The first Muslims in India were Arab merchants who traveled to the Malabar Coast of India by sea. When the Muslim armies defeated the Sasanian Empire, many Zoroastrians fled to the east and settled in Gujarat.

What religions are in conflict in Palestine?

It depends what you mean by "Palestine". If you are referring exclusively to the Palestinian Territories, there are abuses by Muslim Palestinians of Christian Palestinians and the defacing of their holy sites and monuments. Additionally, there is a conflict between Jewish Israeli Settlers and Israeli Soldiers and Palestinians (both Muslim and Christian). If you are using "Palestine" as a shorthand for "Israel and Palestine", then the religions in the conflict are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. However, those religions are not at conflict. The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is a ethnic/nationalist conflict where religions are used as ethnic identifiers (similar to the 1990s in Yugoslavia). It is not a theological conflict.

Islam first arrived in India through traders and merchants along the western coastal regions during the 7th century. The peaceful interactions between Arab traders and local populations facilitated the spread of Islamic teachings. Additionally, the later invasions by Muslim rulers, such as Muhammad bin Qasim in the early 8th century, further established Islamic presence in the subcontinent. Over time, Islam integrated with local cultures, leading to a diverse religious landscape in India.
