This is a common error made by many- The ghur
sultankalka Shihabuddin never invaded 17 times and was
never defeated 17 times. His history briefly is as
below:
-After 1175 he invaded Punjab and sacked and burned
Uch...(1)
-In 1178 he diverted south and advanced towards
Gujarat, but here the Indians acted quickly and
rallying under the western Chalukya king MUlarAja II
routed the turkish forces completely forcing him to
retreat...(2)
-Ghuri sent a message to PrithivirAja chAhamAna to
make common cause with him against the Chalukyas.
Prithivaraj however, wise disregarding his stupid
minister's advise to make a common cause iwth Ghuri,
preemptively attacked NaDDula and reconqured it from
the Turks.
-He recovered in 1180 and invaded Sindh...(3)
-The Muhammad Shihabuddin invaded Lavapura (Lahore)
with much slaughter two times in the following two
years...(4+5)
-In 1186 he invaded the Ghaznavid occupied Punjab and
defeated the Sultankalka Khushro Malik and wrested
Punjab...(6)
-1188 The Ghur Sultankalka invaded the ChAhamAna
kingdom and sacked the fort of Tabarhindah killing the
Hindu male populace and raping the women. Hindu
refugees flocked around Delhi alarming the
ChAhamAnas...(7)
-1191 PrithivirAj advanced to to meeting Shihabuddin's
raid and routed him in the great battle of Tarai.
While the Muslims suffered a crushing defeat. The
Indians failed to butcher them to man and allowed
Shihab to get away unharmed. He fled back to Central
Asia leaving Punjab completely undefended...(8)
-1191 PrithivirAj attacked Tabarhindah and reconquered
it from the Muslims. Here the biggest mistake of the
Hindus was not to reconquer and arm Punjab suitably.
-1192 Shihab returned and sacked Tabarhindah again.
This was followed by the second battle of Tarai, the
ChAhamAna army was crushed and Prithiviraj was
captured and tortured to death...(9)
-1192 the Ghur Sultankalka made a second trust towards
Ajayamerupura (Ajmer) and sacked it smashing a Hindu
temple in course of this invasion. The Hindus captured
in this expedition caused slave prices to fall to a
few Dirhams in the Muslim markets...(10)
-1193 The sultankalka invaded Kannauj and slew the
GAhadwala king Jayachandra. He followed this up with
an invasion of vArANsipura slaughtering Hindus with
great savagery and desecrating the holy city...(11+12)
After his viceroy Kutub-ud-din (also his lover?) and
the Turkish adventurer Ikhtiyaruddin Khalji furthered
the violence of Islam in the land of Hind.
Meanwhile Shihab's brother died in Ghazna and he
crowned himself Sultan and immediately launched
himself into another Jihad on the infidels of Hind in
1206 whose exact course is not clear. While on the
north-western reaches of the Sindhu, he was ambushed
by the Khokar chiefs and shot down by an arrow...(13)
Thus ended the carrier of the Moslem brigand who
brought slavery to the whole of northern India through
his 13 invasions. His grave demolished was dug up by
the Mongols under Chingiz during the sack of Ghazna.
The only consolation for us- like watching the Lankans
beat the Pakistanis in cricket.
