsatisfied, he commanded the inhabitants <strong>of</strong> every place around Vijaynagar to be massacred,’records Ferishtah.Krishna Ray dispatched ambassadors to make peace, which Muhammad Shah refused. Thereupon,one <strong>of</strong> the Sultan’s favorite advisor reminded him that ‘he had only sworn to slaughter one hundred thousandHindus, and not to destroy their race altogether.’ The sultan replied that ‘twice the number required by thisvow might have been slain,’ yet he was neither willing to make peace nor spare the subjects. 486 This meansthat nearly 200,000 people were slaughtered in this campaign. The ambassadors were, at length, able toconclude peace by paying a large sum <strong>of</strong> money on the spot and pleaded with the Sultan to let them speak.According to Ferishtah, ‘Being permitted to speak, they observed that no religion required the innocent to bepunished for the crimes <strong>of</strong> the guilty (kings), more especially helpless women and children: if Krishn Ray hadbeen in fault, the poor and feeble inhabitants had not been accessory to his errors. Mahomed Shah repliedthat decrees <strong>of</strong> Providence (i.e., from Allah such as in Quran 9:5 to slaughter the idolaters) had been orderedwhat had been done, and that he had no power to alter them.’ At length, the ambassadors were able to rouse ahumane sense in Muhammad Shah, as adds Ferishtah, ‘(he) took an oath that he would not, hereafter, put todeath a single enemy after a victory, and would bind his successors to observe the same line <strong>of</strong> conduct.’ 487On the contrast between the Hindu and Islamic codes <strong>of</strong> war, John Jones observes: ‘It is a curious fact that thehideous and bloody monster <strong>of</strong> religious intolerance was hardly known in India until, first the followers <strong>of</strong>Mohammed and secondly, the disciples <strong>of</strong> the meek and lowly Jesus (i.e. Portuguese), began to invade theland.’ 488 Arthur Schopenhauer (d. 1860), one <strong>of</strong> the greatest nineteenth-century philosophers, narrates thesordid tale <strong>of</strong> the Islamic invasion <strong>of</strong> India as follows: '...the endless persecutions, the religious wars, thatsanguinary frenzy <strong>of</strong> which the ancients (<strong>of</strong> India) had no conception! The destruction or disfigurement <strong>of</strong> theancient temples and idols, a lamentable, mischievous and barbarous act still bears witness to the monotheisticfury... carried on from Mahmud, the Ghaznevid <strong>of</strong> cursed memory, down to Aurangzeb... We hear nothing <strong>of</strong>this kind in the case <strong>of</strong> the Hindoo.’ 489 English novelist Aldous Huxley (1894–1963), in likening the atrocioushistory <strong>of</strong> Islam with that <strong>of</strong> later Christianity, wrote in Ends and Means:483.

Islamic JihadIt is an extremely significant fact that, before the coming <strong>of</strong> the Mohammedans, there wasvirtually no persecution in India. The Chinese pilgrim Hiuen Tsang, who visited India in the firsthalf <strong>of</strong> the seventh century and has left a circumstantial account <strong>of</strong> his 14 years in the country,makes it clear that Hindus and Buddhist lived side by side without any show <strong>of</strong> violence. NeitherHinduism nor Buddhism is disgraced by anything corresponding to the Inquisition; neither wasever guilty <strong>of</strong> such iniquities as the Albigensian crusade or such criminal lunacies as thereligious wars <strong>of</strong> the 16 th and 17 th centuries. 490Indisputably, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism arose in India as a revolt against Hinduism. Although Hinduismhad its shortcomings, these new religious <strong>of</strong>f-shoots grew from the midst <strong>of</strong> the Hindu society without facingany persecution <strong>of</strong> the type Islam brought to India or meted out to its revolting heretics throughout Islam’shistory. The Christian persecution and brutality caused death <strong>of</strong> millions <strong>of</strong> Pagans, Jews, heretics, apostatesand witches in Europe, South America and India’s Goa. In Islam, Prophet Muhammad himself had orderedexecution <strong>of</strong> critics and apostates <strong>of</strong> Islam, while the killing and torture <strong>of</strong> apostates and heretics havecontinued ever since to this day. It should be noted that Buddhism was a flourishing religion in Central andSoutheast Asia and was quite vigorous in parts <strong>of</strong> India at the time <strong>of</strong> Islam’s birth. Islam has nearlyextinguished this most humane and peaceful ancient religious creed from India. It extinguished Paganismfrom Arabia by the sword in the life-time <strong>of</strong> Muhammad. Zoroastrianism in Persia and Christianity in theLevant, Egypt, and Anatolia etc. have suffered near extinction caused by the violent exertions <strong>of</strong> Islam. Itshould be noted that, to escape the brutal persecution <strong>of</strong> Islam, tens <strong>of</strong> thousands <strong>of</strong> Zoroastrians (Persis) fledto India, where—welcomed by the Hindu society—they live as a peaceful and well-<strong>of</strong>f community till today.However, they suffered Islamic persecution in India too, after the Muslim invaders later occupied India.Sultan Ibrahim, a Ghaznivid descendent <strong>of</strong> Sultan Mahmud, marched to India; and according to historianNizamuddin Ahmad, the author <strong>of</strong> Tabakat-I Akbari, ‘he conquered many towns and forts, and amongst themwere a city exceedingly populous, inhabited by a tribe <strong>of</strong> Khurasani descent (Persis), whom Afrasiyah hadexpelled from their native country. It was completely reduced… he took away no less than 100,000captives.’ 491Indian tolerance in the eyes <strong>of</strong> Muslim chroniclersThe humanity, tolerance and chivalry <strong>of</strong> Indians also caught the attention <strong>of</strong> Muslim historians. The Arabgeographer Abu Zaid wrote <strong>of</strong> the rulers and people <strong>of</strong> Sarandib (Sri Lanka), an extension <strong>of</strong> Indiancivilization, that in late ninth century, ‘There are numerous colonies <strong>of</strong> Jews in Sarandib, and people <strong>of</strong> otherreligions, especially Manicheans. The King allows each sect to follow its own religion.’ 492 Al-Masudi, afamous Muslim historian and traveler, writing in the early tenth century, describes the disposition <strong>of</strong> the mostpowerful Indian king, Balhara, toward Muslim settlers <strong>of</strong> his kingdom. He placed Balhara (Rashtrakutadynasty, South India) in the same league <strong>of</strong> the world’s three greatest monarchs: the caliph <strong>of</strong> Baghdad, theemperors <strong>of</strong> China and Constantinople. 493 On Balhara’s treatment <strong>of</strong> Muslims, noted al-Masudi: ‘Of all thekings <strong>of</strong> Sindh and India, there is no one who pays greater respect to the Musalmans than Balhara. In hisKingdom, Islam is honored and protected.’ 494 Al-Masudi’s description (916–17) <strong>of</strong> a large Muslimcommunity near Bombay, created by Arabian and Iraqi pepper and spice traders who had settled there, isalready noted. This Muslim community was ‘granted a degree <strong>of</strong> political autonomy by the local raja’ and490.
