Question

Write a note on the Arab’s conquest of Sind and its impact.

Answer 1

Answer:

Conquest of Sind

Military raids against India had been undertaken by the Muslims as early as the reign of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (634–644), but the pace of expansion in the region was initially slow. Several governors were appointed to the Indian frontier (thaghr al-Hind) and tasked with conducting campaigns in the east.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Arab conquest of Sind had little effect so far as political factors were concerned. ... Wolsely Haig writes, “It was a mere episode in the history of India and affected only a small portion of the fringe of that vast country.” After the death of Muhammad-bin-Qasim, the Arabs were liable to penetrate more into India.
