The Arab conquest of Kaikan (alternatively Kikan, Kiknan, Qaiqan or Qayqan) was a military campaign by the Rashidun and Umayyad Caliphate against the Jats of Kaikan, in present-day Pakistan.^[1] The Kingdom of Kaikan faced several invasions from the caliphate. During the reign of the Khalifa al-Mu'tasim the Arabs annexed this region successfully after defeating the Jats.

Background edit

Before this expedition, Harith himself led an expedition against the kingdom of Kaikan in year 658 AD and obtained booty and captured 1,000 slaves in a single day, but in his second raid in 663 AD he was killed there, this was confirmed by the Baladhuri,^[2] before this many expedition sent by Caliphs direct against the indian kingdoms and in sindh, the motive behind this was plundering and obtaining booty as it's confirmed by the sebeos^[3]

The Battle edit

In the year 40 A.H or 660 AD, Taghar Or Saghar bin Da'ir appointed as a commander to the charge of frontier of Hind, he raided many district and captured much booty and slaves and then finally arrived in kaikan, where the native stood up to fight against him, They were about 20,000 in number but the army of Islam attacked them and overpowered them, so the people of kaikan retreated but when the Arabs shouted out "Allah hu Akbar" Then the people of kaikan being in fear surrendered themselves and some of them accepted islam and rest fled away.^[4]^[5]

Aftermath edit

After the victory, the Muslim army gained a foothold. However, upon receiving the news of the death of Hazrat Ali, they turned back and return to Makran. Upon their arrival there, they learned that Mu'awiya, son of Abu Sufyan ibn Harb, had become the Khalifah. After this phase many battles fought between the Muslims and kaikan and in the end Muslims annexed the kingdom of kaikan.^[6]^[7]
