"Razvi, of the fiery eyes and passionate oratory, was a fanatic with a single-track mind. He believed himself to be a heaven-appointed leader whose mission it was to liberate the Muslims of the Deccan from the Indian Union. But this was only the first step. The next was to be the annexation of the Cirears, the east coast districts of the Province of Madras, to Hyderabad. His Muslim crusaders were then to march to Delhi to replant the Asafia flag on the Red Port of the Moghuls, and never were they to rest till 'the waves of the Bay of Bengal washed the feet of our sovereignâ. He insisted on the right of the Muslims to enslave the Hindu, who was none but a âkafirâ and âa worshipper of stone and monkeyâ; âwho drinks cowsâ urine and eats cow-dung in the name of religionâ; who is âa barbarian in every sense of the wordâ, On the other hand, to be a Muslim was to invite danger; âa Muslim is one who would set at naught all the earthly powÂŹ ers and make the whole world his enemyâ."
