Co incidentally Lahore was ransacked on multiple occasions before the 12th Century but after it finally fell to the Moghuls it remained largely in Moghul hands till the late 19th century.

Perhaps later invaders simply bypassed it or the defenders being Muslim simply accepted any Muslim overlord much easier than Delhi becuase Delhi was by then considered the true capital.

I find it perplexing that men like Nadir Shah did not have to fight anyone to gain control… perhaps the garrsons surrendered without a fight?

I think Lahore has seen as many invasions as Delhi itself, like you mentioned the invaders mainly considered our Punjab as a buffer between their prized possession (Delhi). I had listed most of the invasions that have taken place in Punjab in another thread I’ll dig them out again.
