The rise in Hindutva is sort of the fault of Muslims because we failed to give them Dawah towards Islam during Islamic rule and we were too busy in building magnificent buildings and living a life of luxury in India. People converted to Islam in masses due to the efforts of the Sufiya of Islam but during 800+ years there was no concerted/organized
effort of Dawah from anyone including Aurangzeb.
When you read the writings of Muslim rulers of India, they are acutely aware of Hindus (their religion, habits, customs) and granted them autonomy to conduct their affairs and Hindus occuiped positions in Governments but there is hardly any ruler of India who had any Dawah program,
in fact I don't know any!
Did you know that
not a single Muslim ruler of India EVER did Hajj or even Umrah in 800+ year rule? If someone has a reference, please post.
Until very recently there was no organised Dawah to Hindus in subcontient, now been shut down in India (due to Hindutva) which is another matter. Most Hindus have been living side by side with Muslims for centuries and know nothing about Islam except for misnomers and falsehoods. There are villages in India where Muslims and Hindus know each other for 5-6 generations!
In fact, for a few hundred years the scholars of India gave a Fatwa that obligation of Hajj has been lifted from Muslims of India (due to safety issues) and it was
Syed Ahmed Barelvi (may God be pleased with him) who revived Hajj by having an open caravan which millions joined which later turned into Jihad (against Sikhs and British) and he was joined by
Shah Ismael Shaheed (may God be pleased with him) who wrote the most important treatise against innovations in India entitled "
Taqwiyatul-Eeemaan".
