An Open Deception Against Ahmadiyyat

It is an astounding degree of deception with which the allegation is made that the Promised Messiah (as) conceded that he himself was ‘khud kashta pauda of the British’. One wonders that these people have no fear of God and they try to convey the impression that the Promised Messiah (as) acknowledged that he himself, as well as the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama‘at, were ‘khud kashta pauda of the British’—that is, God forbid, he was a plant which was implanted by the British and his religious dispensation was also founded by the British. When you read that particular excerpt in which the expression ‘khud kashta pauda’ is found, the context of its use is quite evident.

Lieutenant Governor, Sir William Makeworth Young, was a staunch Christian and took a hostile view of the running battle raging fully at that time between the Promised Messiah (as) and Christianity. The opponents sent memorandums to him alleging that the Promised Messiah (as) was the arch enemy of the British government and Christianity and urged the Government to execute him. It was against this backdrop that the Promised Messiah (as) wrote:

‘I have been informed consistently that some jealous persons who are ill-disposed to me, either on account of difference of religious belief or for some other reason, harbour malice and enmity towards me—or such persons who are the enemies of my friends—submit counter-factual reports to the higher officials of the Government against me and my friends. This persistent flow of misinformation on their part is likely to cause ill feelings in the mind of the esteemed government, and it is likely that all those services … may be laid waste … ’1
