DBA Armies

Between 710 and 712, an Arab force penetrated the River Indus from the sea and conquered most of the regions of Sind and Kutch. In 725 an Arab army from Sind invaded Central India on instructions from the Umayyad Khalif. It penetrated as far as the northern foothills of the Vindhya range, but was defeated by the Hindu Pratiharas. A further invasion in 833 was beaten even more decisively, causing the loss of Kutch and much of Sind; and Arab India then survived as the two small states of Mansurah and Multan. Multan was conquered by Mahmud of Ghazni in 1010 and both states were finally suppressed by Qutb-ud-Din Aibek, founder of the Delhi Sultanate. Reference: Armies of the Middle Ages Vol 2 1. Heath.
