To this may be added the Muslims—converted, migrated and procreated—since the days of Mahmud of Ghazni in the Punjab, U.P., Gujarat and the South. If this number may be taken to be a hundred thousand, the total number of Muslims around A.D. 1200 was in all probability not more than three to four hundred thousand. The total population of India in that year has been estimated at 190 million. The ratio of Muslims to the total population in A.D. 1200 would have been about 1 : 415, or .21 per cent.
