How would you characterize religious developments in India after the fall of the gupta empire? What explains the renewed popularity of Hinduism, and the new appeal of Islam in parts of India? What were the major differences between these religions in Indian society, and how did these religions influence each other?

Explanation:

India had given refuge to persecuted religions across the eras. In the post-classical period sanctuary was granted to Hebrew Jews who fled captivity in Babylonia, Aramaic Christians who fled Islamic onslaught in Syria in 7th century, and Persian Zoroastrians who fled Islamic onslaught in Iran in 9th century. In the 20th-21st centuries sanctuary was granted to Persian Baha'is who fled Islamic onslaught in Iran, and to Jews[3], Christians, Jains, Sikhs, Hindus, and Ahmadiyyas who fled Islamic onslaught in Pakistan. As a result, India has the largest population of people adhering to Zoroastrianism (i.e., Parsis and Iranis) in the world,[4] even though this religion initially grew in the Iranian Plateau.
