Spread of Islam in India
India was ruled by Muslim rulers for long period but it is a fact that apart from a few exception Most of the ruler didnot care about the spread of the final message of our creator to save mankind from fire of hell.
Islam reached Indian state of kerala at the time of sahabah itself and there are historical evidences that some of the sahaba reached kerakla.
In North India mainly the Aulia Allah who actually devouted for the spread of the message of peace and eternal success.
As far as its further establishment of Islam is concerned It is a proved fact that in India islam spreaded on the hand of the chain of
Aulia Allah Mosty notably
Mujaddid Alfasani,
Sheikh Moinuddin Chishti,
Sultanul Mashaekh Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia,
Hazarat Sharfuddin Yahya Maneri,
Sheikh Bakhtiyar Kaki and many others Rahmatullah Alaihi.
Maulana Abul Hasan Ali Nadvi rahimullah has writtten the biography of all of them in Urdu. Unfortunately english translation is not available.
One misconception
As India was ruled for long by Muslims so a misconception may crops in certain minds about spread of Islam under the influence of Power or to be more specific use of force.
The Truth ..................

The Truth ..................
Actually some Orientalist Historian (Mushtashriqeen) always projected Shaba as warrior. They alleged that Islam was spreaded by help of Army and sword.
More or less it has affected intellectuals and historian and general public also. And many brothers think on that line.
It is a misconception that Islam spreaded by Armies and warriors.
No compulsion in religion.
With which sword was Islam spread? Even if Muslims had it they could not use
it to spread Islam because the Qur’an says in the following verse:
“Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from error”
[Al-Qur’an 2:256]
It was Sword of the Intellect.
It is the sword of intellect. The sword that conquers the hearts and minds of
people. The Qur’an says in Surah Nahl, chapter 16 verse 125:
“Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching;
and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious.”
[Al-Qur’an 16:125]
