If Hindus where forcefully converted then you would be a muslim now
That was wishful thinking of the invaders, and thats what Islamic history in certain countries teaches your kind, but read on :
Hindus were strong. Not just in terms of military power but also in their social structure. Jsut like
Why is that Islam wiped out Buddhism from India but not Hinduism ?
That was because Buddhism lived through it's monks who lived in Vihars. Once all of them were killed the ordinary Buddhist society lost it's religious identity and hence the religion got extinct from India.
In case of Hinduism. There were attempts to destroy important Hindu temples. But then there were numerous small temples which served the same purpose to ordinary hindus.
The leaders of religions were mostly brahmins and saints. Brahmins were innumerable in number and it was impossible to get all of them killed as they remained withing the society, commanded respect from the whole society. The saints and sadhus roamed around the region without any obligation to anyone which also made it difficult to kill them all.
Islamic military power was superior to those of Hindu kings. But they did face a very strong resistances. It took them 400 years to capture Sindh (so your forfathers who were Hindus fought them off for 400 years , and even after that . A fact you should be proud of , NO?). From 1200 to 1600 Muslims rulers managed to establish their rule across the vast parts of India and probably reached their zenith during Aurangzeb's rule. This was probably the first time Islam was in good shape to destroy Hinduism.
But then people like Shivaji arose from nowhere. Soon he established an empire based on new warfare techniques that relied on guerrilla techniques. Later maratha rulers like Sambhaji and Rajaram mastered the art to ensure the fall of Mughal empire and exceptional strategist and warriors like Bajirav established Maratha superiority in Indian subcontinent.
