Gabru I am not surprised you didn't find anything, again this aspect of history has been heavily whitewashed not just in India but everywhere to promote the myth that Islam is egalitarian and other such nonsense, here is an online book by the great historian K.S Lal titled "Muslim Slave System in Medieval India", you can read it online here:

Infact I urge every Hindu to read all the Voice of India books and books by people like Arun Shourie to know the real history of India, another thing I want to highlight is that African slavery did not start with Europeans, there was a flourishing East African slave trade centuries before under Muslims and many black slaves were captured and sold by their own people and Arab traders to white people, infact Muslim majority counties were some of the last to ban slavery and even today slavery is widely practiced in Sudan by the Muslim majority against the Southern Sudanese (mainly xtians and native religion followers).
