Imran expedition of kaikan was the final conquest done by the military commander of Abbasid caliphate ,imran ibn musa ibn yahya. He finally defeated the Jats of Kaikan and Subjugated the kingdom.
Background[edit]
"Ghassan ibn Abbad" appointed as his successor over the frontier Musa ibn Yahya. He put Bala, ruler of the East, to death despite the fact that he offered him 500,000 dirhams to spare his life. This Bala had tried to intrigue with "Ghassan ibn Abbad" and wrote to him about visiting his army along with the other kings who had done so but he had refused to allow that.Musa ibn Yahya left a good reputation and when he died in 221/836, he left his son 'Imran b. Mūsā as his successor[1][2]. The Commander of the Faithful al-Mu'tasim wrote to him appointing him governor of the Sind frontier district[3].
The expedition[edit]
Imran ibn Mūsa made an expedition against the Kaikan Jats, fighting and defeating them and subjugated them, and building a city which he called (Al-Baida) , where he established his army. Imran made war against the meds, killing three thousands of them and built a "highway of meds"[4][5].
Imran also summoned the Jats at Ar-Rur Alor'and he sealed their hands (by branding), collecting the jiziya from them and ordering that each of them should bring a dog with him when he presented himself.Hence, the price of the dog rose to 50 dirhams[6][7].
Aftermath[edit]
After this triumphant affair with the Jats, Imran again attacked the Meds at several different points, having many Jat chiefs under his banners ; and he dug a canal, by which the sea-water flowed into their lake, so that the only water which they had to drink became salt[8].
