Shankara was an evangelist, converting Jains and Buddhists. As to the argument that Jains and Buddhists were not much different from Hindus, I cited instances where such conversion was accompanied by violence.

Buddha and Muhammad were founders of religion(s) and as such I would not consider them evangelists. Forced conversion is forced conversion, not evangelism in my book. In the case of Buddha, I don't think he particularly cared to start a movemen
