Draft:Siege of Hansi

The Siege of Hansi in 1037 was a major military confrontation between the armies of the Ghaznavid Empire, led by Masʽud I of Ghazni, and the Tomar dynasty. The city of Hansi, located in present-day Haryana, India, was an important strategic and commercial center at the time.

Background
Before Masʽud I of Ghazni, his father Mahmud Ghaznavi proceeded as far as kannauj and defeated many kingdoms and brought under his control, which easily opened the walls of Hind for his successor to carry the war against the Indian kingdoms.

Battle
Masʽud I of Ghazni launched a military campaign against Hansi in order to expand his empire and gain control over the region. The siege lasted for 10 days, during which the Ghaznavid forces laid siege to the city and attempted to breach its defenses.

Despite the valiant efforts of the defenders, the Ghaznavid forces eventually succeeded in breaching the city's defenses and capturing it. The fall of Hansi marked a significant victory for the Ghaznavid Empire and cemented their control over the region.

Aftermath
The Siege of Hansi in 1037 had long-lasting consequences for the Tomar dynasty, as their power and influence in the region significantly diminished after the loss of Hansi. The Ghaznavid Empire, on the other hand, continued to expand its territories and captured nearby areas like sonepat, sirsa and establish itself as a major power in the Indian subcontinent.
