Ibn Battuta enters India:
Ibn Battuta entered India through the mountains of Afghanistan, following the footsteps of Turkish warriors. These Turkish rulers from central Asia replaced the local Hindu leaders with Turks from Afghanistan and conquered and united a large area almost to the tip of the subcontinent. But these Muslim sultans in Delhi were not Safe, They faced continued opposition from the Hindu majority in India. But the armies of the Sultan Muhammad Tughluq in Delhi had defeated them again and again and threw them back into the river.
Slowly India was becoming more firmly controlled by the Muslim leaders. Hindus were even converting to Islam though very few did this in the beginning but it happened eventually and finding jobs in the new government. They recognized the advantages of becoming Muslims as they did not had to pay the taxes imposed on the Hindus by the Muslim government. Also in this way they could find much better jobs in the state machinery.
