Answer:
Mahmud of Ghazni was attracted to enormous wealth of India. This made him repeatedly invade India. He also added religious dimensions to his invasion of India. He destroyed the temples of Somnath, Kangra, Mathura and Jwalamukhi.
Explanation:
To gain possession of the wealth of India
Mahmud of Ghazni was the first Turk invader. He attacked India from north-western side 17 times. He invaded India only with the idea of plundering because he wanted a lot of money to establish a well-equipped army.
In his later invasions, he targeted temples of India as these temples are the great depositories of wealth.
