Battle of Rajasthan

Battle of Rajasthan Junaid, the successor of Qasim, finally subdued the Hindu resistance within Sindh. Taking advantage of the conditions in Western India, which at that time was covered with several small states, Junaid led a large army into the region in early 738 CE. Dividing this force into two he plundered several cities in southern Rajasthan, western Malwa, and Gujarat. Indian inscriptions confirm this invasion but record the Arab success only against the smaller states in Gujarat. They also record the defeat of the Arabs at two places.

Poonch was ruled over by Sango Gujjar

In eighteenth century Poonch was ruled over by Sango Gujjar who was a brave king. K.D Maini in 'Tareekh Poonch" writes Great scholar Dr. Jamil Jalbi of Pakistan has written in his book 'Urdu Adab ki Tareekh' at page 79 in his first edition in this way, "One form of Urdu language is found in Gujarat which is called as Gojri or Gujarat dialect. History tells us that Gujjar community entered India as conquerors and divided its southern occupied areas into three parts: the biggest was called as Maharath, second as Gujrath and the third as Swarath. The conquerors from Turkey found it difficult to pronounce Gujrath so they modified it to Gujarat." One usually finds the proofs of presence and rule of Gujjars in Kashmir form the external aggressions. According to history, Mohd. Gaznavi attacked Kashmir twice but he failed both the times and many kingdoms came up in Kashmir from 1038 A.D to 1326 A.D. Tung Rai Gujjar was the commander in chief opposite Mohd. Gaznavi. ...

Former opponents in the race to be the European Parliament President for 2014-2019 came together this week to bury the past behind them and focus on the future of the Parliament, particular on improving transparency. European Parliament President, Martin Schulz, appointed British Pakistani MEP Dr Sajjad Karim for a second time to chair his Advisory Committee on the Code of Conduct for MEPs. The committee, established in 2012, sees dual national Dr Karim continue his chairmanship from last term. During the meeting in the President's private office the two men had a fruitful exchange and the atmosphere was relaxed. After the meeting Dr Karim said:"It is an honour to be re-appointed by the European Parliament President to Chair the President's committee which oversees the ethics and transparency.

Anangpal Tanwar

Image
Anangpal Tanwar was the first ruler to make ancient Delhi his capital. Little is known of Anangpal Tanwar, who was from the Gurjar Tanwar clan and whose ancestors had settled in the Aravalli Hills around the end of the first millennium AD. Some archaeological evidence survives of earlier settlements survive in the area and may be related to a ruler called Surajpal . Of Anangpal, the primary source for information comes from the Prithviraj Raso , a history of Prithviraj Chauhan which was written much later. Physical evidence at Lal Kot (literally Red Fort), which he is thought to have built and which is the oldest identifiable city in the area, suggests that he lived in the eleventh century. [1] [2] The Tanwar rule at Delhi passed to his son, Ausan Singh (Tejpal) and then his grandson Kosal Dev Singh (Mahipal) before the dynasty collapsed when challenged by Prithviraj Chauhan (1149-1192).
