To what extent were Muslims successful in converting Indians to Islam?

Answer 1Muslims never forcibly converted anyone to Islam. They just introduced them to Islam and left it for them to convert to Islam according to their own will, should they desire conversion. It is a basic principle in Islam that there is no compulsion in religion. People may convert to Islam per its authenticity, Qur'an truthfulness and divinity, Islam's good morals, and Prophet Muhammad's characteristics of honesty and trustfulness. Refer to questions below.Answer 2Depending on the Muslim ruler of India, there were events of forcible conversion. King Aurangzeb is well-known in India for this act as well as destroying major Hindu Temples such as the Kashi Vishwanath temple, Kesava Deo temple and Somnath temple. His grandfather, Akbar the Great was known for permitting the free and equal practice of religion.However, the majority of Islamic converts in India came from the Untouchable and Sudra Hindu Castes who never would have had a chance to be well-treated in Hindu society. However, in Islam all men were equal before God, making conversion an escape from this social suppression. This was welcomed by the lower classes.However, unlike other areas that came under Muslim domination, Islam did not penetrate India nearly as well as it did in North Africa or the Middle East. Similar to the situation in Southeastern Europe, the indigenous faith (Christianity in Europe and Hinduism in India) was deeply entrenched, many places were remote and difficult to access, and Islamic rule did not come until at least the mid-1500s. This led to lower conversion rates and of Islam only becoming dominant in relatively small pockets and is the reason why today, the ratio of Muslims to Hindus on the Indian Subcontinent is still 1:2.

When did the US Congress authorize the use of the Metric System?

In 1866 the use of the metric system was first authorized. In 1968 the US Congress authorized a 3 year study into the adaptation of the newer metric system, the result of which did recommend switching one of the more important reasons being international trade. In 1975 the Metrics Conversion Act was pased by Congress and the US Metric Board was established. However, there was no timetable agreed upon in the Metrics Conversion Act for the adaptation of the new system which in practice meant it was done on a voluntary basis. A general lack of interest among the public, despite campaigns, eventually resulted in a failure. In 1988 US Congress tried it again with the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act which stated that the Federal Government had the responsibility to assist small businesses in the, again, voluntary conversion. Even though a implementation date was set (1992), adaptation of the metric system again failed, this time very likely because the private sector was not mandated to use it.
