near 35% of Muslims of India are Shia Muslims (near 30,000,000 persons)
the start of Shiaism in India backs to Caliphet of Imam Ali (sa).
Imam Ali (sa) sent Harith ibn Marveh Abdi to Gheyghan (in Send). at that time some of people of Gheyghan were followers of Ali (sa) deeply loving Ali (sa) but some of them said Ali is God. so Ali sent Harith ibn Marveh Abdi to them to prevent them from such belief.
then many of India people and rulers knew about Ali and traveled to Kufa to visit Ali (sa).
there is much more about history of shia in India.
