Growth of Muslim Population in Medieval India, A.D. 1000–1800 c2.3

c2.3

These ideas led me to the conclusion that in any study of medieval history and society our one task should be to try to estimate how many Muslims and non-Muslims there were and to determine the proportion of Muslims in the overall population of India. Then the picture of Muslims living and working with the majority of non-Muslims would become still more clear. For, "one fact is patently clear. The vast majority of Muslims in India (and Pakistan) are converts from indigenous elements, and the 'two nation theory' has no historical basis."
