I never said only low caste Hindus converted. I also told many converted to escape the Jizya or religious tax. Hindus of all castes were compelled to convert by levying these heavy taxes. The ***** of Kashmir and Punjab were all Brahmins once. The Rajput Muslims are also proud of their Kshatriya legacy.
Plus, face it, nobody likes to give up on their religion unless there is economics or threat to life involved!
So how come already opressed caste dalit didnt convert to islam in Punjab? They should have been first in line to convert. Gujjars, jats, etc all take pride in their history. Its only brahmin convert syeds who claim arab Ancestry. I dont deny chura comunity suffer discrimination in Pakistan punjab. They have distinctive look and are dalit which mean more darker then even average punjabi. "chura" is used as a insult in Punjab. So chura on top of being christian doesnt help. I always though chura meant sweeper, only later on i learned that its a comunity.
Im talking about punjab only btw, i dont know what and which comunity converted in India. Maybe its because in India most muslim convert are from lower caste thats why they think same is the case in Pakistan. I dont know if this is simply misunderstanding or usually hatered of pakistaní muslims.
