Years: 1026 - 1026
Mahmud, by 1026, has waged the last of seventeen campaigns in a quarter-century of holy war of conquest in the northern Indian plains, demolishing Hindu temples, defacing idols, and carrying treasures back to Ghazni.
Mahmud has defeated the Gurjara-Pratiuharas, the Chandellas of Khajuraho, the Rajputs of Gwalior, and the Arab ruler of Multan.
A ferocious warrior, he is also a lover of literature who brings intellectuals to his capital.
Although a harsh master of his conquered territories, he does not force conversions to Islam, and employs Hindu troops in his depredations.
