Answer:
Muslims brought changes in areas such as social security, family bonding and structure, slavery and rights of women.
According to Bernard Lewis, Islam "from the first denounced aristocratic privilege, rejected hierarchy, and adopted a formula of the career open to the talents".
This tells that Islam taught that anyone with the ability to do something good has all right to do it. It also taught that your status isn't based on how much money you have or how rich and powerful your ancestors were, instead it depends on your own performance.
Muslims retained their identity and introduced legal and administrative systems that was better than the existing systems of social conduct and ethics.
Muslims brought their language, dress, cuisine, all the art forms, architecture and urban design, and social customs and values to the subcontinent. Islamic and Mughal architecture and art is widely noticeable in India, examples being the Taj Mahal and Jama Masjid.
Muslim rule brought a greater urbanisation of India and the rise of many cities and their urban cultures. The biggest impact was upon trade resulting from a common commercial and legal system extending from Morocco to Indonesia.
Numerous Indian scientific and mathematical advances and the Hindu numerals were spread to the rest of the world during this period and much of the scholarly work and advances in the sciences of the age under Muslim nations across the globe were imported by the rulers.
The languages brought by Islam was modified over time, which lead to the creation of several new languages, such as Urdu. The influences of these languages exist in several dialects in India today.
