"In the United Provinces it is believed that there are now
   about 40,000 members of the Arya Samaj. I have entirely failed
   to secure any trustworthy estimate of the number of its
   members in this province [the Punjab], but there are
   flourishing branches of the Samaj in every large town and in
   many of the important villages, and proselytism is being
   actively pursued with marked success. The members of the Samaj
   strenuously deny that their organization has a political side.
   The literature of the sect, and particularly the writings of
   their founder, the ardent ascetic Dayanand Saraswati, who came
   from Kathiawar, show no trace of any interest in mundane
   politics. Dayanand was an enthusiast who denounced the
   idolatrous tendencies of modern Hinduism, and advocated a
   return to the earlier, purer faith. … Dayanand’s clarion call
   of "Back to the Vedas" produced a complete revulsion of
   feeling, and he made the Punjab a stronghold of the new creed.
   For that reason, the Arya Samaj is to this day the bitterest
   opponent of Christianity in India; and Punjabi Mahomedans
   declare that it is also their most formidable foe."
