I study Islamic prophecies and I would say that we should not take the Ghazwa e Hind too seriously.
There are three Hadith about it. Only one is saheeh (deemed genuine) and it says that the army that conquers India will be blessed and the army that helps Jesus will be helped. It does not connect the two events. In this case we can reasonably say that India was conquered over 1200 years ago.
There are two Hadith that connect the conquest of India with the coming of Jesus. These suggest that the same army that conquers India will help Jesus. In this case the conquest of India hasn’t happened yet. Both these Hadith are categorized as weak.
Beyond the above, there is the issue of what exactly is Hind? Instead of India it could be Pakistan. Also, which army is it?
Then the question is: why on earth would we want to conquer India? Wasn’t ruling it for 1000 years enough? I can imagine liberating Kashmir, but why would Muslims want to conquer and rule 1 billion Hindus? Doesn’t make any sense, as long as they allow Muslims in India to live in peace.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to take weak Hadith too seriously.
