Answer:
Mahmud of Ghazni (reigned 999–1030) was the first ruler of the independent Ghaznavid Empire, a Central Asian empire that controlled the lands corresponding to Afghanistan, eastern Iran, Tajikistan, eastern Uzbekistan, northern Pakistan, northern India, and southern Kyrgyzstan. Arising from the decaying Samanid Empire, which had formerly been the overlords of the Ghaznavids, Mahmud broke free in 999 and spent the rest of his reign fighting constant military campaigns against the Iranian and Afghan princes to his west and the Indian princes to his east. He established a strong powerbase for the Ghaznavid Empire, which would endure for another century and a half after his death.
