The very fact that most Hindus preferred paying Jaziya rather than converting shows what lower castes feel about Islam.
Was Jaziya (tax) only stipulated by the Muslim Sultans?
Open your eyes, every Hindu Raja also taxed the defeated enemy kingdom (even if the defeated kingdom was also a Hindu one). There was absolutely no difference in it.
Secondly, Muslims also didn't convert to Hinduism of upper caste, even if they were living in the government of Hindu Rajas. Even today, when Hindus are in power in India, the conversion towards Hinduism is minimum. Reason is this that caste system, which was introduced by upper caste Hindus, was one of the cruellest system, and it exists even today.
Thirdly, you still didn't come out of the past.
BTW those lower castes can reconvert to Hinduism if they want reservations
Now upper caste Hindus are using this Quota system as a tool for reconversion. For sure their rejection of Quota system for the backward Muslims today is not based upon the Justice of today's situation, but they want to "enforce" the reconversion by blackmailing the Muslim Dalits.
It is a not only a shameful act, but also against the Indian law which today prohibits Jizya and also prohibits the usage of any tool for any conversion/reconversion.
Simple fact is this that Muslim Dalits have the full right to the Quota system as the Hindu Dalits. For sure the upper caste Hindus denial of their right to Quota is an abuse to the Humanity.
We cannot facilitate conversion by giving reservation to Muslims
Muslims are already Muslims.
If backward Muslims are going to get the Quota, then these already Muslims cannot convert any more to Islam.
With this attitude, you are only showing this that your are living in the past, and want to do today the same thing with present generation of Muslims, which the Muslim rulers did in the past to the Hindus.
It will be utter shameful if the believers of Hinduism today show this behaviour.
