Every info u told was accurate expect caste system in india. There is no such thing as ashrafs,ajlafs and arzals in quran or in islam These are man made. I challenge u to show me caste system in quran or hadith U can see that caste system in hindu scriptures,in hindus holy book. In quran,there are only 3 types: Believers,non believers and people of book(jews,christians) Pls stop misguiding people that there is caste system in india.

There is certainly no presence of casteism in the Sunnah. But undoubtedly, as happens in any religion that extends over large geographical and temporal spaces, it undergoes the influences and modifications dictated by the territorial and cultural peculiarities of the territories in which it penetrates. Of course, defining ashrafs, ajlafs and arzals as caste (in the Hindu sense of the word) might seem like an extreme - and indeed it is. But at the same time they are proof of the syncretic dynamics from the socio-cultural point of view that have allowed Islam such a huge success in history. India is not an exception in this sense, in fact in the Subcontinent Islam became "Indianized". This was the basis of his success and great contributions to Indian civilization and history, although a modern political reinterpretation would make it seem otherwise. However, the seeds of casteism and racial or people superiority are also present in classical Islamic thought. For example, let's analyze the thinking of Ibn Khaldun.

Brother this entire video itself is wrong this video should be named when did Mughals came to India. Islam came to India way long before Mughals. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)'s companions Malik bin Deenar came to India's south western coast in 7th century and a mosque was built there in 629 EC which still exists. Islam was in existence way long before Mughal invasion that is the reason you can see peaceful coexistence of Islam and Hinduism in south India. When vas co da gama came here he saw the mosque in kerala which is called Cheraman Juma Masjid mosque. Now I hope you understand the real history. Check facts then make video brother.

Dear friend. Thank you for your comment, but I believe you did not watch the video at all. I did not state in any part of it that Islam reached India with Mughals, on the contrary I mentioned the historical sources of Muhammad Ibn Qasim's conquest of Sindh in 710. Moreover, I talked about some of the oldest mosques in the Subcontinent, including the Cheraman Juma Masjid in Kerala and the Palaiya Jumma Palli in Tamil Nadu starting from minute 06:00. I am open to any kind of constructive feedback in the view of a constant increase of knowledge. Just before judging my work, please at least watch it fully. Thank you and regards 😊🙏

your research needs updated knowledge. u r good but need a bit more deeper insights

[@TheGeekySimo]

Dear Arun, thanks for your feedback. I am fully aware and I agree with what you are stating. However, offering a deeper analysis on a broad topic such as the arrival of Islam in the Subcontinent and/or the historical implications it had on more than eleven centuries is not an easy task to achieve in a short video. Otherwise, it would take many hours to fully discuss and cover this topic. Thank you for your interest and the time you spent on watching and commenting :)

[@muktharubarify1]

@@TheGeekySimo there is no concept of Ashraf,Ajlaf or Azlaf all over India .. only in some pockets.... It is not pan India and you are painting wrong picture of Indian Muslims

Very informative video. Just like to comment that you speak too fast.

[@TheGeekySimo]

Thank you! Yes, I realized that I am very enthusiastic and I have many things to say, however it is impossible to keep the duration of a video, especially on such a broad topic, on a reasonable length. For the next videos I might consider to split them in parts. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it :)
