The Varaha dynasty ruled most of India, except for the southern and Deccan regions. Before their reign in the subcontinent, they held power in Khorasan (now northern Iran and Afghanistan). For over 200 years, they bravely defended Hindustan’s northern frontiers along the Indus River against invaders. It was only through treachery that Mahmud of Ghazni defeated them, opening the way for his entry into Hindustan.
