Mahmud of Ghazni or Mahmud Ghaznavi was the first and perhaps the most powerful ruler of the Turkic dynasty. Having ascended the throne at the age of 27, Mahmud was known for practicing bureaucratic, political, and cultural customs that were highly influenced by the Persian school of thought. As an able ruler, he made the capital of Ghazni a center of culture, commerce, and intellect. Considering himself to be the “Shadow of God on Earth,” Mahmud plundered and looted some of the richest and wealthiest cities and countries at that time, and one of these countries was India. Mahmud of Ghazni is believed to have invaded India 17 times during which he plundered many richest cities and temple towns in India. However, like many other invaders, he was not able to conquer India.
Mahmud of Ghazni wanted the capital of Ghazni to be the center of all political power in Central Asia, and invading India was one of the steps to accomplish this task. By invading India, he wanted to prove his might and also expand his empire.
The first invasion by Mahmud of Ghazni was in 1000 A.D. that led to the capture of some of the frontier forts in the Khyber Pass. After capturing the forts, Mahmud of Ghazni appointed governors in these cities and forts and left India.
In 1001 A.D., Mahmud of Ghazni invaded the Hindu Shahi kingdom near Peshawar. The ruler of the kingdom, Jaipal, fought a fierce battle with the invader but lost. In this invasion, Mahmud of Ghazni added 50 elephants and 2,50,000 dinars to his booty. Mahmud of Ghazni also added several thousand Indians as slaves to his empire.
The third invasion took place in 1005 A.D. when Mahmud attacked Bhera. The ruler Bijai Rai offered a tough fight to the invaders but lost. The entire kingdom was looted by Mahmud of Ghazni and several people were killed mercilessly.
In 1006 A.D., Mahmud Ghazni invaded Multan which was under an Arab ruler. He was able to conquer Multan in a week and plundered all of its wealth.

A race called Khokars also helped Anandpal attack Mahmud Ghazni’s army and killed almost 5000 soldiers of Mahmud’s army. However, on the battlefield, Ananpal’s elephant got scared and fled from the field, leaving the other rulers and the entire army at the mercy of Mahmud of Ghazni. Reportedly, Ghazni’s army slaughtered the army of the Hindus and killed almost 20,000 of them.

The seventh invasion of Mahmud of Ghazni was that of Nagarkot in Kangra. The region was known for its wealthy temples. It is believed that after this invasion, Mahmud of Ghazni returned with so much wealth, jewelry, silver, and gold that his people congregated to see the wealth of India.
