Islam in India and Pakistan: A Religious History by Dr. Y.P. Singh - Comprehensive Study of Islamic Faith & Culture in South Asia | Perfect for Scholars, Historians & Religious Studies

The history of Islam in South Asia is as diverse as the millions of individuals across India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh who consider themselves Muslim. There nonetheless are significant and controversial debates over the nature of Islam's expansion in South Asia - whether Hindu communities were forced into conversion, whether it was a peaceful process of intermarriage, whether it was the desire for freedom from the Hindu caste system, or the influence of Sufi missionaries.

This book highlights the development of Islam and poses many questions about the correct interpretation of the Islamic Religion.
