The inhumanity did not lie in the Indian nature, but the nature had fallen victim to the evil heritage of colonial history. Few realised how 1,000 years of their history had been stolen from them. Many tended to buy the fake and doctored version handed down to them as part of their colonial heritage. Some even saw a little political advantage in this trade. Dr. Pande heard a leading Hindu Mahasabha politician and religious leader, Mahant Digvijaynath, telling an election meeting that it is written in the Qur%u2019an that killing a Hindu was an act of goodness (thawab). Dr. Pande called upon the Mahant (High Priest) and told him that he had read the Qur%u2019an a few ti mes but didn%u2019t find such a statement in it, and he had, therefore, brought with him several English, Urdu and Hindi translations of the Qur%u2019an; so would he kindly point to him where exactly did the statement occur in the Qur%u2019an?
