You know well that Indians hate Arabs because they attribute their subjugation to you guys despite the fact that most Muslim empires in India were Turkic, you should have replied to the Indian in the similar manner instead of bashing our Turkic friends because that is quite frankly what the Indian wanted you to do by making such a statement.
The problem with them is that they don't understand the close trading and somewhat cultural relations between South Asia (India included) and the Arabian Peninsula and remaining Arab world. Those relations date back 5000 years.
Trade and cultural links between ancient Arabia and ancient India date back to third millennium BC.[1]

It's actually the Indians here that keep calling Islam and Arab religion and keep hating on Arabs because (some do) of Islam. I had countless of discussions with such trolls and even Indian users took my side.
They probably think that all the Muslims in South Asia were Arabs while this is not the case as our sphere of influence was the Middle East, Caucasus, all of Northern Africa, Horn of Africa and Southern Europe. All nearby regions. Later Southeast Asia due to trade. If we exclude parts of Central Asia, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Well or Mongol such as the Mughals. Of course you still have kingdoms/ruling families in the Subcontinent that claimed Arab ancestry such as the Nizams of Hyderabad that claimed to be Siddiqui's. In general it is difficult to prove foreign ancestry for certain without a DNA test or something along those lines and bastard children (LOL) were common as well. So God only knows where they came from.
I did not bash anyone. He implied that Arabs were slaves (we never were under any people) while the opposite was the case. I just showed him links to that being the case. He also claimed that the ME was peaceful and perfect while it was in the worst state since a very, very, very long time. The lack of an industrial revolution as seen in the West 500-300 years ago is why the region is (Muslim world overall and non-West) how it is. Actually for the past 500 years the world have looked towards the West while that only happened two times earlier. During the Greeks (partially) and most importantly the Romans. Otherwise the world looked towards the ME and immediate region, China etc.
In any case we are off-topic as usual on PDF.
