How was Turkish dynasty replaced by Afghan rulers?
Answers
Answer:
The Turk Shahis or Kabul Shahis were a dynasty of Western Turk, or mixed Western Turk-Hephthalite, origin, that ruled from Kabul and Kapisa to Gandhara in the 7th to 9th centuries CE.[1][7][8] They may have been of Khalaj ethnicity.[9][10][11] The Gandhara territory may have been bordering the Kashmir kingdom and the Kanauj kingdom to the east.[12] From the 560s, the Western Turks had gradually expanded southeasterward from Transoxonia, and occupied Bactria and the Hindu-Kush region, forming largely independent polities.[13] The Turk Shahis may have been a political extension of the neighbouring Western Turk Yabghus of Tokharistan.[7] In the Hindu-Kush region, they replaced the Nezak Huns – the last dynasty of Bactrian rulers with origins among the Xwn (Xionite) and/or Huna peoples (who are sometimes also referred to as "Huns" who invaded Eastern Europe during a similar period)
