Muhammad bin Qasim's Indus invaded(part-02 and last)

Muhammad bin Qasim's Indus invaded(part-02 and last)

In areas where Qasim faced resistance, the Muslim army's troops were likely to be decimated, and they waited until the final moment of the capture of power. Due to the blockade tactics, the army of Armabil, Nirun, was able to capture the light without such troops. Uncle Nama states that Muhammad bin Qasim was able to occupy about 5% of the Indus basin due to blockade strategy. Even though Hajjaj bin Yusuf's son-in-law Qasim was not cruel enough, he criticized people as weak-hearted. After the capture of Hajjaj bin Yusuf Debal (Karachi), strict orders were issued that an elderly man should not survive.

Indus conquest is more than the achievements of Muhammad bin Qasim himself, the Hindus and Buddhists of the lower castes who suffered the persecution of local oppressor King Dahir. Local rebel Jats and merit soldiers joined forces and joined Kashim to defeat King Dahir. There are other reasons why Muhammad Bin Qasim could easily win the Indus -

১. Improved Arms and Military Equipment (Qasim's forces had a strong gate-breaking machine and modern arrow bow).
2. Strict rule discipline and timely leadership among soldiers
৩. The idea of   jihad motivated the Muslim soldiers. They were told that if they were alive, they would be able to enjoy the wealth of plundered women. (Lack of them, because most of the Syrian soldiers were poorly robed wanderers.)
৪. In the Indus region, rumors of Islamization were spreading like wind.
৫. Most Buddhists, Hindus, refuse to fight, preferring to surrender to genocide in war.
৬. The unrestricted oppression of King Dahir of the subjects and his ministerial bureaucracy.
৭. Social discrimination with low-caste Hindus and Buddhists.

Historian Sir Henry Miller Elliott, in his History of India history book, describes Kasim as less destructive than other Muslim invaders. Although the destruction of the temple, looting and killing of local Hindus did not stop. All the residents of Sindh were forced to convert. Upendra Tagore's book on Sindhi Culture, published by the University of Bombay, identified the time as a dark history. During the mass conversion in Sindh, the temple was demolished where Hindu Buddhists were slaughtered by all who were found and refused to renounce religion. The Brahmins of Debal (Karachi) were forcibly circumcised in retaliation for King Dahir's 'go kill' ban. After the conquest of Sindh, Muhammad Bin Qasim, during his brief rule, enforced the Hanafi and Sharia law, allowing Hindus and Buddhists to practice religion in exchange for Zizia tax.

Islam began in the Indian subcontinent through the invasion of Sindh. Then came the group of invaders, tourists, Sufis, missionaries in the area, and started living in this area. The father of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, says during the Pakistan movement that the entry of Islam into India has been made on the day that Muslims first set foot on the Indus.
