AnswerIslam was initially spread in the Indian subcontinent by Sufis and Muslim merchants, rather than organised conquest. But conquest followed, and some rulers were less than tolerant of the Hindu majority, resulting in many conversions. In other cases, Islam provided a way out of the Hindu Caste System.
