The people of the area were invaded by the muslims and before them non muslims. People who converted mostly were due to the sufis and not through sword thats the reason why hindus were in majority even during their rule.

Sufis played a part mostly in parts of Sindh, Kashmir and present day Bangladesh which turned majority muslim before partition. In the south especially Kerala , it was trade . The rest of the region, it was sword against sword in a fight for ideological superiority. People say that if muslim rulers had forced, then the entire area would have been converted. That is not a likely scenario because of Rajputs, Marathas and others who fought back. Even Harihara and Bukka who were forcefully converted came down south, reconverted and established one of the strongest hindu empires of medieval India.
