Consider this description of a person living around 1600:

i farm a small plot of land along the indus river. like most of my neighbors, i am hindu, yet for the most part our muslim rulers treat us with respect. in fact, i have talked to some people who seem both muslim and hindu in some ways — like me, they believe in reincarnation, yet they worship only one god. our rulers also treat these people with respect.
