Would love to know the sources for the numbers!
And would also love to know what “Islamic” means here? Is every act by every Muslim “Islamic” because they ostensibly believe in Islam? Does it follow that this applies to all other religions and their followers? If not then why?
Islamic conquest of India was the bloodiest episode in history. Population plummeted by 80 million. 2.5 million women were auctioned as slaves. Khalji burnt down Nalanda. And what do we do? We name the railway station near Nalanda after him:

Serving police officers are giving up their service to fight elections on a BJP ticket. Former judges are taking up seats in parliament and yet you raise questions about a retd. VP who has every right to express his worries about the republic that he represented all his career?
Should former Constitutional post holders like Hamid Ansari be appearing on platforms to criticise India without even checking the antecedents of the organizers? Choice of message matters as much as the choice of platform. This should be obvious to seasoned public figures.

In Arabic spelling is رمضان with the ض۔ which is pronounced as DH by Arabs but as Za by Persian and Urdu speakers. While learning Urdu you would have learnt of this letter as “zuaad.”
