Excellent analysis, I'm learning a lot, this forum is a information goldmine.
btw ramana How legitimate is the part of expert of History produced in the indian-muslims.info website, When it is based on Bin Qasims invasion from that article,
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Their entry in India was prompted by an attempt to free the civilian Muslim hostages whose ship was taken by sea pirates in the territory of Raja Dahir, King of Sind. After diplomatic attempts failed, Hajjaj bin Yusuf, the Umayyad governor in Baghdad, dispatched a 17-year-old commander by the name Muhammad bin Qasim with a small army. Muhammad bin Qasim defeated Raja Dahir at what is now Hyderabad in Pakistan.

Muhammad bin QasimÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s treatment of the Indian population was so just that when he was called back to Baghdad the civilians were greatly disheartened and gave him farewell in tears. There was a Muslim community in Malabar, southwest India as early as 618 C.E. as a result of King Chakrawati Farmas accepting Islam at the hands of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

How legitimate is the part of pirates and that with invasion? This gives an impression to the readers there of non-expansionist nature of Bin Qasims invasion doesnt it? and My question is exactly based on what was the pirates the sole issue for the invasion of Sind by Bin Qasim? How true is the 'so just' treatment, and the PBUH angle?
