5th Glorious Epoch: Super-Diabolic Counter Offensive The Only Answer

Six Glorious Epochs of Indian History: Chapter IX

As we saw Hindu society suffered tremendous numerical losses due to forceful conversions and many other reason discussed in last chapter. Its only due to prophetic social and religious reformers, astute diplomats, gigantic thinkers and philosophers the total extinction of Hindus was avoided.

Maharshi Deval (800-900A.D) 

• Both of these were critic of Manusmriti. They had pointed out to the Hindus brave new ways, new religious thoughts, new weapons which were calculated to bring them success.
• They found that the laws of behaviour laid down in different Smritis were in every way powerless to counteract the armed religio-political aggression of the enemy.
• Deval Smriti: Any Hindu man or woman if shows desire to come back after forceful conversion to Islam to be reconverted to Hinduism. Also, a Woman forcibly converted to Islam, or who served in Muslim households or a slave should be completely absorbed in the Hindu society. Even a pregnant woman was to be considered as a bar of gold after being heated in the goldsmith's chafing dish once her foetus came out after delivery.
• However, Deval Smriti failed to care about the children of these pregnant women who were handed over to Muslims.
• Still in these adverse circumstances this religious revolt of hundreds of Hindu leaders like Deval and others was not a small thing.
• Due to this Muslims were completely beaten down in Sindh on two front, political as well as religious. Within 30 years of Kasim's invasion Sindh was reconquered and for next two hundreds years resisted successfully all attacks.
• Above was written by Muslim writer Al Biladuri in "In  the days of Tamim".

Acharya Medhatithi (850-950 A.D.)

• The guidance by Acharya Medatithi became like Arthashastra of Arya Chanakya.
• To the whole Aryavarta he wanted to teach once again the lesson of expansionism and victorious imperialism.
• The Aryan slogan "Krunvanto Vishram Aryam" (We are going to make the whole World Aryan) became popular.
• He rendered not only all the silly 'codes of conduct' but even the smritis that called them caste-laws absolutely defunct and valueless.
• To invade another kingdom especially an enemy state - can never be an injustice in political sciences. Its a duty of King to crush the enemy before he invades you. Protection of Aryavarta is the supreme duty of a king.
• Even if neighbouring Non-Aryan kingdom is not guilty of anything and stronger than Aryan kingdom, we should ourselves form alliance with other friendly or unfriendly powers and go to war against this non-aryan state, the moment we are assured of success.
• He favoured an invincible and victorious Bharatiya Empire by uniting all Kingdoms small or big. 
• Under Kingly duties he emphasized once you are engaged in war with the enemy you should throw kindness and generosity to the winds and crush the enemy outright.
• In th war the so-called virtues like honesty, simplicity, consistency in speech and action and politeness, gentility and generosity themselves prove fatal to the nation. Hence, a king should not fall a prey to them - should keep himself aloof from them.
• At least some Hindu states followed these principles like Chanakya's ideal disciple Chandragupta, crossed boundaries of Aryavarta and waged successful wars against the Muslim powers.
• In North frontier Hindu states were forced not to cross but defend their boundaries. Yet after Mahmud of Ghazni for 150 years Southern state remained independent and powerful.
• South states like the Kalingas, the Pandyas, the Cheras, Cholas and other Hindu states sent powerful naval expeditions across the Western (upto African coast) and Eastern (upto Chinese) seas.
• Kings like Rajendra Chola marched with his naval forces, through Burma, Pegu the Andamans and the Nicobars and other archipelagos, Java, Indo-China, Thailand, Lakshadiv and Maldiva Island in Western Sea and Conquered Ceylon in Southern Ocean.

It is doubtless that on the strength of religious authority of Medhatithi illumined by the glorious tradition of Chanakya these Victorious Hindu naval forces conquered kingdom after kingdom.
