Muslims in South Asia today are getting close to the number of Hindus in the region. Hinduism as a way of life failed its people by locking them into a perpetual state of permanent caste slavery, myths and inequality. All you have to do is to look at the Indian Hindu population to see the non social mobility still in action. Islam replaced Hinduism and Budhism because it distributed equality, eradicated the caste system and provided a balanced socioeconomic model where people stopped looking at each other from a racial point of view.
The notion of 'under sword' conversion is very popular among the Hindutva brand of today. They can't be blamed because this nonesense narrative which is refuted by all historians is the only way the Hindutvadasis can not only simplify the answer to this question but also provide a self serving myth to heal their historic insecurities, hide Hinduism's failure as a system and consolidate whatever is left of it. Anyone in their position would've done the same through an 'easy' approach.
Contarary to their belief, Islam took a good 500 years to consolidate in South Asia and if we really practiced 'convert or die' strategy as today's Hindutvadasis propogate, there wouldn't have been any Hindus left today. Muslims had a 1000 years to eradicate them like the Brits eradicated Ameroindians and Australian Aboriginals. The very fact that Hindus still are a demographic majority (though not for long) negates their bogus narrative.
So true. Just look at the equal distribution of wealth in Pakistan and Bangladesh as compared to India. The balanced socio-economic models of Pakistan and Bangladesh as compared to India makes life a living hell in India and a paradise in the other two mentioned Muslim nations
