"About a century before the capture of Constantinople, when Amurath I was on the throne, his vizier suggested to him that . he had a right not only to one-fifth of the spoils of battle, but also to one-fifth of the captives. "Let officers be stationed at Gallipoli," he said, "and as the Christians pass by, let them choose the fairest and strongest of the Christian boys to become your soldiers." Thus was formed the famous corps of the Janizaries. To keep it up, the agents of the sultan went once in four years to all the Christian villages under Turkish control. Every boy between six and nine years of age must be brought before them, and the agents carried away one-fifth of the number, carefully selecting the strongest and most intelligent."

"The Spaniards arrived ...near the entrance to Tenochtitlan. That was the end of the march, for they had reached their goal. Thus Motecuhzoma went out to meet them... He presented many gifts to the Captain [Cortés] and his commanders, those who had come to make war. He showered gifts upon them and hung flowers around their necks...When the Spaniards were installed in the palace, they asked Motecuhzoma about the city's resources and reserves and about the warriors' ensigns and shields. They questioned him closely and then demanded gold...The Spaniards hanged a chief named Nezahualquentzin. They also murdered [another] by wounding him with arrows and then burning him alive...That is how they celebrated the first day of the fiesta. On the second day they began to sing again, but without warning they were all put to death. The Spaniards attacked the musicians first, slashing at their hands and faces until they had killed all of them. The singers-and even the spectators- were also killed. This slaughter in the Sacred Patio went on for three hours. "

"It is known that neither Indian nor Negro contends in dignity and esteem with the Spaniard; nor do any of the others envy the lot of the Negro, who is the "most dispirited and despised." . . If the mixed-blood is the offspring of a Spaniard and an Indian, the stigma disappears at the third step in descent because it is held as systematic that a Spaniard and an Indian produce a mestizo; a mestizo and a Spaniard, a castizo; and a castizo and a Spaniard, a Spaniard... Because it is agreed that from a Spaniard and a Negro a mulato is born; from a mulato and a Spaniard, a morisco...The same thing happens from the union of a Negro and Indian, the descent begins as follows: Negro and Indian produce a lobo [wolf]; lobo and Indian, a chino; and chino and Indian, an albarazado [white spotted]; all of which incline towards the mulato."

"The Empire Babur founded was a sophisticated civilization based on religious toleration. It was a mixture of Persian, Mongol and Indian culture. Under Babur Hinduism was tolerated and new Hindu temples were built with his permission. Trade with the rest of the Islamic world, especially Persia, was encouraged. Babur’s first act after conquering Delhi was to forbid the killing of cows because that was offensive to Hindus. Babur’s grandson, Akbar the Great also won the support of his Hindu subjects through his policy of toleration. He opened government jobs to Hindus of all castes and treated Hindu princes as his partners in ruling the vast empire. He ended the tax on non-Muslims and himself married a Hindu princess."
