Umayyad invasion of Sindh and the arrival of Islam

[RazPaK]

Muhammad bin Qasim himself was put to death by the Caliph, by suffocation in oxen hides. The reason was that the Caliph wanted to be the first to rape the daughters of Raja Dahir, but bin Qasim had actually raped them before the Caliph.

Muhammad bin Qasim's successors were smashed by the Rajputs in the battle of Rajasthan. (Battle of Rajasthan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). In the words of the Arab chronicler Suleiman, “a place of refuge to which the Muslims might flee was not to be found.”

Finally, it was the invasions of the Turks from the North 300 years later, which succeeded in converting the ancestors of the Pakistanis.

Source is out of your ***.


One of the first people that voluntarily converted to Islam were the Jatts of Sindh and fought alongside the Arabs.

But the Jatts of Sindh were first conquered by Arabs right??? By Bin Qasim's army?????
He defeated Sindhis and then Sindhis joined his army right??

We have plenty of Jatts in Pakistan and 99% of them are Muslims.

So you brought caste system to us and then gave it yourself right?? Caste system then originated in your land right????

Indians all have caste system.

The culture you have in India is due to fusion that happened where Pakistan is today.

Be happy we brought you culture.

There are more Muslim Jatts than either Hindu or Sikh.

The vast majority of Pakistani Muslims regard Muhammad Bin Qasim as a hero who helped us leave paganism and embrace Islam.

Port Qasim, Pakistan's second major port is named in honor of Muhammad bin Qasim.

Bagh Ibne Qasim is the lagest park in Pakistan named in honor of Muhammad bin Qasim.

Actually my stats are wrong present day.

In the 1900's there were more Muslim Jatts than Hindu or Sikh, but that has changed now.

What if it was some buddhist invader from China converted all? Say the Ming Dynasty?

 

[Omar1984]

Reasons for success
Muhammad bin Qasim's success has been partly ascribed to Dahir being an unpopular Hindu king ruling over a Buddhist majority who saw Chach of Alor and his kin as usurpers of the Rai Dynasty.[4] This is attributed to having resulted in support being provided by Buddhists and inclusion of rebel soldiers serving as valuable infantry in his cavalry-heavy force from the Jat and Meds.[11] Brahman, Buddhist, Greek, and Arab testimony however can be found that attests towards amicable relations between the adherents of the two religions up to the 7th century.[12]
Along with this were:
Superior military equipment; such as siege engines and the Mongol bow.[4]
Troop discipline and leadership.[4]
The concept of Jihad as a morale booster.[4]
Religion; the widespread belief in the prophecy of Muslim success.[4][12]
The Samanis being persuaded to submit and not take up arms because the majority of the population was Buddhist who were dissatisfied with their rulers, who were Hindu.[12]
The laboring under disabilities of the Lohana Jats.[12]
Defections from among Dahirs chiefs and nobles.[12

not at the time of this invasion. the jats at that time were deprived of some special privileged's by raja dahir like carrying a sword and other basic things. so jats were not lured by islam rather they intended to get back to power as they were before raja dahir.

The most important thing is that our ancestors were saved from eternal hell fire in the afterlife because of Muhammad Bin Qasim. He is our hero forever.

They had hell fire in their life time instead by the massacre faced by brutal invading forces.
