Siege of Mansura 740-743 AD was one of the conflict happened between the Umayyad caliphate and the hindu kingdoms of Western India in which Muslims gained victory against the Indian kingdoms who besieged the mansura.
Background
[edit]Hakam built a city on the eastern borders of a lake, which he named (Mahfúza) , "the guarded." He made this a place of refuge for the Musulmáns, established it as the capital, and resided in it.[1][2]
Amr ibn Mohammad ibn Kasim was with Hakim, and the latter advised with him, trusted him with many important matters, and sent him out of al-Mahfuzah on a warlike expedition. He was victorious in his com- mission, and was made an amir. He founded a city on this side of the lake, which he called Mansura, in which the governors now dwell.[3][4]
The Siege
[edit]The city of Mansura was founded by Amr ibn Muhammad al-Thaqafi and soon the city was besieged by the forces of Indian kingdoms.[5] Amr asked for help from his superior Yusuf ibn Umar al-Thaqafi for the reinforcement and Yusuf ibn Umar al-Thaqafi despatched 4000 troops perhaps including Iraqis and Jazirans. This relatively small number were all the forces that could be spared. Nevertheless, they proved sufficient to defeat the enemy and expel them from Sind.[6][7]
Aftermath
[edit]The forces of Raja were totally destroyed by the troops of Amr ibn Muhammad al-Thaqafi and then he controlled the land and turned his forces on the arab rebellion and put Ma'n bin zaida in charge of his vanguard .[8]
