The first recorded contact between Meghalaya and the outside world was in the 7th century, when the Chinese traveler Xuanzang visited the region. He noted that the people of Meghalaya were &#8220;very simple and honest&#8221; and that they &#8220;worshipped the sun and the moon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the 13th century, the Muslim sultanate of Bengal conquered parts of Meghalaya. This led to the introduction of Islam to the region, and many people converted to the new religion. However, Hinduism remained the dominant religion in Meghalaya, and Islam never became as widespread as it did in other parts of India.<\/p>\n<p>In the 18th century, the British East India Company began to establish trading posts in Meghalaya.
