Fall of the Mughal Empire v1.c8.s5.4

v1.c8.s5.4

As the contemporary Gangārām writes: "As soon as Bhaskar arrived again, he summoned all his captains and ordered them, "Draw your swords and kill every man and woman that you see." When the commander spoke thus, they plundered and slew on every side with shouts of *kill! kill!!* Brahmans, Vaishnavs, Sannyāsis, women and cows were slaughtered by hundreds." The universal outrage committed on women by the raiders as reported by this observer has been mentioned already.
