Gurjar Raja Jayapala(Jayapaladev): The Savior of North India who invaded Ghzani | Khatana Hindu Shahi DynastyThe Hindu Shahi kingdom also known as Raes (Kings) of Hindustan & present day Afghanistan and Pakistan had bravely fought and resisted several Arabs invasion. From the late 6th century CE the Hindu Shahi were at constant war against the Arabs and their caliphs.

We know that there was a Gurjar Hindu king who was known as Ranbal or Ranbil in Islamic texts who continuously defeated the Arabs. Later this struggle was continued by a Hindu king whose name has been forgotten in Indian history.

He was Gurjar Maharaja Jayapala Khatana  or Jayapaladev who not only stood against the wrath of the Yamini Turks, but also invaded their stronghold i.e. Ghzani.

For a very long time we had heard that Mahmud Ghzani attacked India from 1001 AD- 1027 AD but prior him it was Maharaja Jayapala of Hindu Shahi Dynasty who decided to invade Ghzani twice. But unfortunately ,such heroic courage of raiding the territory of the Subuktigin (Ghazni) with a united Hindu front under king Jayapala couldn’t find its place in Indian history.खटाना_राजवंश गुर्जरों का एक प्राचीन राज्य करने वाला वंश रहा है जिसमें हिंदू शाही राजा जयपाल खटाणा प्रमुख है आज खटाना गुर्जरों की वर्तमान रियासत समथर झांसी में स्थित है 🚩 ll

The invasion or raid on Ghzani took place somewhere in 986-87. The battle lasted for several days and the Hindu army of Jayapala Gurjar were able to secure the upper hand in the battle. According to al-Utbi the Turkish army of Subuktigin, including the young prince Mahmud (Mahmud Ghzani) were reduced to despair.  

But a snowstorm and inhospitable weather completely changed the course and the outcome of the battle. Due to the storm the army of Jayapala which was fighting far from their homeland decided to settle for peace.
