Why did Muslims fail to convert India to Islam? They successfully stomped out Zoroastrianism in Iran and Christianity in the Levant, North Africa, and Anatolia. So why did they fail to stomp out Hinduism? Unlike Christianity and Zoroastrianism, Hinduism was explicitly polytheist, so surely they would have had much more of an incentive to eradicate it?

Tbf I don’t think a Muslim India would be any better, just look at Pakistan and Bangladesh which are both just Muslim India.
>>
>>18510567
It took muslims 400 to 600 years to become a strong majority in most of the landa you listed (aside Western North Africa)
Moghuls and the previous dynasties simply didnt had enough time to make muslims the dominant people outside the westernmost parts of the Indian subcontinent

Muslims dominated the Ganges for 5 centuries though

This. Even after the Islamic conquests, Zoroastrianism was still widespread based on how high the jizya tax rates were in conquered Iranian territories compared to other regions of the caliphate. Zoroastrianism didn’t become a minority until at least 200 years after the Arab conquest of Iran and during that time period, there were plenty of anti-Islam revolts led by Zoroastrians; just look up the Khurramites. Even the Ziyarid dynasty was founded by a Zoroastrian named Mardavij who was actually pretty close to expelling Islam from the country before he was assassinated by a Turkish slave.

Because Hinduism is the truth

Good morning!

There's more Muslims living in India than there is in Pakistan. The green part of the Indian flag represents Islam. In a way, they partially converted India into Islam.
>>
>>18510684
Truly shit, that is.
Even for being a disgusting satanic subhuman cult, even Zuttslam is better than whatever the fuck the jeets are doing.

>>18510704
Hinduism is a White religion

Indians are not compatible with Islam because Islam requires you to wash yourself lol.

Not a single Pisslamic nation made it to the top 11. Projection much?

The "Indians stink" meme comes from their diet desu
You notice this with other nationalities on this list too, even the ones who bathe a lot, that they still stink of what they eat
Like Mexicans smell of corn, Indians smell of curry, Japanese smell of fish, Brazilians smell of monkeys
>>
>>18510731
Brazilians actually smell much worse than monkeys based on what they eat, since the most popular foods are eggs and beans, and those make your farts smell like biochemical weapons. I know this because I am Brazilian.
>>
>>18510702
Yeah but the country is still majority Hindu. Why did Muslims not fully eradicate Hinduism?
>>
>>18510889
Maybe Hindus actually like their religion

>>18510909
>implying that nobody else was sincere.
>>
>>18511027
If they were sincere they wouldn't have converted

>>18510567
First off, it's
>Why did Muslims fail to convert *all of India to Islam?
The combined Muslim population on the subcontinent numbers half a billion, whereas Hindus number 1.2 billion.
Second: I can't comment on the Delhi Sultanate, but the Mughals mostly tolerated religious minorities to the degree that jizya wasn't even a thing for over a century, as Akbar abolished it during his reign. Aurangzeb later reinstated it, though it clearly wasn't enough to make up for the wasted fortune spent on wars in the Deccan.

>The green part of the Indian flag represents Islam.
Incorrect, it symbolises life and fertility. India was founded as a Hindu federation so there was no sense in incorporating muslim inagery of any kind.
