The Autobiography of an Unknown Indian

“By the time the Muslims established their rule in the country (circa 1200 A. D.) the old inhabitants of the country, i. e. the Hindus, had lost their vitality to such an extent that they became incapable of dealing with or even facing a situation if it was difficult or unpleasant. So they surrendered to any situation that was created for them by history and tried to be at peace with their conscience by banishing it from their mind with soothing words.”
