In the year A.D. 1000, he turned his attention to India and gave it a foretaste of total war which she did not know before. Jn Central Asia unlike in India wars were fought for destruction and not for incre acknowledgment of the eonqueror’s suzerainty—dtgvijaya. There were no laws, no morals to circumscribe the barbarities of war; and Nor- thern India, wrapped in the security which the Imperial Gurjars had provided, saw with startled awe, torrents of barbarians sweeping every thing before them, intent on murder, rape and loot.

Additional quotes by Kanaiyalal Maneklal Munshi

In its name, again, politicians in power adopt a strange attitude which, while it condones the susceptibilities, religious and social, of the minority communities, is too ready to brand similar susceptibilities in the majority community as communalistic and reactionary.

If however the misuse of this word 'secularism' continues...if every time there is an inter-communal conflict, the majority is blamed regardless of the merits of the questions; if our holy places of pilgrimage like Banaras, Mathura and Rishikesh continue to be converted into industrial slums... the springs of traditional tolerance will dry up.

The modern historian of India must approach her as a living entity with a central continuous urge, of which the apparent life is a mere expression. Without such an outlook, it is impossible to understand India, which…stands today strong…determined not to be untrue to its ancient self.
