Explanation:

Statement 1 and 2: According to Barani, JalaluddinKhalji observed that even in the capital and provincial centres, the idols were publicly worshipped and the texts of Hinduism publicly preached.
• “The Hindus pass beneath the wall of the royal palace in processions. Singing, dancing and beating drums to immerse the idols in the Yamuna, and I am helpless”, he said.
• Despite the pressure of a section of the orthodox theologians, this policy of broad toleration was maintained during the Sultanate though with occasional lapses.
Statement 3: Sometimes, prisoners of war were converted, or criminals exempted from punishment if they accepted Islam. However, Firuz executed a brahmana on a charge of abusing the Prophet of Islam.
On the other hand there are some Instances of conversion of Muslims to Hinduism. Chaitanya, the great Vaishnava reformer, converted a number of Muslims.
