When and where did Islam first come to India? Know who attacked first?

Most of the religions in the world are found in small numbers in India. Apart from Hindus, most of the people in India belong to Muslim religion.

Muslim religion is not Indian in origin. It came to India with the arrival of the invaders. Today we are going to tell you when and how Islam started in India.

Muslim power has been established in India for a long time. If we estimate the time, from the 12th century till the British rule took over India, most of the top power in India was occupied by Muslim rulers.

It is not that Islam was not there earlier. Is. Islam arrived here about 500 years before the first Muslim rule was established in the country around 1200.

The first Muslim invasion of India took place in Thane near Bombay in 636 AD, but was unsuccessful. After this, in 711 AD there was an attack under the leadership of Ubaidullah, but he also failed and was defeated. During this time he was murdered.

Then in 712 AD, Arab invader Muhammad bin Qasim launched the first successful Muslim attack on India. Although after some time their hold weakened, but after this war, for the first time Hindu and Muslim cultures came in contact and mutual exchange between the two became possible.
