Default Re: Hindu Names Of Cities In Pak, Bangladesh, Malaysia & Indonesia

So, here we could see that Pakistan is so Islamy from its very beginning. It distincted itself from India because of religion's matter. It is totally different with Bangladesh. The separation of East Pakistan was about ethno-nationalism. After the independence of Bangladesh, Hindu as minority and Muslim live along each other in peace. Then, there is no reason to Bangladesh to not acknowledge its relation is past with the Hinduism. Since, almost all Muslim Bangladeshi nowadays are descendant of persons who converted to Islam from their respective former religion, namely Hindu, Buddha, and Animism.

As for Malaysia and Indonesia, Islam came in a very peaceful manner. There was no war to spread Islam or to Islamized Indonesia - Malaysian Archipelago. The Islamization is done by the contact between merchants and buyers, mostly in coastal area and river banks. That is why most of inhabitants in interior (pedalaman) almost not touched by Islam. There were lots of factor, such lack of transportation to reach the interior, and interior people did not do a massive trade. In 19th CE, due to work of missionary, most of people in interior namely Dayak, Toraja, Pamona, Bataks, Minahasan, and Native Papuan were converted to the Christianity.
