i have come across some hindustvas who declare some indian muslim tradition as arab/foreign, so do the british/western sources, but historic truths and sources provide a negation to this hindu and western propaganda that islamic culture and indian cultures were so foreign that both had no similarities.
to start with the concept of purdah did have a hindu precedence in the indian world before the islamic invasion, a concept of gender segregation astonishingly finds reference in natyashastra dated to 1st cetury BC, the married women in india did observe ghonghat and even the unmarried females wore dupatta/head covering so islam didnt introduce head covering/modesty for women. arab visitors record the indic alcohol abstinence in india even before the invasion period.
females were required to be married soon after gaining puberty, usually at 13.
i'll try to add more info later.
regards
