The Indian subcontinent, with all its linguistic and cultural records of several thousand years, has had a long-standing connection with ancient Iran in many ways, and this connection has doubled with the arrival of Islam in this land in the past centuries and has reached the point where in later periods the language Farsi has become the common cultural language of Iran and India.
The relations between the Indian subcontinent and the Arabs have their roots in the Sumerian era. In ancient times, there were trade relations between Arabia, especially between the Hadramaut of Indus and the Malabar Coast. The first contact of Muslims with the Indian subcontinent began shortly after the death of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). During the time of Umar bin Khattab, a naval campaign took place to capture Surat. Four years later, the first Muslim invasion of Sind began. It is said that five of the companions of the Prophet (PBUH) entered India to propagate Islam, and they were most likely the transmitters of Prophetic hadiths. But the Islamization of India started in 711 AD, and that was the time when Muhammad bin Qasim conquered the land of Sindh up to Multan and laid the foundation of the Muslim government there, which has continued to this day.
