the time that Guru Nanakdevji came to earth was very different to this day. I have been reading a lot to try and learn the circumstances in which the hukam was given that he come to mankind Its interesting to note that the real oppression and atrociites on India were committed before the Mughals even came on the scene like Mahmud Ghaznavi and Mohammed Ghori - they killed people in the tens of thousands and according to their own biogrophers tried to convert all the Hindus and Buddhist and the rest - this was the time that a large section of Punjab especially western Punjab became Muslim behind the Muslim armies came people like Baba Farid. They certainly had an agenda for conversion - Punjab was also Buddhist - look at Taxila and they were all almost killed - we had a large population of Jains who did not survive - the Hindus then began to fight back with the rise of the Rajput clans and the kingdom of Vijaynagara in the south; - according to some traditaions India was really bloodsoaked in violence in this time - the same time saw the rise of the Bhagats to try and heal the wounds of the people into this time strode Guru Nanakdevji as a vision for all mankind amongst all the violence and hatred and bickering between Hindus and Muslims

Firstly lets get this straight up - Guru Nanak was not there because of someone else whether Hindu or Muslim - he was there because of the hukam of Akaal Purakh -end of secondly - the Mughals were not in Punjab for 900 years - they only just arrived in the lifetime of Guru Nanakdevji under their king Babur. Other Muslims had been in Punjab under different Turk invaders and Afghans for the previous 400 years at least when you look at India at the time fo Guru Nanakdevji it was a collection of loads of different countries . West Punjab was mostly Muslim - the eastern side and the Punjab hills were Hindu Muslim states Delhi Sultanate under the Lodhi kings Bahmani Kingdom of the Deccan South India Bengal Gujurat and Malwa Hindu States Rajput Confedaracy under Rana Sanga Vijaynagar of South India Orrisa Assam and eastern India Gondwana it was into this endless battles between Hindus and Muslims that the first master appeared to give the message of God The Hindus had beaten the Arabs but they couldnt chuck out the later Muslims - that was left to the Tenth Master
