Devoted to each other, even to heroism, blindly obedient to their chiefs, who profess themselves the immediate representatives of their dark divinity, regarding as enemies all who do not belong to them, gaining recruits everywhere by a frightful system of proselytising these apostles of a religion of murder go preaching their abominable doctrines in the shade, and spreading their immense net over the whole of India.
