Muhammad Ghazni and Muhammad Ghori

The Arabs came to India by invading the 'Sindh' region. In 712 AD, the Arab army of Muhammad bin Qasim brought the entire northern Indus Valley under their control. In 1000 AD, Muhammad of Ghazni invaded India. Ghazni, who invaded India 17 times, plundered the wealth of India. The Somnath temple in Gujarat was also plundered. Next was the turn of Ghori. In 1176 AD, Ghori conquered the infidel Ismailis of Multan. In 1192, Ghori captured Ajmer and Delhi through the Battle of Tarain. Ghori, who defeated Jayachandran and conquered Kannauj and Benares, brought most of the regions of North India under his control by the dawn of the 13th century and established a Muslim empire in India. After Ghori was assassinated in 1206, his general, Qutbuddin Aibak, ruled independently and established a dynasty called the 'Slave Dynasty'.
