It is highly offensive and insensitive of the muslims in India to highjack the #BlackLivesMatter movement to trend #muslimlivesmatter. Muslims enjoy rights above and beyond the majority in India, as evidenced by multiple legislations and a huge minority welfare budget. @ashoswai

Drawing parallels to the Indian majority-minority situation is also wrong, because the history of US and India are entirely different. The US, formed by British/European settlers, brought Africans to their country as slaves via the transatlantic slave trade, and

continued to oppress, kill and deny basic human rights, until even as late as the sixties. Whereas in India, Muslims played the invader-colonizer role, and enslaved not only Africans but a large number of Hindus throughout the islamic world - sold, traded, and carted all over.

If any parallels are drawn, it is the Hindus that have been victims for centuries, and continue to be today, under the guise of the government’s “secular” policies which simply mean suppression and trampling of majority rights in the name of minority appeasement.

Whether Islam or Christianity, slavery ideals were shared. It was ordained that the God of both religions had bestowed the earth and all its wealth and resources upon believers, the infidels have no natural or human rights, and that the believers could do to the infidels whatever

they wished —kill, plunder, rape their women, reduce them to the status of slaves or non-citizens (in Christianity, it is termed the “Doctrine of Discovery”) . In short, slavery became a divinely ordained institution throughout the medieval world.

During the Arab conquest of Sindh, 20,000 Hindus were enslaved after the capture of Brahmanabad – a fifth of them were retained for the state and the remainder were distributed among troops. Similarly, Mahmud of Ghazni’s raid saw Indian slaves being seized and carried to Ghazni,

and slaves formed a considerable portion of the booty captured from India on multiple occasions. During the Mongol invasions in the 13th to 14th centuries, enslavement of Indians in Central Asia is documented in Timur’s invasion of India when 100,000 Hindu slaves were seized.

Timur ordered the slaughter of the slaves fearing rebellion.Following the invasion of Delhi, he carried out large scale enslavement of “several thousand artisans and professionals” incl. stonecutters, who he later employed in the construction of his "great" mosque at Samarkand.

The collection of Indian artisans as slaves was an important object of Muslim invasions. The subsequent establishment of the Delhi and Deccan sultanates formed the basis of slave trade as a domestic economy across the country, and slave markets propped up across the country.

Amir Khusrau wrote that “the turks whenever they please, can seize, buy or sell any Hindu”. During Tuglaq’s reign, it was noted that an “excessive supply” of slaves was found in the Delhi slave-markets, making them very cheap.

During Shahjahan and Auragzeb’s reign, destitute peasants and their women and children were carried away by tax collectors for selling them to exact revenue.

Slave trade in India had become such so popular that some rulers even fixed prices to regulate the slave-markets. Sultan Alaudin Khilji fixed the price for a beautiful girl suitable for concubinage to 20-40 tankhas (10 tankhas=1 gold coin), a male slave at 100-200 tankhas.

Handsome boys sold at 20-40 tankhas and others less fit for labour at 7-8 tankhas.
Shri K.S. Lal, in his book, Muslim Slave System in Medieval India, has summarized the prices fetched by Hindu slaves at various times in history.

53,000 Hindu captives brought by Sultan and Mahmud in 1019 were sold at 2-10 dirhams apiece; Ghori and Qutbuddin Aibak’s assault on the Salt Range of Punjab yielded so many Hindu captives that they were sold at 5 Hindu captives for a single dinar (Persian historian Hazan Nizami).
