South Asia
India had always been subject to waves of invasions Nomadic peoples Displaced peoples

South Asia
Most became assimilated Became Hindu or Buddhist Became part of the caste hierarchy Adopted the dress, food, and culture of
those already there

South Asia
As a result, the arrival of new peoples did not significantly challenge the existing order This will all change with the arrival of
Islam in the early years of the 8th century

South Asia
After the collapse of the Gupta Empire (end of the 5th century), India had collapsed again into its regional divisions This will leave the area open to
conquest by the Muslims
![Page 6: Spread of Islam into South and Southeast Asia 600-1450 CE Jay Langlois Robert E. Lee High School Baytown, TX jclanglois@gccisd.net](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032702/56649cce5503460f94999a99/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
South Asia
Beginning in the early 8th century, waves of Muslim groups begin entering India and establishing a foothold (in the area of the Sind) At first, this caused little change – the
conquerors promised lower taxes and greater religious tolerance
Hindus and Buddhists became dhimmis They also allowed local elites and rulers
to stay in power

South Asia
Exchange Indian learning was transmitted
through Muslim merchants to the west Of particular importance was Indian
advances in algebra and geometry, which rivaled those of Greece
Arabs also began using Indian numerals (which we now call Arabic numerals, but they started in India)

South Asia
In the 10th and 11th centuries, a new wave of Muslim invasions began More violent, more vicious, and much
more interested in territorial conquest This wave conquered much of northern
India, and established a capital at Delhi
![Page 9: Spread of Islam into South and Southeast Asia 600-1450 CE Jay Langlois Robert E. Lee High School Baytown, TX jclanglois@gccisd.net](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032702/56649cce5503460f94999a99/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
South Asia
Since the ruler of this new empire called himself the sultan, this period in Indian history is known as the Delhi Sultanate
![Page 10: Spread of Islam into South and Southeast Asia 600-1450 CE Jay Langlois Robert E. Lee High School Baytown, TX jclanglois@gccisd.net](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032702/56649cce5503460f94999a99/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

South Asia
However, most of this period is characterized by accommodation and peaceful exchanges – since the Muslims needed Hindu elites and rulers to help them There were many conversions to Islam,
but, again, few were forcible
![Page 12: Spread of Islam into South and Southeast Asia 600-1450 CE Jay Langlois Robert E. Lee High School Baytown, TX jclanglois@gccisd.net](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032702/56649cce5503460f94999a99/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
South Asia
In spite of the number of conquests, the Delhi Sultanate made little impression on the Hindu community as a whole They took positions as administrators
and soldiers in the empire, but stayed socially aloof from their conquerors
![Page 13: Spread of Islam into South and Southeast Asia 600-1450 CE Jay Langlois Robert E. Lee High School Baytown, TX jclanglois@gccisd.net](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032702/56649cce5503460f94999a99/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
South Asia
Hindus probably expected that the Muslim invaders would soon become assimilated into their culture and religion, as so many had before But the Muslims held to their own
beliefs and rituals – and there are probably no two more opposing religions than Hinduism and Islam
![Page 14: Spread of Islam into South and Southeast Asia 600-1450 CE Jay Langlois Robert E. Lee High School Baytown, TX jclanglois@gccisd.net](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032702/56649cce5503460f94999a99/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
South Asia
Hindus eventually realized that they were faced with an actively evangelical religion, with so many significant differences and beliefs, there was bound to be conflict between the two
![Page 15: Spread of Islam into South and Southeast Asia 600-1450 CE Jay Langlois Robert E. Lee High School Baytown, TX jclanglois@gccisd.net](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032702/56649cce5503460f94999a99/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
South Asia
Over the centuries, it became obvious that, in spite of many people’s attempts, the two religions were not compatible, and could not be fused into one belief system
![Page 16: Spread of Islam into South and Southeast Asia 600-1450 CE Jay Langlois Robert E. Lee High School Baytown, TX jclanglois@gccisd.net](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032702/56649cce5503460f94999a99/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
South Asia
The Muslim community continued to grow, and while Hinduism remained the majority religion (by far), the ruling elite was primarily Muslim Unlike other areas conquered by the
Muslims, the Hindus showed little interest in conversion
![Page 17: Spread of Islam into South and Southeast Asia 600-1450 CE Jay Langlois Robert E. Lee High School Baytown, TX jclanglois@gccisd.net](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032702/56649cce5503460f94999a99/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Southeast Asia
Always significant as a trading area, the islands of Southeast Asia are a meeting point – a place where merchants and traders from East Asia, India, Africa, and the Middle East all converge
![Page 18: Spread of Islam into South and Southeast Asia 600-1450 CE Jay Langlois Robert E. Lee High School Baytown, TX jclanglois@gccisd.net](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032702/56649cce5503460f94999a99/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Southeast Asia
By the 7th and 8th centuries, Muslim merchants were making their way from India into Southeast Asia By this point, Muslims controlled most
of the trade coming into and out of India
![Page 20: Spread of Islam into South and Southeast Asia 600-1450 CE Jay Langlois Robert E. Lee High School Baytown, TX jclanglois@gccisd.net](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032702/56649cce5503460f94999a99/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Southeast Asia
Conversion in this area was easier than in India, because, while there were many faiths there, no one religious system dominated the islands Merchants introduced locals to the
ideas and rituals of Islam and also brought Sufis to the area
![Page 21: Spread of Islam into South and Southeast Asia 600-1450 CE Jay Langlois Robert E. Lee High School Baytown, TX jclanglois@gccisd.net](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032702/56649cce5503460f94999a99/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Southeast Asia
Malacca – the most important port in Southeast Asia Once the Muslim religion had
“conquered” this city, it spread far and wide among the islands, ports, and trading villages of Southeast Asia
![Page 22: Spread of Islam into South and Southeast Asia 600-1450 CE Jay Langlois Robert E. Lee High School Baytown, TX jclanglois@gccisd.net](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032702/56649cce5503460f94999a99/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Southeast Asia
However, there were areas with strong Hindu and/or Buddhist traditions, and many of these were resistant to Muslim incursion
![Page 23: Spread of Islam into South and Southeast Asia 600-1450 CE Jay Langlois Robert E. Lee High School Baytown, TX jclanglois@gccisd.net](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032702/56649cce5503460f94999a99/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Southeast Asia
As Islam spread into this area, it underwent some significant changes, incorporating some of the local beliefs and rituals This will cause problems later, because
orthodox Muslims will not accept it as true Islam
![Page 24: Spread of Islam into South and Southeast Asia 600-1450 CE Jay Langlois Robert E. Lee High School Baytown, TX jclanglois@gccisd.net](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032702/56649cce5503460f94999a99/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Accommodation
Now is a good time to bring up the reality that this fact is true of all major religions As religions spread, they are forced to
accommodate themselves somewhat to local traditions and beliefs in order to gain converts
![Page 25: Spread of Islam into South and Southeast Asia 600-1450 CE Jay Langlois Robert E. Lee High School Baytown, TX jclanglois@gccisd.net](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032702/56649cce5503460f94999a99/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Accommodation
For example, Christianity incorporated some major Celtic traditions and beliefs into its religion to gain converts in northern and western Europe Many Christmas traditions evolved from
this exchange of ideas
