The battle of Multan occurred in December 1007, between the Ghaznavid forces, led by Mahmud of Ghazni, and Sukhapala, the grandson of Jayapala, a ruler within the Hindu Shahi dynasty. Mahmud's forces won the battle, capturing Sukhapala.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Background[edit]
Sukhapala was the grandson of Hindu Shahi ruler Jayapala. He was captured by Ghaznavid general Abu Ali Sanjur at Nishapur and had been converted to Islam.[1] He changed his name to Nawasa Shah. Nawasa Shah was appointed as the governor of Multan by Mahmoud of Ghazni. But later, he reverted to Hinduism and started making actions against the Ghaznavid empire.[4] He revolted against Ghaznavids in December 1007. Mahmoud marched from Ghazni to Multan and captured Sukhapala at salt ranges.[4]
