The idea emnated from a blog reply by Brother Muqawwee. @muqawwee123
What would have happened had it lasted more?What are the reasons for it’s coming in to cease?Are the British only to be blamed for it’s cease as a rule? Was there unity among Muslims themselves?

Who were the great Muslim rulers who really helped spread Islam in the subcontinent?

It was just a dialogue from ‘Khuda ke Liye’.
As far as your questions are concerned, Muslims didn’t rule India or Spain. It was Muslim dynasties (kings and families with Muslim names) who ruled the world and their objective never remained to spread Islam.
re: Muslims ruled India for 8 centuries…
It is one of the biggest lies ever told and I don’t know why Hindus and Muslims actually get too much worked up on this. It was joint venture of Muslim-Hindu families, this can be gauged with very ordinary living conditions of Hindu and Muslims alike.
So Suri rule was just Suri rule, ordinary pathan didn’t gain anything out of it 
re: Muslims ruled India for 8 centuries…
Can we say same for Ranjit Singh and Sikhs? Some people believe that he did a lot for Sikhism. I think he was as useless as Mughals were for Muslim masses
re: Muslims ruled India for 8 centuries…
Of course it was same, for my own ancestors in Lyallpur it hardly would have made any difference ever, all I know about their history up-till battle of Saragarhi is that they were farmers and since then soldiers of British Indian Army
Yaar Imagine when now we are being be-fooled in the name of religion today,what our ancestors would have been 4-5 centuries before?
