Lodhi Dynasty of Multan

The Lodi Dynasty was founded by Hamid Khan Lodi after the end of the Arab power in Multan in 961 A.D.[1] In 1010 A.D. Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni defeated Daud grandson of Hamid Lodi. Sheikh, son of Daud, in 1040 A.D. rose against Sultan Mahmud.[2] In 1040 A.D Mahmud Ghazni sent an army under the command of Ahmad Hajib to Multan. When the army reached Multan, the Sheikh fled and took asylum in Mansura, capital of Sindh and the Ghaznavid army took control of Multan ending the 80 years long Afghan rule over Multan.[3]
