Aren't people who have last names 'sheikh' those who were once hindus? the converted ones now?
Not sure. I'm not that aware of Muslim practices in South Asia.

correct. But according to some of my ancestors we were buddhists not hindus. My grandpa and his brothers were the first ones to start the kashmiri movement. Some of his brothers and friends hijacked an indian plane to go to Pakistan. They later formed the Kashmir liberation Front. the others side were almost all doctors serving in the British Army and later Pak army.
It's possible that they were Buddhist but I'm positive most Kashmiri Muslims descend from Kashmiri Pandits who are/were overwhelmingly Hindu.
