Religion 3

Islam
"Arab traders brought Islam to South India in the seventh century. After them came the Afghans and the Mughuls, of whom the most enlightened was the Emperor Akbar. Akbar almost succeeded in founding a new religion Din-e-Elahi, based on both Hinduism and Islam, but it found few adherents.Islam has flourished in India through the centuries. Muslim citizens have occupied some of the highest positions in the country since independence in 1947."
