Bijapur Sultan Ibrahim Aldilshah's <i>Kitab-e-Nauras</i> beings with invocations to Saraswati and Ganapati. Did these mullas have the balls to take on Sultan then?
Ustad Bismilla Khan was a huge devotee of Kashi Vishwanath. Vavar Swami at Sabrimala was muslim before he turned into a Ayappa devotee and even today thousands of Hindus who visit Sabarimala pay homage to his shrine.
Bodhiji,

In another (Bollywood propoganda) thread there was news of Sanjay Dutt being blessed on reading Hanuman Chalisia and released next day.
In these matters, Swami Vivekananada's words on welcoming back with open arms those who have converted in past (or those whose ancestors might have converted under duress or trickery) comes to mind.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->and kind of live like a Hindu (eg no Roja, Namaz instead bindi, tilak and kaleva on wrist, images of Gods etc) What do members feel would this result into, unless the process is aborted my maulavees, psecs, or commies ?..

There is a huge population that has retained our Indic ethos, traditions and rituals and we don't hear much about these because the psec 'progressive' forces have hijacked the platform and all we hear is the definition of people based on clear cut black and white divide.
Is it possible to list the non-Islamic traditions/rituals that's still in use by locals? It's a pretty big list and can be used to debunk the macho-arab bloodline theories propogated by Pakis or those with Paki mindset. But we'll have to dig this from personal observations/narratives or lesser known publications since such info is usually buried by psec brigade.
