The Battle of Debal, in 643 AD, involved a Muslim military expedition of the Rashidun Caliphate and the Brahmin dynasty of Sindh. The expedition had been launched by Uthman, the governor of Bahrain, around 643 AD. Debal, one of Uthman's brothers, led the campaign under the command of Al-Mughira.[1][2]
The Battle
Uthman sent his brother, Al-Mughira to debal where he met the enemy and defeated them and achieved victory.[3] The 9th-century historian Al-Baladhuri state that Al=Mughira won the battle. The Chach Nama, meanwhile, states that Al-Mughira was killed in action, But the statement of Chach Nama is incorrect and wrong because Mughira was alive after the battle of debal, so the verson of Baladhuri about the Mughira and his victory at debal is true.[4][5]
Aftermath
The battle paved the way for further Arabs advancement in the region.[6]
