The 고르칸 왕조 (Ghurid Dynasty) was a medieval dynasty that ruled parts of present-day Afghanistan and Northern India from the late 10th to the early 13th century. It emerged from the Ghur region and is known for its military conquests and cultural contributions, particularly in architecture and literature. The dynasty is notable for its role in the spread of Islam in the Indian subcontinent. The Ghurids were instrumental in the establishment of the Delhi Sultanate, which marked the beginning of Muslim rule in India. Their influence laid the groundwork for future empires in the region.
