The siege of Debal, also known as the siege of Debul, took place in the autumn of 711 AD, in which the Umayyad forces under Muhammed Ibn al-Qasim besieged Debal, a city under Brahmin dynasty of Sindh ruled by Raja Dahir. Umayyads defeated the inhabitants of the fort by the order of Al-Hajjaj and captured it.
In 711, Muhammed ibn Qasim marched towards Debal with 6,000 Syrian horses and 3,000 camels with a good amount of Arab soldiers. The fort was protected by the nephew of King Dahir, 4,000 Rajputs and 3,000 Brahmins.[1][2] Umayyad forces encamped outside the fort for 7 days waiting for the permission letter to attack. On the eight day, Muhammed ibn Qasim received the letter from Al-Hajjaj and eventually the Umayyad army scaled the walls of Debal and its people surrendered.[3][4][2][5][6]
