Abstract





Our choice of the topic was (the motives for deciding the battles between Muslims and Indians in the Islamic era), in which we explained the most prominent motives for the decision, whether on the social or political side. We discovered through our research that India adopted the caste system in Indian society. The Indians suffered from the caste system,  But with the arrival of Muslims, they eliminated class differences, followed religious and Islamic tolerance with Indian society, and raised their status.


 I divided the research into two requirements, the first requirement stated: the social motives of the decision, while the second requirement stated: the political motives of the decision.
