The Battle of Debal, in 643 AD, involved a Muslim military expedition of the Rashidun Caliphate and the Brahmin dynasty of Sindh. The expedition had been launched by Uthman, the governor of Bahrain, around 643 AD. Debal, one of Uthman's brothers, led the campaign under the command of Al-Mughira.[1][2]
The battle
Uthman sent his brother, Al-Mughira, to Debal where he met the enemy and defeated them, achieving victory.[3] The 9th-century historian Al-Baladhuri states that Al-Mughira won the battle. The Chach Nama, meanwhile, states that Al-Mughira was killed in action, but the statement of Chach Nama is incorrect and wrong because Mughira was alive after the battle of Debal, so the version of Baladhuri about Al-Mughira and his victory at Debal is true.[4][5]
Aftermath
The battle paved the way for further Arab advancement in the region.[6]
