c9.s2.1

Another reason for India remaining a Hindu majority country was the resistance of the people to conversion to Islam. Before the advent of Islam India had seen the birth and growth of many religions and sects like Shaivism, Vaishnavism, Jainism, Buddhism, Shankaras neo-Hinduism, etc. People had freely converted, reconverted and at times conformed to more than one religious belief at one and the same time. For all this was a matter of conviction brought about by peaceful methods.
