Inspired on https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/buddhism-in-east-africa.221493/ and https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/african-hindu-state.405642/, I'll reformulate those ideas: If Islam never existed, how plausible would it be for a Hindu or Buddhist Swahili Coast to exist?
Without Islam, could Hindu or Buddhist Indian traders have traded with the Swahili Coast and converted the local Bantus to Hinduism or Buddhism?
If so, what would a Hindu or Buddhist Swahili Coast look like?
