How did Muslims conquered India? I understand how they did it with Persia since it was left vulnerable from it's war with the Byzantines but how did Muslims take and left such a huge impact on India? Also, how did the Mughal Empire work since you essentially have Hindu majority being ruled by Muslims, like how did that not fall flat on it's face?

Reminder that the Persians outnumbered the Arabs in every battle they fought

Because India is literally in a worse position than Persia/Byzantium: it;s a region with a bunch of Hindu Kingdoms.
Also fucking Turkics conquer shit as a hobby. And Mahmud of Ghazni led the first serious Islamic incursion into India.

India was always always more vulnerable than Persia, it was a bunch of independent kingdoms and principalities with constantly shifting borders because no one liked one another. The conquest itself was very slow, there wasn't a unified effort by the forces of Islam to capture the land for the Caliph and for Islam, it was mostly adventurers who wanted to create their own little kingdoms, preferably outside the Caliph's influence. Trade and the riches of the Hindu temples were also a huge factor in Arabs migrating there.
And by the time the Mughals got there, there had been a Muslim presence in India for centuries, it was nothing new to have a Muslim monarch for a majority Hindu population, there were even situations where the opposite happened and everyone got along fine.
