> have hindu, buddhist blood in them

That's complete nonsense. There's no such thing as "Hindu blood", like there is no "atheist" blood.

And if you look at the history of the Mughal Empire, you will see that they had a long history of religious tolerance. They had a long tradition of adopting the culture and the religion of the people they ruled. That's how they became Muslims, after all.

Especially under Akbar's rule, the court abolished the jizya (the poll-tax on non-Muslims) and abandoned the use of the lunar Muslim calendar, in favor of a solar calendar more useful for agriculture. One of Akbar's most unusual ideas regarding religion was Din-i-Ilahi ("Faith-of-God" in English), which was an eclectic mix of Hinduism, versions of Sufi Islam, Zoroastrianism, Jainism and Christianity. It was proclaimed the state religion until his death. He also adopted Hindu and Zoroastrian festivals and practices.

The *only* exception to this tolerant and liberal religious policy was the last great Mughal, Aurangzeb Ālamgīr, who was a bit of a bigot.

And Buddhism declined and became virtually extinct in India between 400 BCE and 1000 CE, because they lost the patronage of sympathetic rulers such as the kings of Magadha, Kosala and the Kushan. That's 200 years before Islam started to spread in India! Those Buddhist converted (or were possibly forced to convert) to Hinduism!

according to the research conducted by me and my team,we were able to answer your question very accurately.
the total of Muslims living in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan with Hindu ,Buddhist blood are 54 lakhs, 83 thousands and nine hundreds and forty three. while answering this our figures might have become inaccurate because several numbers of births and a lot of death.you could have asked for the exact figures on any single date and time.
