Putting the Fallouts of the Islamic Invasion and British Occupation in Perspective
Alamgir Hussain
A major part of the history
of India
is characterized by two major foreign rules: the Islamic invasion and the
British occupation. The Islamic invasion started with the assault of Muhammad
bin Qassim in 712 on the order of Hajjaj, the governor of what is now Iraq , and it took until 1690 for the Muslim
rulers to conquer India
completely. The fall of Islamic rule started with the British East India
Company's capture of Bengal in 1757, during the days of Industrial Revolution
in Europe . The British rulers took almost 150
years to capture the entire sub-continent from the hands of its Muslim rulers.
