Indian campaign of Ahmad Shah Durrani
Overview of 18th-century Afghan military conquests in India under Ahmad Shah Durrani / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ahmad Shah Durrani, the founder of the Durrani Empire, invaded Indian subcontinent for eight times between 1748 and 1767, following the collapse of Mughal Empire in the mid-18th century. His objectives were met through the raids (taking the wealth and destroying sacred places belonging to the Indians) and deepened the political crisis in India.[1][2][3][4]
