The correct answer is Option 3 -Muhammad Bin Qasim The Arab general who conquered Sind in 711 CE and made it a part of the Caliph's domain is Muhammad Bin Qasim. Qutub-ud-din Aibak, Muhammad-Bin-Tughlaq, and Muhammad Ghori were all Muslim rulers of India, but they lived and ruled centuries after Muhammad Bin Qasim. Muhammad Bin Qasim was a brilliant military commander and strategist. He was only 17 years old when he was sent by the Umayyad Caliph Al-Walid I to conquer Sind. Qasim's army was much smaller than the Hindu army of Sind, but he was able to defeat them through his superior tactics and leadership. After conquering Sind, Qasim established a just and benevolent rule. He treated the non-Muslim population with fairness and respect. He also built roads, bridges, and mosques in Sind. Qasim's conquest of Sind marked the beginning of Muslim rule in India. |
