The open,
tolerant, and
|
|
|
inclusive
Hindu religion, based
|
|
|
in a social
system dominated by
|
|
|
castes, Islam
was doctrinaire,
|
|
|
monotheistic,
evangelical, and
|
|
|
egalitarian.

In the
earlier period of contact,
|
|
|
conflict
predominated, but as
|
|
|
time passed,
although tensions
|
|
|
persisted,
peaceful commercial
|
|
|
and religious
exchange occurred
|
|
|
in a society
where Muslim rulers
|
|
governed Hindu
subjects.
