Growth of Muslim Population in Medieval India, A.D. 1000–1800 c16.s5.15

c16.s5.15

So, between A.D. 1200 and 1400 and especially in the fourteenth century, Muslim population had grown at an accelerated pace. The agencies which contributed to this growth are known. Historical facts giving an idea of this rise too are on record. But the quantum or percentage of rise during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries is not possible to estimate with any amount of accuracy for want of specific data. However, a fair idea—only a fair idea—may be obtained by taking recourse to the same old but well-tried method of proceeding from the known to the unknown.
