Here is your answer...

Mahmud of Ghazni (2 November 971 – 30 April 1030) was the ruler of the Ghaznavid Empire from 997 until his death. He turned the former provincial city of Ghazni into the rich capital of an extensive empire which included modern-day Afghanistan, most of Iran, and parts of north-west India including modern-day Pakistan. He was also the first ruler to carry the title Sultan, signifying his break from the power of the Islamic Caliph.

Mahmud of Ghazni

Mahmud was the ruler of Ghazni, now in Afghanistan. He needed a large army to make Ghazni the most powerful kingdom in the region. He had heard about the wealth of the kingdoms of northern India. So he decided to raid India to collect money to raise a large army.

In a span of 26 years (1000-1026), Mahmud invaded India 17 times. His early raids were against the Hindushahi rulers of Punjab. He defeated Jaipal and Anandpal and got a large tribute from them. He also attacked the rich temple-towns of India. He raided Mathura and Kanauj in 1018, and Somnath in 1026. The Somnath Temple in Gujarat was stripped of all its wealth. Even the precious stones embedded in the temple walls were taken out. Mahmud carried away all the booty to Ghazni, where he built a beautiful mosque, library and museum. Mahmud died in 1030.
