@bella88

I am no islamic history expert but from I have heard, there were incentives to convert to Islam. 1)prisoners of war were freed if they were to convert. 2)jizya tax was for nonmuslims. 3)higher ranking jobs 4) many slaves were freed if they converted(this probably made a very small portion though)
maybe i am wrong in these, if so, please correct me.

But then again the conversions took place where ever Sufis went, otherwise Muslims ruled most of Central India (where majority remained non Muslims).
