After reading articles of the Aryas in the newspapers that they wished reconciliation with Muslims, I had presented a proposal for reconciliation in my article. But alas! They did not value it. Note from the editor of Badr : The Promised Messiah had, after observ- ing the abuse of the Aryas, already said in an earlier book why reconcil- iation with those people was not possible. Those words were printed in the book, Qadian kay A ryah aur Hamm as follows: Our Shariah offers the message of reconciliation to them (the Aryas), whereas their unholy beliefs are shooting arrows at us instigating war. We assert that you refrain from saying the Hindu elders are deceitful and false; rather, say that these peo- ple have forgotten their true religion after the passage of thou- sands of years. As opposed to us, these foul-natured people hurl vile abuse at our esteemed Prophets and consider them liars
