Muslim invasion in India.


In India Mohmud Ghazni dynasty was short lived. After him Afghan high Landers from Ghor [Between Ghazni and Herat] who sacked Ghazni in 1155 and putting all males to death. Little remains there today to remind posterity of the reign of the Ghaznavide, save the tomb of Mahmud Ghazni.
The peace which India has enjoyed for more than a century was once again to be rudely broken. A Nephew of the man who sacked Mohamud Ghazni eventually set up his throne viz Muizz-ud-din, commonly known as Mohamud Ghori. This man like Ghazni before him was the Ruler of India for thirty years.

He made in his first business to consolidate Muslim gains in India and ride himself of Muslim rivals. By this was he brought under his control the old Arab Colony on the Indus, captured Multan and Sind. In 1184 he ravaged the district of Lahore and fortified Sialkot. Thus established he turned upon the Hindus, whom he and his fanatical Afghans were only too eager “to send to the fire of hell”. Attempting to seize garrison Sarhind, however he encountered fierce opposition from the Great Rajputs.

The two forces met in 1191, ten miles to the north of karnal near to the Historic battle field of Panipet Muslims attacked the Rajputs in a rude way, but the Muslims were worsted and fled across the Indus.

The Sultan smarted under the defeat and vowing vengeance, returned next year at the head of 1, 20,000 troops composed of Afghans, Turks and Persians. This time the Rajputs
were overthrown with ruthless slaughter. Many Rajput Chiefs were slain, and sent to death. This victory of Muslims led to annexation of Ajmir and other territories in 1192.

Qutb-ud-din, a slave of Muhamud Ghori was appointed as Viceroy of India. Eventually on the death of his master he founded the Empire of Delhi. In the meantime there was much fighting to be done in which the Sultan and Quth-ud-din cooperated. They subdued
The intervening country right up to Banares, Whilst Bakthiyar Khilji, pushing still further east, secured Bengal as a permanent possession for the Muslims.

By killing thousands of Rajputs and Hindus and on their bloodshed the Muslim terrorists entered India and established their Kingdom.
