Before venturing into the historical analysis of multi-religious collaboration and civilization building in India under the Muslims, it is important to understand the vision of “Islam” itself, which pertains to the eponymous notion of peaceful submission, and this was always a social as well as personal ideal, which Islamic conquests ultimately brought to large swaths of the Mediterranean world and Asia. Early Muslim expeditions reached Sindh c. 636, but it was not a substantive frontier with India until the time of Muawiyah (r. 661-680). Sindh’s organized occupation arrived in 712 under the Umayyad caliph Walid b. ʿAbd al-Malik (r.705-715). Al-Hajjaj b. Yusuf al-Thaqafi (d.714), the Umayyad viceroy, endorsed the authority of the army in Sindh to Muhammad b. Qasim al-Thaqafi, who subjugated the region by the end of 712, whereupon Sindh became an Umayyad province.
