Solution
The correct option is C
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.
With a cavalry of about 8000, he invaded Sindh.
In the later decades, on the other hand, invasions by Afghans, Mongols and Turks occurred.
