History of islamic empire in south asia part 1

SERIES ONE (POST 1)

In my previous post, I discussed about the differences in Hindu and Turkic Historiography. I consider Hindu Historiography (Be it Communal or Liberal Hindu) manipulative and Anti-Muslims. 

I express sincere gratitude to the "Muslim Intellectual Forum" for having provided me a platform to write short notes on history of Muslim India from Turkic perspective. Looking at the historical facts from Turkic historiography will solve many of the questions we face everyday. 

How did Caste System emerge among Indian Muslims? Where we came from? Did Muslims convert from Hindus? If Conversion was common, what was the pattern of Conversion? How did we adjust with two communities, of contrasting nature to live together for 1000 years? What was the role of Sufis in making of India? How did Anti-Islamic Dowry, Caste, Racism and Gender Biasness became a norm among Indian Muslims? Are we Mool Nivasi of India? Where we came from? Where did our forefathers live? What compelled our forefathers to migrate in India? Why my forefathers came as Horse Archers to invade on "Peace Loving" Hindus? Are our forefathers "Invaders" or "Liberators"? 

There are thousand questions in your mind. We will discuss these questions now step by step and one by one. But to answer your questions, we have to visit the past, to see what happened with our forefathers, their aims and objectives. 

This is the beginning of a Mega Series. We will start from Ghazni, the foundation of Muslim India, which will expand into a Giant Empire and will shelter almost all Non-Arab Muslim World at a time when Muslims were fighting for Arab-Ajam and Shia-Sunni.  

Story is long, therefore, I have decided to divide the story into parts. Below is the picture of Mahmood, a custodian and heir of the city called Ghazna, who will lay foundation of "Ghaznavids". These Gahznavids will change the course of Muslim History. 

In next post, we will discuss the Background of the Ghaznavids.
