What would have been its impact on history?

Would that have been more beneficial in terms of prosperity and harmony of the country?

Had Muslims not invaded India, there would not have been any Hindus because there was no single religion called “Hinduism” before Muslims came. This religion was defined as the opposite of being Muslim. Thus all mythologies and beliefs were put under one category of Hinduism.

Secondly, there would not have been a single country named “India”. Because it never was one country. There was no concept in the subcontinent that somehow they all were same one nation. This is why it was easier for Muslims to claim victories. Different rajahs were not bothered by some part of subcontinent being under attack.

The presence of Muslim people DEFINED Indian nation and religion of Hinduism. Ironic. Ironic.
