The Vijayanagar brothers convert back to Hinduism from Islam after moving back to southern India as they converted to Islam for upward mobility under the Delhi sultanate.
The Hindu Vijayanagar empire was founded in 1336 during the time of rebellion against the Tughlaq rule in Deccan. The kingdom was established by two brothers Harihara and Bukka who initially served in the administrations of both Kakatiya and Kampili prior to conquest of those kingdoms by the armies of the Delhi sultanate. When Kampili was conquered, the two brothers were captured and taken to Delhi. They were born as Hindus but converted to Islam after the capture for upward mobility in the Muslim rule. They were sent to Deccan as governors of Kampili to tackle the local revolts and invasions by neighboring Hindu kings. As they exited the region controlled by the Delhi, they embraced the religion of their birth and established a Hindu kingdom.
