Hinduism is a religion of pacifism, while the teachings of Muhammad will transform...
Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) poet, author, philosopher, Nobel prize laureate. Tagore was deeply critical of the British Raj in India.
He also made some statements to the press about the ghastly book by Katherine Mayo called Mother India, which was then a huge bestseller in the U.S. Mayo's book offers that other old myth of India: poor, backwards, savage. Tagore's aim was criticize an unjust practice (colonialism) and an international system (the League of Nations) which was thoroughly unsympathetic to the plight of colonized people in Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
He predicted that:
"It is possible that Hinduism might be a religion of the past before many years, and the inhabitants of India will be converted to Islam, by force."
"Hinduism is a religion of pacifism, while the teachings of Muhammad will transform even our peaceful Hindus into fanatics with a lust to fight. Even now Muhammadanism is spreading rapidly in India. You may not believe it, but the latest figures show that there are more Muhammadans here in Bengal today than there are Hindus. So if the Government falls into the hands of the Indian people it probably will mean Muhammadan rule again. "
