Islamic invasion of India, The Biggest Holocaust in History.
Thread 🧵
1. Islam first arrived in India when the Umayyad Arab general Muhammad ibn Qasim conquered Sindh, the Umayyads of Damascus were notorious Arab supremacists and even Sindhis who adopted Islam were required to pay jizya because they were not Arabs.
2. In Sindh, both Sindhi Hindus and Sindhi Muslims (because they were non Arab Muslims) were required to pay jizya , but Hindus were more oppressed than Sindhi Muslims, who converted to lessen the extreme oppression Sindhi Hindus faced.
3. Under Umayyad rule Sindhi Hindus were not allowed to build temples, and had to wear clothes that was distinguishing them from Sindhi Muslims.
4. Umayyads were Arab supremacists so they made non Arab Muslims pay Jizya , but in Islamic law only non Muslims are required to pay Jizya so after the Umayyads fell Sindhi Muslims did not pay Jizya anymore. Today, 80% of Sindhis are descendants of Hindus that converted to Islam.
