TechLahore said:^^ Yes, and seeing the entry of Islam into India merely in a military or imperial context is also unnecessary. Islam came to India and brought with it refinements and innovations in language, arts, architecture, poetry, music, spiritualism and so much more.
You're talking about Persian influence. Islam is a religion not a culture
TechLahore said:So, Islam cannot be thought of as the "other" in this context, Islam and muslims made India their own. They didn't treat it like the British East India Company.
You got me confused here Are you talking about the converts (who were already Indian, why would they treat it like any other duh?) or the Invaders (who were Turkic/Uzbek etc)?

Of course it's the locals fault, case in point the British
