Mahmud of Ghazna conducted raids in Northern India for wealth acquisition and stability, unlike Mohammad Ghori who established the Ghurid Empire leading to the Delhi Sultanate.
Mahmud of Ghazna (971 – 1030) was a Ghaznavid ruler who conducted campaigns in Northern India. Contrary to some historical depictions, recent studies suggest his motives were not solely focused on Islamization but also on showcasing his power and stability through wealth acquisition. His incursions were not novel due to pre-existing Muslim communities in the region.
Mohammad Ghori, on the other hand, overthrew the Ghaznavids and established the Ghurid Empire, which expanded into Northern India. He defeated Rajput rulers, leading to the establishment of the Delhi Sultanate by his commander-in-chief, Qutb-ud-din Aybak, marking the beginning of a major Muslim presence in India.
Mahmud's raids were characterized by a focus on wealth acquisition to strengthen his empire, while Mohammad Ghori's conquests aimed at establishing and expanding the Ghurid Empire, leading to the Delhi Sultanate.
