Hence the outrageously aggressive tone of his writings wherever he alludes either to Christianity or to Mahomedanism.

They have carried over the caste ideas from their old to their new religion.
According to this reasoning, it must be apparent to you that railways are a most dangerous institution. Man has therefore gone further away from his Maker. READER: But I am impatient to hear your answer to my question. Has the introduction of Mahomedanism not unmade the nation?
