132 Mahzarnama wrote in his book Asbaab-e-Baghawat-e-Hind (The Causes of Indian Mutiny): "While the Muslims were under the peaceful protection of our Government, they had no right to wage Jehad within the lawful jurisdiction of the Government. Some twenty to thirty years ago a renowned Maulvi Muhammad Isma'eel preached the message of Jehad in India and motivated people to embark on Jehad. At that time he declared clearly that the residents of India who live under the peaceful protection of the British Government, had no right to conduct Jehad within India.
