119. What is a Crisis?: A crisis is such a terrible state of danger where there is a complete certainty of a huge loss (destruction). The possibility of complete destruction is very less, i.e., almost negligible.

120. Signs of Crisis in K.K. Pa. Caste: From the religious and social signs of the K.K. Pa. caste (Kanbi caste) of that time, it will be realized that the caste had reached such a strange crisis situation religiously. Their customs and practices had become like Muslims [121:Page 342]. Some of whose signs were as follows.

Note: The references given with the signs mentioned below are just examples. Many such references are found in history.

1) True Hindu Religion was Left Behind: Hindu religion was left behind for hundreds of years. Except Krishna Janmashtami, almost all Hindu festivals were left behind. [88:Page 9].

2) Ban on Hindu Religious Kathas: Fine was imposed on listening to Hindu religious Katha stories68 .

3) Deprived of Education: The level of education was very low (almost negligible) [96:Page 6]. Children were not allowed to study [56:May-1972, Page 2 (195 of 522)][71:Page 23]. In the year 1904, there were only 10 people in the entire caste who had studied up to fifth standard [86:Page 11][6:Page 245].

4) Ali Became Ishtadev: Murtaza Ali Talib became the Ishtadev of Satpanth. Who is also called Nishkalanki Narayan. See point (‎57) mentioned above. [141:Page 45, 53, 54, 58, 60][52][139:Page 463 onwards][45:Page 81] [53:Page 40, 48].

5) Islamic Kalimas: Islamic Kalimas were recited in religious rituals [126].

6) Praises of Muslims in Religious Songs: Instead of Bhajans, Islamic Ginans⁷⁰ were sung. In one Ginan (Gorvani’s Ginan 6th, Stanza 4, Line 2) it is stated that “It is prophesied in Atharvaveda, all Hindus will become Muslim” [58:Page 295] [88:Page 488] [126:Page 285] [146:Page 225]. An audio-video⁷¹ was also released, in which women are heard singing this Ginan in a Khana.

7) Worship of Islamic Heroes: In the religious books of Satpanthis, there are praises of Islamic heroes like Allah, Muhammad, Ali, etc. [12][13][14][15][16][20][58][81][126][102][146]. There are many such scriptures, and also in many places in the original hand-written scriptures (Manuscript) of Satpanth.

8) Namaz and Name of Allah: While waking up in the morning or going to sleep at night, some people started taking the name of Allah [35:Page 148][72:Page 36][6:Page 505]. The Mukhi of the Khana used to teach Kanbis how to read Namaz [112:Page 8][6:Page 76].

9) Started Believing in Quran: The true Veda in Kaliyuga is Quran, which is called Atharva Veda. So they started believing in Quran [35:Page 148][56:Mar-1972 Page 28 (126 of 522)]

12) Lifestyle: When meeting someone, instead of the Hindu practice like “Ram Ram”.. a lifestyle of greeting each other with Muslim words like “He Jinda.. Kayam Paya / Pirshah“⁷⁴ was adopted [88:Page 375, 429][148:Page 23].

13) Chanting Pir Shah: Instead of rosaries of Hindu Gods, they started doing rosaries of “Pir Shah”, “Pir Shah” [88:Page 331, 375][113:Page 5][6:Page 62].

14) Religious Places of Islam: It had become common to bow down at Mazaars and Dargahs of Muslim Pirs in every village.

15) Adopted Islamic Rituals: All rituals of Hindu religion were stopped and Islamic rituals were adopted. Marriages were conducted by Nikah method by reading Kalima⁷⁵ and Duas and after death Burial⁷⁶ ritual was performed.

16) Sayyeds were considered Harivanshi (Lineage of Vishnu) Brahmin / Hussaini Brahmin: In the Harivansh⁷⁷ of Hindu God Vishnu from Murtaza Ali Talib to Sayyed Islam Shah and after that his descendants, who are all Muslims, such generations were inserted into Harivansh [113:Page 5][6:Page 63][88:Page 170][55]. Sayyeds were accepted as true Brahmins of Kaliyuga [86:Page 34]

Sayyeds were accepted as true Brahmins of Kaliyuga [86:Page 34]

20) Loot in the name of religious ‘Tax’ by force: In the name of propagation of religion, to collect money for Dasond, Lagas, religious taxes, the entourages of Pirana’s Kaka⁷⁸ used to come to Kampas of Kutch and Gujarat from time to time. See point (‎105) [88:Page 9, 31][148:Page 25, 117, 118 and 145]. If there is no money, then borrow, sell property, mortgage property with moneylender, do anything but money for Dasond and Lagas must be given to Kaka of Pirana and Mukhis. After death, the feast of Dado must be done, otherwise the soul will not get heaven, such fear was instilled. So that people somehow give money [113:Page 6][6:Page 63].

21) Abroad was not allowed to work: If a person goes abroad, he will stray from religion. Yet if someone has gone and when he returns, then he has to go directly to Khana. He cannot go home directly. Before that in Khana, he has to drink Paval. Tax for absolving sins and Dasond–Visond money has to be paid. Fine for forgiveness has to be paid. Until he goes to Khana and gets Chhant (Sprinkling)⁷⁹ done, eating and drinking was even forbidden for him in his own home [148:Page 21].

22) Circumcision (Sunnat): In informal discussions, stories about this used to be heard [148:Page 114]. Similarly, a chapter named “Khombhadi no Kisso” (The Incident of Khombhadi) is also very famous. In which, a committee of leaders sat to investigate Ramji Kaka’s circumcision. But at the last moment, the moderates played a role and the investigation work was left hanging. It was talked about that if Kaka’s circumcision was investigated, then the impression of the Mumna Muslims would become permanent and other Hindus would scorn the Kanbis. Showing this fear, this work was stopped at the last moment. Here we do not want to say anything with absolute certainty [148:Page 119, 120 and 130]. For more details, see Rameshbhai Vagadia’s pamphlet dated 13‑Oct‑2005. Even in the past, such talks used to emerge [94:Page 11]. Recently on date 18‑Jan‑2023, there was a meeting of Satpanthi and Sanatani leaders at Vandhay, there too the topic of circumcision was raised. There, one brother claimed with certainty that even today some people have secretly undergone circumcision. Of which there is also a note in the minutes book of Vandhay. (Subsequently added: [41:Page 214] [40: Page 98])

23) Numerous Atrocities: Many types of atrocities like economic exploitation, repression, which cannot be said and cannot be tolerated, were committed, which you must have understood. Because not all atrocities are written or spoken about. For that, one needs discretion and imagination [111:Page 12 and 15][6:Page 32 and 34][114:Page 52][6:Page 201].

24) Other Hindu communities started maintaining distance: Because Satpanthi was a Muslim religion.. other Hindu castes used to keep the Kanbis distant from themselves. They even practiced the custom of pouring drinking water from above [56:Feb-1972, Page 10 (68 of 522)][59:Page 24][113:Page 3][6:Page 61].

25) Complete power in the hands of Kakas and Mukhis: In the K.K.Pa (Kutch Kadva Patidar) caste, the Kakas and Mukhis had absolute, overwhelming power, against which no one had the courage to go [148:Page 24].

26) Death-like misery: Due to Pirana Satpanth, the degradation of the caste was such that the poor caste members were suffering a miserable condition like death [88:Page 20]. After ruining the innocent caste brothers, their turn came to starve [148:Page 26]. It used to be said that “Kanbi is an animal, not a human” [130:Page 5][6:Page 105].

27) Islam completely dominated: Islam had dominated the minds and brains of the caste. And most people had even accepted it with pride [88:Page 16].

28) Only changing the name was left remaining: If you look at all these signs, you will realize that in becoming a Muslim, only keeping a Muslim name was left remaining. Almost everything else of Muslims had been adopted.

In short, it can be said that, the above-mentioned characteristics of the caste show that, on one side Kaka/Mukhi and on the other side the Syed, the caste was trapped in the mouth of death having jaws (from the point of view of Hindus). The caste had reached a situation where it could not escape from the mouth of death at any time.

121. Description of this pitiable situation in the words of Narayan Bapa: The words used by the great pioneer reformer of K.K. Pa. caste, Shri Narayan Ramji Limbani, to describe this pitiable condition of his caste also say a lot. Which are as follows.

“Selfish leaders ran a tyrannical rule and made the Kutchi Kanbi community completely impotent. The so-called leaders are to be blamed for burning the essence and heroism of the Kanbi caste of Kutch and leaving the whole caste wandering in slavery in a state like impotence” [85:Page 1].

“They cannot escape from the various types of harassment by some so-called tyrant leaders in the Kanbi caste” [85:Page 2].
