Okay, lets talk about slavery in general, did all muslims practice slavery ? No. But you're talking in a general sense that ALL muslims had slaves, or were involved in slavery of some sort. Not all muslims cared for slavery, and the muslim empire went from spain all the way to parts of mongolia almost. Did everyone really have a slave or practiced slavery, GET REAL.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT ? Hinduism has been around some 3,500 years, and you know what they have ? A CASTE SYSTEM. So 3,500 years of caste system is pretty damn awful, and id rather live a life as a cow than to be someone from the caste system.
The caste system is just as bad slavery, in some ways it is. I feel bad for these people. If a man dies they would throw their wives in the fire. This has been going on some 3,500 years ?
So deepak chauderwall from hinderbinderbad who suffers from the caste system would rather be some other animal right now because the hinduism is not a fair and loving religion. It deprives man of FREE WILL.
Your attempt to dodge the widespread practice of organized commercial slavery in Islamic civilization by diverting the discussion on caste is noted. But even that is a failure, for it well known that caste discrimination is a direct outcome of stresses in economic and agriculture in the
late Mughal Era and policies instituted by the British in the colonial period.
Caste system in India - Wikipedia
The caste system as it exists today is thought to be the result of developments during the collapse of the Mughal era and the
British colonial regime in India.
[1][7] The collapse of the Mughal era saw the rise of powerful men who associated themselves with kings, priests and ascetics, affirming the regal and martial form of the caste ideal, and it also reshaped many apparently casteless social groups into differentiated caste communities.
[8] The British Raj furthered this development, making rigid caste organisation a central mechanism of administration.
[7] Between 1860 and 1920, the British segregated Indians by caste, granting administrative jobs and senior appointments only to the upper castes. Social unrest during the 1920s led to a change in this policy.
[9] From then on, the colonial administration began a policy of
positive discrimination by
reserving a certain percentage of government jobs for the lower castes.
For northern Indian region, Susan Bayly writes, "until well into the colonial period, much of the subcontinent was still populated by people for whom the formal distinctions of caste were of only limited importance; Even in parts of the so-called Hindu heartland of Gangetic upper India, the institutions and beliefs which are now often described as the elements of traditional caste were only just taking shape as recently as the early eighteenth century - that is the period of collapse of Mughal period and the expansion of western power in the subcontinent."

For western India, Dirk Kolff, a professor of Humanities, suggests open status social groups dominated Rajput history during the medieval period. He states, "The omnipresence of cognatic kinship and caste in North India is a relatively new phenomenon that only became dominant in the late Mughal and British periods respectively. Historically speaking, the alliance and the open status group, whether war band or religious sect, dominated medieval and early modern Indian history in a way descent and caste did not."
As usual, your understanding of history is biased and incorrect.
