Muslim population in India grew with the establishment and expansion of Turkish rule in Hindustan. Its rise was due mainly to the immigration of Muslims from abroad and conversion of Hindus to Islam. There were Muslim losses also, in wars, famines, and through reconversions, and there was the growth of Muslim numbers through natural procreation in years and decades. A study of all these processes will help in estimating the growth of Muslim population between A.D. 1200 and 1400.
