Reason why Hindu Civilisation survived despite the places like Persia being islamised at so much ease?

It is because Persian Royalty accepted the Christianity of Lakhmids which was different from that Byzantine supported.

Persian King was quite happy that Lakhmids & Eastern Church had turned religious enemy of Byzantine on the matter of Jesus being seen as Human & not son of god.

Nestorians were on rise.

To supersede the Byzantines, the cross culture between Sassanids & Lakhmids led to arrival/ creation of Islam.

In no time the Persians became Muslims. All historical accounts support this.

The transition of Islam wasn’t that problematic.

Those who rebelled were very few & saw persecutions. The old RigVaidik people certainly knew their original homeland India would welcome them & it happened.

When India encountered Islam, resistant happened in tooth & nail.

It had to be because this new form of Christianity was as radical as their counterpart Byzantines. This was outright alien.

Hence Indians saw abundant merit to resist this cult.

There was no fights whatsoever of that scale among sampradayas & in fact, people often changed that too.

This was not the case with this encounter.

Later the polemics against Brahmins was created by Buddhists many centuries post Buddha.

But truth is that no one was as such fight.

It is always a matter of great discussion of nuances to bring the case that why rest of world chose to convert/ rather couldn’t or didn’t give much fight though Indians gave it & hence we are still Hindus.
