Why do Hindus accept Islam currently?

It depends on what "accept" means. If the question is asking why Hindus permit Muslims to freely pray in India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal, the answer is that Hindus in those countries respect the rights and freedoms to worship any or no gods as provided in those countries' laws. If the question is asking why some Hindus convert to Islam, there are two general reasons: The first is that Hindus may find that they believe in the values, structure, or truth of Islam and the second is that Hindus from lower castes may wish to use Islam as a way to escape from the caste system. Although India has outlawed the caste system, discrimination continues in a general societal way.

This made Islam much more appealing to Sudras and Untouchables because it liberated them from being forced to the bottom of the social ladder.
