One cannot be certain about anything which he or she has not personally witnessed .But I have one question , Has not the role of Sufism and Muslim saints not been overplayed in the story of spread of Islam in subcontinent. Why is this that Islam spread less in Sourthern India , was it not that Muslim Rule did not last long in that part. Are there well documented neutral history books to document rate and reason of conversion to Islam in India .Offcouse we canno rely entirely on book influenced by followers of Sufis themselves .
We do know that Indians had always a liking for so called holy men or those looking holy .
This is an important question because governmetal .political and western circles want us to believe in Idea that Islam is just another spiritualism like other reliigions and no more ,they want us to ignore the ferocity .bravery and sacrifice which the mothers of Muslim youth suffered while establishing rule underwhich Islam could be preached or even practised in the first place . Prophet of islam afterall did try in Meccan life to spread islam by word of mouth but he was not allowed .
Spiritualism alone is not Islam , yogis and high priests existed before Islam mostly relying on mantars ,magic and psychological tactics .
My view is that Sufism and saints went side by side from early on in spread of faith but the real heroes were Muslim Youth who sacrificed for glory of Muslims on battlefield under good generals who later established states where all could fearlessly spread Islam .
