I don't know anyone of us knows about this man or not. He was last Hindu ruler of Sindh. Belong to Brahmin cast. He fought with all his valour against the first Islamic invasion against Mohammad Bin Qasim. But he lost unfortunately. Not mentioned about him in our school history.
"I m going to meet the Arabs in the battle&fight them as best as I can. If I crush them, my kingdom will then be put on a firm footing. But if I m killed honourably, the event will be recorded in the books of Arabia n India, n will be talked about by great men....
It will be heard by other kings in the world, and it will be said that Raja Dahir of Sindh sacrificed his precious life for the sake of his country, in fighting with the enemy."
But unfortunately nothing mentioned about him in our books. He is last king of Sindh Raja Dahir.
My Sindhi friends have tradition to have holika dahan into house. Bcoz when BIN Qasim was going to attack Sindh, Raja Dahir told Sindhis that do Holika Dahan into homes. This ritual is done my many Sindhis even today.
