The Battle of fort Rawar[1][2] was a battle between the Umayyad Caliphate led by Muhammad ibn al-Qasim and Brahmin dynasty led by Raja Dahir.
The Battle[edit]
Muhammad ibn al-Qasim arrives and disposed his army, and ordered the miners to dig and undermine the walls. He divided his army into two divisions; one was to fight during the day with mangonels, arrows, and javelins, and the other to throw naphtha, and stones during the night. Thus the bastions were thrown down. Rani Bai, the sister and wife of Raja Dahir, assembled all her women and said, "Jaisiya is separated from us, and Muhammad ibn al-Qasim has come. God forbid that we should owe our liberty to these outcast cow-eaters! Our honour would be lost! Our respite is at an end, and there is nowhere any hope of escape." Then they all went to the house and committed Jauhar.[3]
