Question: What is the meaning of the word that is also a majority religion in the area that became India when the country that withdrew its forces was created in the Arabic dictionary?

islam (arabic: الإسلام) is the second-largest religion in india, with 14.2% of the country's population or approx. 200 million people identifying as adherents of islam (2018 estimate). it makes india the country with the largest muslim population outside muslim-majority countries. the majority of indian muslims belong to the sunni sect of islam. the religion first arrived at the western coast of india when arab traders as early as the 7th century ce came to coastal malabar and konkan-gujarat. cheraman juma mosque in kerala is thought to be the first mosque in india, built in 629 ce by malik deenar. following an expedition by the governor of bahrain to bharuch in the 7th century ce, immigrant arab and persian trading communities from south arabia and the persian gulf began settling in coastal gujarat. ismaili shia islam was introduced to gujarat in the second half of the 11th century, when fatimid imam al-mustansir billah sent missionaries to gujarat in 467 ah/1073 ce. islam arrived in north india in the 12th century via the turkic invasions and has since become a part of india's religious and cultural heritage. over the centuries, there has been significant integration of hindu and muslim cultures across india and muslims have played a notable role in economics, politics, and culture of india. <SEP> classical india refers to the period when much of the indian subcontinent was reunited under the gupta empire (c. 320–550 ce). this period has been called the golden age of india and was marked by extensive achievements in science, technology, engineering, art, dialectic, literature, logic, mathematics, astronomy, religion, and philosophy that crystallized the elements of what is generally known as hindu culture. the hindu-arabic numerals, a positional numeral system, originated in india and was later transmitted to the west through the arabs. early hindu numerals had only nine symbols, until 600 to 800 ce, when a symbol for zero was developed for the numeral system. the peace and prosperity created under leadership of guptas enabled the pursuit of scientific and artistic endeavors in india. <SEP> The Arabic equivalent Al - Hind likewise referred to the country of India. The word Hindu is derived from the Indo - Aryan and Sanskrit word Sindhu, which means ``a large body of water '', covering`` river, ocean''. It was used as the name of the Indus river and also referred to its tributaries. The actual term 'hindu' first occurs, states Gavin Flood, as ``a Persian geographical term for the people who lived beyond the river Indus (Sanskrit: Sindhu) '', more specifically in the 6th - century BCE inscription of Darius I. The Punjab region, called Sapta Sindhava in the Vedas, is called Hapta Hindu in Zend Avesta. The 6th - century BCE inscription of Darius I mentions the province of Hi (n) dush, referring to northwestern India. The people of India were referred to as Hinduvān (Hindus) and hindavī was used as the adjective for Indian in the 8th century text Chachnama. The term 'Hindu' in these ancient records is an ethno - geographical term and did not refer to a religion. <SEP> After protracted negotiations a cease-fire was agreed to by both countries, which came into effect. The terms of the cease-fire as laid out in a United Nations resolution of 13 August 1948, were adopted by the UN on 5 January 1949. On compliance of these conditions a plebiscite was to be held to determine the future of the territory. Indian losses were 1,104 killed and 3,154 wounded, whereas Pakistani losses were 6,000 killed and 14,000 wounded. This required Pakistan to withdraw its forces, both regular and irregular, while allowing India to maintain minimum strength of its forces in the state to preserve law and order. India gained control of the two-thirds Kashmir whereas, Pakistan gained roughly one-third of Kashmir. Most neutral assessments agree that India was the victor of the war as it was able to successfully defend about two thirds of Kashmir including Kashmir valley, Jammu and Ladakh. <SEP> India was formed out of the majority Hindu regions of British India, and Pakistan from the majority Muslim areas. Abul Kalam Azad expressed concern over the likelihood of violent riots, to which Mountbatten replied:At least on this question I shall give you complete assurance. I shall see to it that there is no bloodshed and riot. I am a soldier and not a civilian. Once the partition is accepted in principle, I shall issue orders to see that there are no communal disturbances anywhere in the country. If there should be the slightest agitation, I shall adopt the sternest measures to nip the trouble in the bud. Jagmohan has stated that this and what followed shows the "glaring" "failure of the government machinery".On 3 June 1947, the partition plan was accepted by the Congress Working Committee. Boloji states that in Punjab there were no riots but there was communal tension, while Gandhi was reportedly isolated by Nehru and Patel and observed maun vrat (day of silence). Mountbatten visited Gandhi and said he hoped that he would not oppose the partition, to which Gandhi wrote the reply: "Have I ever opposed you? "Within British India, the border between India and Pakistan (the Radcliffe Line) was determined by a British Government-commissioned report prepared under the chairmanship of a London barrister, Sir Cyril Radcliffe. Pakistan came into being with two non-contiguous enclaves, East Pakistan (today Bangladesh) and West Pakistan, separated geographically by India.
