1012 CE to 1023 CE

Mahmud of Ghazni has set out on regular expeditions against the Rajput Confederacy after deciding to retaliate for their combined resistance, leaving the conquered kingdoms in the hands of Hindu vassals and annexing only the Punjab region.

He also vows to raid India every year.

Mahmud had already had relationships with the leadership in Balkh through marriage.

Its local emir, Abu Nasr Mohammad, had offered his services to the Sultan and his daughter to Mahmud's son, Muhammad.

After Nasr's death, Mahmud had brought Balkh under his leadership.

This alliance greatly helps him during his expeditions into Northern India.
