The Conquest of Agra in 1080 AD was a significant event in the history of the Indian subcontinent, pitting two powerful empires against each other: the Ghaznavid Empire and the Rashtrakuta Empire of Kannauj
The Ghaznavid forces, led by (Mahmud shah) himself, launched a full-scale invasion of the Rashtrakuta territories, marching towards Agra with a massive army and laying siege to the city. The Rashtrakuta army, under the command of King Gopala, fought valiantly to defend their lands, but they were eventually overwhelmed by the superior numbers and tactics of the Ghaznavid forces.[1].
The Battle[edit]
(Mahmud Shah) was the son of Ibrahim of Ghazna and appointed as governor of Punjab by him in 1075 AD[2].
The Raja jaipal of Agra is identified as Gopala[3][4].
