- In 711 C.E., an Ummayad general named Muhammad Bin Qasim conquered a region of India named Sind, which led to him bringing Islam to India and the Indus Valley for the first time. Arabian and Persian traders who had visited Indian ports for centuries were now Muslims. Also, some people formed small Muslim communities in cities along India's west coast.
- India And The Muslim World
- When Islam entered Western India, they arrived largely with raiders and adventurers in Northern India. By the 900s C.E., groups of Turkish nomads began to overrun eastern parts of the empire. Then, after the fall of the Gupta Empire in the mid-500s C.E., not a single kingdom controlled Northern India.
- The Mughal Empire
- The Delhi Sultanate was one of the strongest kingdoms in the Islamic world. The Delhi sultans built mosques and fortresses throughout their kingdom. Many of the sultans permitted the practices of Hinduism and Buddhism, while the other people attempted to force Islam on their Indian subjects.

This Empire was a gunpowder empire, which means it was able to extend it's conquests and to have gunpowder weapons such as cannons and muskets.
