Answers
Mahmud of Ghazni was the first independent ruler of the Ghaznavid dynasty, ruling from 998 to 1030. At the time of his death, his kingdom had been transformed into an extensive military empire, which extended from northwestern Iran proper to the Punjab in the Indian subcontinent, Khwarazm in Transoxiana, and Makran.
Answer:
Mahmud, who was the ruler of Ghazni was the first Turk invader. He attacked India from the north- western side 17 times during the course of 25 years. (1001 to 1025 A.D)Mahmud’s invasions exposed the inherent weaknesses of India. He annexed Punjab which opened the road for future invasions of India. His aim was to plunder the country, not want to establish an empire. Therefore he cannot be called as the founder of the Muslim Empire in India.
