The Arab Invasion of India : The Beginning

By the middle of the seventh century AD, with the disappearance of the Sassanid Empire, the Arabs were now poised to invade India. In this video, we will look at the first phase of this invasion, which resulted in the conquest of Makran.

Jay bhai, would you consider making a video on the Multan sun temple, and what became of its famous murti ?

[tvrulz]

Why didn’t the Sindhis use the warnings and the time they had to build their defensive fortifications and institutions? Do we have any reasons because it seems like they rested on their laurels.

When the mongols devastated Hungary King Bela did so much to protect Hungary from the second invasion from Batu khan 3 decades later. We also know Alfred the great protected the land of Anglo saxons from danish raiders for centuries with his forward planning of fortresses and his standing army of feudal levies.

At that time Afghanistan was ruled by Hindushahis, not Turkshahis. Turks came to Afghanistan after the arabs.

The thumbnail makes me curious, how common were camels in ancient Indian warfare? Was it just something that became more and more important with growing interactions with the Middle East?
