To find the answer to the question "Who brought Islam to India?", we need to evaluate the provided options:

2. Mongols from eastern Asia: The Mongols from eastern Asia, particularly from the Mongol Empire, did not bring Islam to India. Although they also invaded parts of India, their influence was not as instrumental in the spread of Islam as the Turks.
3. Chola from southern India: The Chola dynasty ruled in southern India but were Hindus, not Muslims. They did not bring Islam to India.
4. Persians from southwestern Asia: While Persians had a notable influence on Indian culture and history, including on trade and language, they were not responsible for the introduction of Islam to India.
Based on this evaluation, the correct answer is "Turks from central Asia."
