ThE BATTLE OF RAOR OR The Arab Conquest: of Sind
The battle of Raor is important in Indian history ;as marking the Arab conquest of Sind and the
beginning of the Muhammadan invasion which, -eventually, resulted in the establishment of
Muhammadan rule in India. Ma'ny are the views regarding the identification of Raor referred to by the early Muhammadan
historians. Haig places Raor in "Lower Sind", 80 miles from Brahmanabad and about 70 miles to the
south-east of Haiderabad. Raverty locates Raor within ten miles of Brahmanabad. The identifications
referred to above do not agree with facts disclosed by the Muhammadan historians. Professor
R. C. Majumdar in his book "The Arab Invasion of Sind" conclusively identifies Raor, with the modern
town of Rohri on the western bank of Indus,. important even in the present day as commanding
the railway bridge. which connects the island of Bukkar in the midstream and Sukkur on the right
bank of the Indus. The battle of Raor took place between Muhammad-ibn-Kasim, representing the Muhammadan
Caliphate, and Dahir, ruler of Sind.
