KA$HMIR, I find it hard to understand what this page is about. There is already an Islam in India page. This page is duplicating a lot of that subject, if not the content.
Secondly, the majority of this page is taken up by political history and the content on Islam proper is very little. On the whole, I don't find this a satisfactory situation. -- Kautilya3 ( talk) 06:11, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

It's another silly content fork. 42.108.234.185 ( talk) 04:35, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
There is a grammar issue in the title. It should be "Islam in South Asia" not "Islam In South Asia" -- "In" does not need capitalization. ( Highpeaks35 ( talk) 04:02, 4 January 2019 (UTC))
@ Darren-M and KA$HMIR: Caste section should be deleted as Islam does not recognize any castes because this article is about Islam in South Asia so I think we should remove caste section as it doesn't follow WP:OFFTOPIC and WP:NEUTRAL policies of Wikipedia. This is what See also section is designed for so we can just add a link to Caste system among South Asian Muslims there? Do you agree? Thank you 2607:9880:4030:18:7185:7E78:A744:3515 ( talk) 22:39, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
The languages field in the infobox is getting quite out of hand. Frankly speaking, there is no need for such field at all, because Muslim is a religious category, not an ethnic group. Uanfala, what do you think? -- Kautilya3 ( talk) 13:16, 3 January 2020 (UTC) missing phrase added. -- Kautilya3 ( talk) 16:29, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
The current version of the article [1] gives in the infobox a total population of 622.3 million. This has five sources: of these, #1 has the figure of 507 million (estimate for 2010); #2 #3 are an opinion piece and a blog post respectively and neither seems on first glance to have any relevant information; #4 says that Muslims represent 29% of the region's population (which is separately given as 1.29 billion), so that works out at 374 million (clearly by now an outdated figure); #5 is a book where the page cited gives no figures at all (apart from the observation that South Asian Muslims are one third of all the Muslims in the world). So, in sum: yet another confirmation of the Ninth Law of Wikipedia: the more refs there are after a statement, the higher the likelihood that this statement would be complete bollocks. Uanfala ( talk) 22:47, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
I added the political history section but please keep it brief as last time the history section got really big because of political details which is not really needed on article about religion. 2607:9880:4030:12:55F8:6756:71C1:8E7A ( talk) 22:14, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
