Answer 2

The correct answers are:

- because of trade;

- through invasion;

Islam in India spread at first along the coastal cities in the western part of the country, where Arab merchants were regularly coming to trade. Some of them started to settle down in India as well, and started to form Muslim quarters, and the first mosques were opened as well.

The Mughal Empire in the 12th century invaded the northern and northwestern part of India, and through their invasion, these Central Asian Muslims managed to persuade, but also force some of the people in India to accept the Islam as their religion, so the Islam saw a further expansion in India.
