POST OF RELIGIOUS TOPIC OF MY CHOICE-SEPT. 18TH

When having to read pages 70-96 and pages 107-108, what most interest me is all the different religions and believe that came out of and from Hinduism. My mane wonder is why the Muslims were allowed to just name all religious people who did not want to convert to Islam Hindus. I understand that they were in ruling at the time, but if this was a place in time where people took religion very serious and they didn't care about what religion other people studied, then why didn't they put people who had there own choice of religion that was not Muslim, be what they wanted to be and put them in the same category. I dont think it was fare for the Muslims to put people with other groups of people who studied similar but different types of religion in one category and with one name of religion. I had a conversation with my aunt Kemi who is Muslim and when I explained to her what I have learned in class and that the Muslims put people who were not Muslims and who didn't want to convert to Islam, they were labeled under one religion such as Hindus. It was to her surprise. She told me that maybe because the Muslims at that time were the dominate religion. Even though the people who were called Hindus were able to practice and worship there belief of religion which had no name to other people such as the Muslims. at least they had the chance to believe in what they wanted to and got the chance to practice there own religion. I just don't think it was fare for the Muslims to restrict there name of the religion that one person believed in just because they didn't convert to Islam. Im pretty sure the Indians who didnt convert to Islam had there own name of religion were upset that they were labeled and put in a category of one religon. but that was the first word the Muslims used to describe religion. maybe the word just followed the Indians after generations. So the Indians embraced the word and still use it to this day to describe there type of religion and beliefs. This is why there is many different types of religions that came out of Hinduism.
