Muslim India for Kids - Islamic rule in India

Muslim India

Around 1000 AD, the Arabs who had already conquered Persia (modern Iran) came to conquer India as well. Arab troops were able to beat the Indians and take over northern India (and modern Pakistan). Little by little, many Hindus and Buddhists in northern India decided to convert to Islam.


The Arabs set up a very successful government in northern India.

In the 1200's, this arrangement was threatened by the invasion of the Mongols under Ghengis Khan. But the Islamic rulers managed to get their power back again.

Southern India, on the other hand, never came under Islamic control, and remained Hindu.
