Ghurid Empire

The Ghurid Empire was a medieval power that existed in the late 11th and 12th centuries, primarily in what is now Afghanistan and parts of northern India. It emerged from the Ghur region and became notable for its military conquests, including the capture of Delhi. The empire played a key role in the spread of Islam in South Asia and was known for its architectural achievements, including stunning mosques and towers. The Ghurids eventually fell to rival powers, but they laid the groundwork for future Muslim states in the region. Their influence helped shape the history of South Asia.
