During the Arab invasion of Sindh (712 C. E.), Muhammad bin Qasim first attacked Debal, a word derived from Deval meaning temple. It was situated on the sea-coast not far from modern Karachi. It was garrisoned by 4000 Kshatriya soldiers and served by 3000 Brahmans. All males of the age of seventeen and upwards were put to the sword and their women and children were enslaved. 700 beautiful females,

who were under the protection of Budh (that is, had taken shelter in the temple), were all captured with their valuable ornaments, and clothes adorned with jewels.” Muhammad despatched one-fifth of the legal spoil to Hajjaj which included seventy-five damsels, the rest four-fifths were distributed among the soldiers. Thereafter whichever places he attacked like Rawar, Sehwan, Dhalila,

Brahmanabad and Multan, Hindu soldiers and men with arms were slain, the common people fled, or, if flight was not possible, accepted Islam, or paid the poll tax, or died with their religion. Many women of the higher class immolated themselves in Jauhar, most others became prize of the victors. These women and children were enslaved and converted, and batches of them were dispatched to the Caliph

in regular installments.

Of the 56 God-realised souls on earth, the five Perfect Masters are the most important. And the one who is the highest of all is the Avatar, myself. I come every 700 to 1400 years, and it is undoubtably a very rare and lucky thing for each of you to have the opportunity of loving me individually, since even the Sadgurus long to touch the Avatar physically. When the world is in the grip of pain,

misery, suffering and chaos, I manifest myself. Spirituality then reaches its pinnacle, and materialism is at its lowest level. Then again, with the passing of time, spirituality diminishes and materialism increases. From the beginning of time this game has been going on, and it will go on for an eternity.

Am 29. November 1864 griff eine Einheit der Colorado Kavallerie mit einer Stärke von über 700 Mann ein friedliches Dirf der Chayenne am Centcreek in Colorado an. Die Indianer zeigten die amerikanische Flagge und eine weisse Fahne als Zeichen der Ergebung. Trotzdem griff die kavallerie an und metzelte 500 Indianer nieder, von denen mehr als die Hälfte Frauen und Kinder waren. Über 100 Männer

wurden skalpiert, Körper verstümmelt, Frauen vergewaltigt. General Nelson E. Miles, Staatschef der Armee, bezeichnete dieses Massacker als das vielleicht unmenschlichste Verbrechen, in den analen der amerikanischen Geschichte.
