Fellow Indonesian, (swariffin) also accepted that Islam was not spread by the sword, in the other thread, (Ask about Islam 2).
I have also stated my facts in this thread.

The concentration of the Muslim control were in the areas today majority Hindus, even if you add both the populations of the neighbouring Muslim countries, why are there still so many Hindus or other religion minorities in India?

Well swariffin may speak for Indonesia, that does not make him an authority on India, and I do not believe that was what he said.

My people were driven out of the Punjab region of India by advancing Muslim hordes.

The reason that the whole of India is not Muslim is, as I said before, India as we know it now was never one unified nation, it was a collection of kingdoms and empires, all with a rich heritage of warrior castes. The Sikhs successfully fought the Muslim invaders in the Punjab region for years and one of their Gurus was martyred for his faith. By the time India took its current shape the British were in charge.

Now, answer my previous post about Saudi domestic slavery and Pakistani slave boys.

Hi

That is a bad thing they are doing; never authorised by Islam/Quran/Muhammad.

I love Jesus and Mary

Muslim conquest in the Indian subcontinent

The Muslim conquest in the Indian subcontinent mainly took place from the 11th to the 17th centuries, though earlier Muslim conquests made limited inroads into the region, beginning during the period of the ascendancy of the Rajput Kingdoms in North India, from the 7th century onwards.

Throughout its history the Indian subcontinent has been frequently subject to invasion, from the North-West by Central Asian nomadic tribes and the Persian Empire.[1] With the fall of the Sassanids and the arrival of the Caliphates, these region were integrated into Muslim dynasties of Central Asian heritage;

initially Turkic people and later Mongol and Turco-Mongol people.[1] Unlike earlier conquerors who assimilated into prevalent social systems, Muslim conquerors retained their Islamic identity and created legal and administrative systems that challenged and destroyed existing systems of social conduct, culture, religious practices, lifestyle and ethics.[1]

The first foray by the new Muslim successor states of the Sassanid Empire occurred around 664 CE during the Umayyad Caliphate, led by Al Muhallab ibn Abi Suffrah towards Multan in Southern Punjab, in modern day Pakistan.

Al Muhallab’s expeditions were not aimed at conquest, though they penetrated only as far as the capital of the Maili, he returned with wealth and prisoners of war. This was an Arab incursion and part of the early Umayyad push onwards from the Islamic conquest of Persia into Central Asia, and within the limits of the eastern borders of previous Persian empires.

The last Arab push in the region would be towards the end of Umayyad reign under Muhammad bin Qasim, after whom the Arabs would be defeated by the Rajputs at the Battle of Rajasthan in 738, and Muslim incursions would only be resumed under later Turkic and Pathan dynasties with more local capitals, who supplanted the Caliphate and expanded their domains both northwards and eastwards.

Muslim conquest in the Indian subcontinent

It took several centuries for Islam to spread across India and how it did so is a topic of intense debate. Some quarters hold that Hindus were forcibly converted to Islam by the establishment of Jizya and Dhimmitude favoring Muslim citizens, and the threat of naked force: the “Conversion by the Sword Theory.” Others hold that it occurred through inter-marriage, conversions, economic integration, to escape caste structures, and through the influence of Sufi preachers.[2]

Paarsurrey says:

Hi

Muhammad never himself used sword to spread Islam and he never instructed any body to use it to convert others to Islam by sword.

What some Muslim Princes, Rulers, Caliphs and Monarchs did is another thing; they were perhaps politically motivated; they never had any instructions to do it for conversion to Islam by Quran/Islam/Muhammad.

If anybody thinks otherwise; he should kindly quote from Quran; please quote just a single verse with the context, connected and adjacent verses, to prove your point.

I know there is none.

I love Jesus and Mary as I do love Buddha and Krishna

Sufism and spread of Islam

Sufis (Islamic mystics) played an important role in the spread of Islam in India. They were very successful in spreading Islam, as many aspects of Sufi belief systems and practices had their parallels in Indian philosophical literature, in particular nonviolence and monism.

The Sufis’ unorthodox approach towards Islam made it easier for Hindus to practice. Hazrat Khawaja Muin-ud-din Chisti, Qutub-Ud-Din Bakhtiyar Kaki, Nizam-ud-din Auliya, Shah Jalal, Amir Khusro, Sarkar Sabir Pak, Shekh Alla-ul-Haq Pandwi, Makhdoom Ashraf Simnani, Waris Pak trained Sufi groups for the propagation of Islam in different parts of India.

Once the Islamic Empire was established in India, Sufis invariably provided a touch of colour and beauty to what might have otherwise been rather cold and stark reigns. The Sufi movement also attracted followers from the artisan and untouchable communities; they played a crucial role in bridging the distance between Islam and the indigenous traditions.

Ahmad Sirhindi, a prominent member of the Naqshbandi Sufi advocated the peaceful conversion of Hindus to Islam.

It is simple. The Hindus were able to give back the Muslims almost as much trashing as they got from them. The Muslims faced much Hindu resistence and its dishonest to claim the Muslim invaders were a ‘peace-loving bunch’.
