You are bhaiya or dravidian, so i can understand why you do not have any idea about our region people and history. By 17-18th century only 3 comunities in punjab were not muslim majority. Jats, khatris and chuhras/dalits. Other comunities like arain, rajputs, gujjars etc were muslim majority by then.
After rise of sikhsm jats started to convert to sikhsm in mass, along side chuhras and khatris. After british came then they converted many chuhras in to christinity.
Basically most docile and oppresive people i mean chuhras in punjab were last to convert, so you fucked up theory of forced conversesions will remain a theory.
Most Punjabi Christians were originally Sikh Mazhabi so you are correct in saying most Christians were Chuhre hence why Christian is synonymous with Chura in Pakistan Punjab.
As for his theory of forced conversions leading to the majority of Muslims is a load of crock. He posts a map of the Islamic world and it is assumed because his clown *** believes it to be so that everyone was forced to convert. Anyway historians say that any town or city that did not surrender in the middle ages were subject to pillage for three days, this policy was in force in all armies that took part in any sort of conquest. This did not apply to most cities which chose to surrender although at times cities were pillaged anyway the greatest example being the end of the first crusade. The weak Indian armies never doing anything outside of Bharat would obviously not have said policy since they were do busy fighting amongst themselves and being conquered by others.
It is well known that in Syria and Egypt most cities surrendered to the Rashiduns without a fight, only cities that had a Byzantine garrison put up a resistance. This was because in the case of the Syrians they were Arabs who followed a different Church then the Greeks who persecuted them. Another reason was that Syria often changed hands between the Greek and Persian empires and so they saw it as their Arab brothers saving them from the constant warfare. In fact that was the main reason Abu Bakr RA stated for why he went to war in Syria as they were Arabs who needed to be freed from Byzantine and Persian rule. Now for Egypt the conquest was just a by product of the continued war with the Byzantines. Conversions to Islam in Syria were faster than in other places because Syria was made the center of the Ummayad empire, with increased prosperity Damascus developed and more and more Syrians began converting to Islam. Egypt was not as fast as the copts had a Pope in place which the Syrian church did not so it took Egypt well over 500+ years before it became a Muslim majority. In fact the Fatimid dynasty which came a long time later did a lot more for Islam in Egypt than most dynasties before it, mainly because Egypt was the center of their empire. Another reason why it took Egypt so long to become Muslim was because the Ummayads as a policy did not encourage conversion as they were more interested in the cash flow from the taxes so they could live lavishly. This policy was also in effect during the duration of Ummayad rule in Persia following its conquest. In the case of Persia the Persians remained Zoroastrian until the emergence of an Iranian empire known as the Samanid Dynasty.
The Samanids were named after the first emir of their dynasty Saman Khuda who was a Zoroastrian noble who converted to Islam. He did so because he was impressed by the piety of the governor of Khorasan and even named his son in his honor. It was the Samanids who became the missionaries for Islam in Persia, up until that point the Persians were still mostly non-Muslims. The Samanids not only spread Sunni Islam to the Persians but they also proselytized to the Turks who accepted Islam in huge numbers and these Turkish Muslims were the precursor to the Ghaznavid empire who would then spread Islam to the rest of their Turkish brethren before invading Bharat.
That is why Islam from Persia to east of Persia was more influenced by Persian arts, literature, and overall culture instead of Arabians because it was the Persians whose influenced spread into Central Asia, China and eventually South Asia as well. That is also why the lingua franca of all Muslim groups in those parts was Farsi and not Arabic as the Samanids made it policy to only spread literature in Farsi which included the Quran.

Anyway a good book to read is the Preaching of Islam by Sir thomas walker arnold. He does talk about forced conversions but through his research concludes that to say forced conversions led to the widespread spread of Islam is incorrect. You can find a pdf online I believe.
My signature is again on a Pakistani forum and not Indian. Do accuse me of obsession when you find me on Indian forums etc.
It is funny to see you write so many paragraphs despite you don't give a damn about us and our religion.
As for peace between the two countries,we also want that but then there are people of one country who are so obsessed with the other that it starts hindering the prospects of peace between the two. I hope the situation improves and the peace prevails.
This vinod is a hilarious pagan, he goes out of his way to get abused and then claims that Pakistanis obsess with Indians when it is clear that Hindus like him live to fight Pakistanis. You can see it everywhere and pdf is the greatest example, even non-Pakistanis on pdf have commented about Indians obsession with Pakistanis and all things Muslim.
You would think if vinod did not care about Pakistan and was not obsessed he would not keep coming back after every ban only to get banned again and again. Like I said yesterday it is most likely a mental illness on his part.
