12.  High Lifestyle: About 550 years ago from today, the current Kutch Kadva Patidar community was living a life of happiness, peace, and prosperity in areas like Unjha, Ahmedabad, Viramgam, Anand, etc.

Their social, familial, religious, and spiritual life had reached such a high and superior level that vices like lies, deceit, conspiracy, treachery, cheating, etc. had no place in their lives.

But as it is said, with every virtue comes a vice. In the developmental sequence of life, they were living such a high ideal life, that they lost the power to recognize vices like lies, deceit, conspiracy, treachery, cheating, etc. Their life based on the original Sanatan Hindu Dharma was excellent. The social structure was also so good that a person doing such wrong deeds, could never live with self-respect holding their head high in society, due to which people refrained from doing wrong. They lived a very simple and clean life.

13.    Main Reason for Weakening: Their life became too simple and clean. Even eating too much salt harms the body. Similarly, excess of anything is also a kind of poison. Things are beneficial for the body only if they are in proportion. Their simplicity was excessive in proportion, due to which their simplicity itself became fatal for them. As a result, the community became very “Innocent and Naive” .

They became so naive to the extent that they stopped thinking discreetly about religion. If any fake ascetic told them something in the name of religion, they would accept it as truth [88:Page 17].

The height of innocence reached such an extent that they started believing in the principle that, “If we have done no bad to anyone, then no one will do bad to us”. Many people must have heard this from the mouths of elders. This principle is fine for sustaining morale in times of despair, but not for other situations. There is a very beautiful example of India in this regard.. that our then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru also got trapped in the talk of this principle. Due to which Nehru could not recognize the evil intent behind the Chinese slogan of “Hindi Chini Bhai Bhai” and that is why India lost the war against China in the year 1962.

When the power of understanding is lost in a subject, decisions on that subject are not taken with understanding. In such cases, explanation does not work. Then influence works. To cast influence, the use of miracles becomes the easiest way.

the fame of its prosperity and grandeur had spread across the world. India was called

But in the year 1192, after defeating Prithviraj Chauhan, Mohammad Ghori established the Islamic state in India. Islamic rule was established in Gujarat in the year 1297. Rather than taking the prosperity and grandeur looted from Indian people, i.e., Hindus, back to their country, they preferred to enjoy that loot here itself. So these Muslim kings started living in India.

These Muslim kings knew very well that it was impossible to run Islamic rule permanently over local Hindus who were much larger in numbers than them. To permanently enslave Hindus and loot their prosperity and grandeur to enjoy life, it was necessary to lay a foundation on which Islamic kings could rely. To keep their future secure, they needed people who would remain absolutely loyal to their Muslim king. Therefore, it was very necessary to convert Hindus to Muslims,

On the other hand, for the preachers of Islam, there was the mission of Ghazwa-e-Hind⁵. Which gave the label of morality from a religious point of view to the immoral act of forcibly converting Hindus to Muslims. Due to all such reasons, the work of making Hindus Muslims at any cost began.

Unfortunately, the K.K.P. community became a victim of religious conversion through the method of trickery. As mentioned earlier, the people of the community had become so innocent and naive that they could not recognize such a deep conspiracy. What is this conspiracy, how does it work and how the community was converted, is discussed further.

15.      Problems facing Islam: In the medium of trickery, “Sufi”⁶ saints played a major role among the preachers of Islam. These people came to India and to spread Islam, they used wise talks like love-unity-harmony-organization, the Almighty is one, call God by any name, the difference is only of language, everything else is the same. Hindus used to listen to their talks without understanding the purpose behind the talk. And under the guise of talks like Hindu Muslim are brothers, blood is the same, etc., Sufis used to preach their Islamic religion. But they were not as successful as needed. [32]

Historians state that despite making all efforts, Hindus were not becoming Muslims. all good-good idealistic tempting talks of Islam started failing. Greed and temptations to convert religion also started failing. Even generally adopted Saam-Daam-Dand-Bhed (Persuade, Purchase, Punish, Divide) yielded nothing but failure.

After the failure of all kinds of efforts, the matter reached their intellectual class. Intellectuals studied the lifestyle of Hindus. Intellectuals saw that Hindus listen to all the good-good talks of Islamic propagation, but after going to their homes, they remain Hindus only, they do not get converted i.e. do not become Muslims. When they went deep into the reasons behind this, intellectuals of Islam found two main reasons [27:Page 282 to 284].

Imagining 600 years ago, one will realize that mostly everyone lived in villages, did farming, and were ordinary people. At that time, such a system was generally there in every village.

At that time agriculture was the main occupation. People used to go to work in each other’s farms to help according to the need. Which is called “Veri” in Kutchi language. Similarly, whether it was the arrangement of accommodation for guests in wedding and funeral occasions or arrangement of cooking, all such facilities were arranged by family and society members together. In today’s modern age, labor can be found by spending money, necessary facilities can be created by spending money, such economic conditions and other facilities were not there in that era. People were heavily dependent on each other for their livelihood as well as family life.

In such a situation, if a Hindu got attracted towards Islam and accepted Islam religion, then immediately the people of his society used to boycott him. Due to which all cooperation from family and society stopped first and then non-cooperation was also done with him to bring him back to Hindu Dharma.

As a result, that person had no other option left but to return to Hindu Dharma. In this way, the social system acted as an armor protecting the Hindu society.

For the preachers of Islam, the dire need for some strategy to break this armor began to be felt.

16.      Trick/Strategy of Preachers of Islam – “Destruction of Ideology”: The preachers of Islam needed such a trick or strategy through which they could remove the above mentioned two main problems. This strategy of theirs works so secretly that a common person does not even get to know. Because if their strategy gets exposed, then no Hindu would become a victim of their strategy.

When the enemy is in much larger numbers than us and due to that it is not appropriate to fight a direct face-to-face battle with them, then the strategy which is used by aggressors, that strategy was used by the preachers of Islam. The name of this strategy is “Destruction of Ideology” which is called Ideological Subversion in English.

This strategy was absolutely suitable for the preachers of Islam. Because the Hindu society had become very “Innocent and Naive” due to its high lifestyle. Moreover, distressed by centuries of Islamic loot, being away from power and rule for a long time or due to being dependent on Islamic king, the Hindu society had become suppressed and exploited. In such a situation, it had lost the power to recognize the game being played with it. And if someone somewhere understood, then they did not have the courage to raise their voice against such games (due to being away from power and dependent).
