"The cries of our murdered children in their death agonies are still ringing in our ears ... We remember how we choked & stifled our babies cries lest the sound should betray our hiding place."
Testimonials of Hindu victims of 1921 Moplah genocide in Letter to Lady Reading

"Pregnant women cut to pieces & left on the roadside & jungles with the unborn babe protruding from the mangled corpse; of our innocent & helpless children torn from our arms & done to death before our eyes .. & our husbands & fathers, tortured, flayed & burnt alive."

"Our helpless sisters forcibly carried away from the midst of kith & kin & subjected to every shame & outrage which the vile & brutal imagination of these inhuman hell hounds could conceive ... 100s of our homesteads reduced to cindermounds out of sheer savagery."

"Wells full of rotting skeletons, the ruins of which were our dear homes, the heaps of stones which were once our places of worship...We remember how driven out of our native hamlets we wandered starving & naked in the jungles"

"Wells & tanks filled up with mutilated but often only half dead bodies of our nearest & dearest ones who refused to abandon the faith of our Fathers....our places of worship desecrated & destroyed... images of the deity shamefully insulted with entrails of slaughtered cows"

"We still vividly realize the moral & spiritual agony that 1000s of us passed through as we were forcibly converted by bloodthirsty miscreants... forcibly converted & then married to convict coolies. For 5 long months, not a day has passed without its dread of horror to unfold"

Hindus have experienced the horror of multiple holocausts like Moplah where we mourned our beheaded babies, fetuses ripped from wombs, mothers slaughtered, brothers massacred, homes & temples destroyed due to Jihad. This is why Hindus identify & empathize with Israelis today.
