Arabs


Answer: (C) Arabs

  • The initial encounter of the Hindu rulers of Sindh started in 636, while under the leadership of Hakam, Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab occupied India against Thane and Bharuch.
  • A number of Arab invasions have taken place Indian states after that.
  • The invasion of Mohammed Bin Qasim in 712 AD was important in this sense.
