Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -'Sind¿s Fall to the Crescent: A Turning Point in South Asian History'This book examines the Arab conquest of Sind, led by Muhammad bin Qasim, which profoundly impacted South Asia and the Arab world. More than just a military victory, it initiated lasting cultural, religious, and political exchanges.Before the invasion, Sind, under Raja Dahir, was a diverse region with Hindu, Buddhist, and local traditions. However, its political fragmentation made it vulnerable to the expanding Umayyad Caliphate. The Arab conquest, driven by religious and strategic motives, opened vital trade routes and introduced Islam to the region, creating a new political and religious order. This work explores not only the military aspects but also the cultural transformations that shaped both regions for centuries.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.
