Since its about Ghazna a little back ground on the warrior. More will follow latter.

Ghazan’s accomplishments were in no way restricted to his activities on
the battlefield. A man of great intellectual curiosity, he was
conversant with such diverse topics as natural history, medicine,
astronomy, and chemistry and was also an adept in several
handicrafts. “No one surpassed him,” says the Byzantine historian
Pachymeres, “in making saddles, bridles, spurs, greaves and helmets; he
could hammer, stitch and polish, and in such occupations employed the
hours of his leisure from war.” Besides his native Mongolian, he is
said to have had a knowledge of the Arabic, Persian, Hindi, Kashmiri,
Tibetan, Chinese, and Frankish (i.e., probably French) languages.

It was at his suggestion and with his assistance that his vizier Rashid
ad-Din composed a celebrated history of the Mongols, which was later
expanded to embrace all the peoples of Asia and Europe with which their
conquests had brought them in contact. Rashid ad-Din, Ghazan’s great
minister, was perhaps the real author of the fiscal reforms that go
under his master’s name and that were designed to protect the sedentary
population from the extortions of the nomad aristocracy. These
measures, coupled with the adoption of Islam, must have played their
part in welding the Mongols and Persians (like the Normans and English)
into a single nation, and the Il-Khans might have ended, like the
Plantagenets, by becoming a truly national dynasty. In fact, Ghazan
himself, by his ruthless elimination of princely rivals, must have
contributed to the extinction of the Il-Khanids, who survived his death
by little more than 30 years

The question was:

“Were the attacks of Mehmood Ghaznavi justfied in the light of islam???”

“The answer by Abdali is about Gaznavi’s special interests other than battle”

How relevant an answer…well what else can one expect here! and it seems more of this irrelevance is going to follow!

Please read my first line it said more to follow. But your narrow mind coupled with your narrow scope on top of that Indian history books makes you dangerous. Little knowledge is too dangerous.

Before I post further in the context of Islam I thought it is better to have a little back ground on the subject.

You have alreday ruined this thread, I am out of here.
