Some Glorious Achievements of Muhammad bin Qasim                                                                                                                                Conquer of Sindh                                                                                                                                                                                              When Muhammad bin Qasim began the invasion of Debal, the ruler of  sindh  Raja Dahir was  staying in his capital Alor (Nawabshah) about 500 killometers away.Debal was in the charge of a governer with a garrison of four to six thousands Rajput soliders and a few thousand Brahmans, and therefore Raja Dahir did not march to it's defense immediately. All his while,the young invader was keeping in close contact with Hajjaj, soliciting the latter's advice even on the smallest matters.so efficent was the communication system that letters were written every three days and replies were recieved in seven days. so that the campaign was virtually directed by the veteran Hajjaj ibn yusuf himself when siege of Debal continued for some time a infecter informed Muhammad bin Qasim How the temple could be captured.Thereupon the Arabs,planting their ladders stormed the citadel-Temple and swarmed over the walls.As per Islamic injuctions, The inhabitants were invited to accept Islam.The carnage lasted for three days.The temple was razed and a mosque built.At Ar_rur bin Qasim met Dahir's forces in the battle but he defeated Dahir and dahir died.Muhammad bin Qasim captured the sindh.
