Muhammad Ghori, also known as Muhammad of Ghor, was a prominent ruler from the Ghurid dynasty in present-day Afghanistan during the late 12th century. He is best known for his military campaigns in the Indian subcontinent, where he aimed to expand his territory and influence. His most notable victory was the conquest of Delhi in 1192, which marked the beginning of Muslim rule in northern India. Ghori's reign was characterized by his strategic military tactics and the establishment of a strong administrative system. After his death in 1206, his empire was divided among his generals, but his conquests laid the foundation for future Muslim dynasties, including the Mamluk dynasty in India.
