Same was the case when the Muslims came invading India, they gave two options: to convert or die! Later on the Muslims diluted their “killing" options to “extra tax" or “protection money". The long Muslim rule over a large part of India with such inhuman rules have caused deep resentment among the Hindus who survive today.
