Muhammad Ghori occupied Delhi(Part-01)

Muhammad Ghori occupied Delhi(Part-01)
Muhammad bin Qasim and Sultan Mahmud invaded the Indian subcontinent, defeated local kings, destroyed their army, plundered much of their wealth, and captured women and children as slaves, but never attempted to establish a kingdom. Many times, they have left the newly conquered state in the hands of the faithful and nominated rulers and have returned to their own kingdoms. As a result, no true Muslim rule has been established in the Indian subcontinent till then. Thus, on the whole, historians think that the founder of the real Muslim rule in the Indian subcontinent is Muizuddin Muhammad bin Sam alias Muhammad Ghuri. Through repeated attacks and counter-attacks, Muhammad Ghuri was able to build strong Muslim empires in the region.

The name of a small area between the Herat and Ghazni regions of present-day Afghanistan. The feudal king of the house was Bahauddin Sam, the father of Muhammad Ghuri. Bahauddin Sam's two children; Giasuddin Muhammad and others Muizuddin Muhammad. Muizuddin Muhammad Ghori helped Baravi in ​​the battle of Khorasan during the occupation of Ghazni in Ghiyasuddin. Muizuddin Muhammad Ghuri was an ambitious military leader. From an early age, it seems to him that such a small kingdom is not for him; he cannot be satisfied by ruling the younger Ghazni as two brothers. He needs more power, a bigger state. So the whole of India is confused with the thought of how to get India. So he learned the battle well and went down the expedition. In turn 5, the present Multan of Pakistan attacked, and the ruler of Multan took hostage of Khusrau son of Ismaili community of Islam and took ransom. Originally, the expansion of his kingdom was initiated through the occupation of Multan. Within a few days of the occupation of the Multan, he continued to occupy small kingdoms of the Indus basin. In the 5th, it occupied the upper kingdom of Sindh and built a fort there. Muhammad Ghuri from Sindh tried to enter Gujarat. Initially, Muhammad Ghuri faced resistance from the local Rajput warriors, because by then the Rajputs were strong enough, the brother-in-law's inter-clan had not yet been so sharply grained. Gujarat's Rajput king Bimdev Solanki defeated Ghuri in the battle of Qaidara near the Gujarat capital of Annilbar. But the killing of the prisoner left Muhammad Ghuri alive as the Rajputs disobeyed the rules of war. Although lost in battle, Muhammad Ghori's army went to destroy and loot temples, ganja, cities on the return route. But there is no saying, do not be afraid of defeat, heroic defeat of the Nike goddess of the queen of Gujarat when she tried to invade Gujarat one more time. After failing to occupy Gujarat, crossing the desert at the head of defeat, he returned to Sindh, but his campaign did not stop.

In the 5th, Ghauri occupied Peshawar. By 12, all the kingdoms of the entire Indus basin came under its control. After Sindh, Muhammad Ghori's eyes fell on Punjab and Lahore. Muhammad Ghori was well-acquainted with the politics of India, the division of the Rajas, the religious rituals, the division of the Hindus, the social and military power, the weaknesses, the prospects and the threats. He knew that India was just as vulnerable to wealth, gold and jewelery as the perfect defense. Because he was already well-versed in the stories of Muhammad bin Qasim and Sultan Mahmud's repeated invasion of India. Muhammad Ghauri planned to occupy the state and not return to his homeland only. After conquering the state, local residents will start living here by establishing Islam. The thought that works; So the attack began.

The first battle of Taraine: In 7, Muhammad Ghauri crossed the Khyber Pass between Afghanistan and Pakistan with extensive preparation and reached the Punjab border between India and present Pakistan. On reaching Punjab, Ghori started an expedition to Delhi and occupied the Sirhind of Punjab. Prithviraj occupied a strong fort in the northwest of the state of Chauhan. Muhammad Ghuri received the news of the attack on Kazi Zia Uddin in the direction of Gujarat. The two armies were stationed at Tarain, 5 miles from Thaneswar (Haryana). When Muhammad Ghori's Mamluk troops started throwing arrows, Prithviraj Chauhan's army bravely resisted the invasion and took control of the war. Muhammad Ghuri was seriously injured in a conflict with Govind Rai, Prithviraj's brother, and Govinda himself was injured. In the end, Prithviraj Chauhan's army achieved a final victory and Ghori's army marched on the battlefield. It is important to note here that even if defeated in battle, Govinda does not kill the invading defeated soldiers. The severely wounded Muhammad Ghori helped Qutubuddin Abeak to escape the battlefield by riding on horseback. The history of Ghori's victory in India is written in the wake of the defeat of the first battle of Tarain.
