Many Indians,
treated as "people
|
|
|
of the
book," welcomed the new
|
|
|
rulers because
they offered
|
|
|
religious
tolerance and lighter
|
|
|
taxes.
|
|
|
• |
Most
indigenous officials retained
|
|
their
positions, while brahmin
|
|
|
castes were
respected.

Few Arabs
resided in cities or
|
|
|
garrison
towns, and minimal
|
|
|
conversion
efforts did not change
|
|
existing
religious beliefs.
