The primary event that spread Islam to India was the conquest by Turkic forces. Starting in the 11th century, various Turkic invasions, including that of Mahmud of Ghazni and later the establishment of the Delhi Sultanate, played a significant role in introducing and spreading Islam in the Indian subcontinent. While the Mughal Empire and figures like Akbar also contributed to the spread of Islam, the initial and more extensive spread occurred during the Turkic conquests. The fall of the Gupta Empire did not directly lead to the spread of Islam.
