Why/How were Hindu's influenced by the Muslim incursions into India?

Question

to what extent were Muslims affected by Indian culture?

in the post classical era

Answer 1

This would involve an extremely complicated answer because there are many elements to consider. It seems to me that you would want to research the Mughal Empire to get a handle on it.

Probably the biggest and farthest reaching effects can be seen in art and architecture. The Muslims brought a kind of mystical geometry to the otherwise earthy and sensual art of Hinduism.

In the second link below - take a look at the Taj Mahal and Agra - examples of muslim architecture in India.

Answer 2

Very bitter, bloody civil conflict for one.
