ARAB INVASION OF INDIA.

Before Going Forward, Let's Look at India's western Border before Arab Invasion

Western Border of India had:
1. kapisi in North
2.sindh in South
3. Tsao Kuta in Between.

These 3 Roughly Equals to Modern day Afghanistan and Pakistan Combined Together.

For the First Time, Arabs Raided Thane, Broach and Debal in The Year 636-637.

Raid Ended in Disaster as The Muslim army Was Put to Slaughter.

Disturbed by This Disaster, Arabs Sent an Army From Western Land Route, I.e. Makran Desert.

But the Army was Recalled when Arabs learned that Sindh had a More powerful Army

Ali too sent An Army, but that Was Slaughtered.

Then Arabs Sent Another army towards Kabul Under Abdallah, Which ended in Disaster.

For More Than Twenty Years, Arabs Tried to Capture Desert borderland of Makran, but we're Unable to.

For next 25 years, Arabs made No attempts to Attack Sindh.

Then, Aj-Hajjaj became the Governor of Iraq.

He had ambition of conquering India.

Once, king of Sri Lanka sent few muslim Women to Khalifa, which were Captured by Pirates in Debal.

Al-Hajjaj wrote to Dahir, but Dahir said that He had No Control Over the Pirates.

This Gave Arabs another reason to attack.

Al-Hajjaj sent 2 More Forces to attack Sindh but Both Were Destroyed.

Then, he appointed his Nephew and Son in Law Bin-Kasim as Incharge of Expedition.

Bin- Kasim then Proceeded to Debal where City Was Captured and Inhabitants were Slaughtered Ruthlessly For 3 Days.

Then, He Went to Nerun, Where Buddhist Monks Not Only Surrendered the City, But also helped kasim in Further Conquests.

Read This and Weep.

Then Kasim Proceeded to Raor and Jitor, Where Local Feudatories of Dahir Betrayed him and Joined Bin Kasim.

Some More Traitors Betrayed Dahir and Joined Kasim.

Finally, a Pitched Battle Took Place.

Hindus Fought Bravely and victory was Near but Then Local Chiefs who Betrayed Dahir Came to Aid the Arabs.

Arabs Sent Naptha Shots on Dahir's elephant, which Plunged into water.

Dahir was Shot with an Arrow and His Head was Cut off.
