 Ghaznvids Dynasty
Mahmud was acknowledged by the caliph and given an honorary title; from 1001 his Indian conquests proceeded as far as Gujarat, Sind, and Kanauj in the center of the subcontinent, and paved the way for Islam in India.
His son, Mahmud of Ghazna (998- 1030), the most important early Islamic conqueror, eliminated the Samanids rule over Khorasan in 999, conquered Baluchistan and Khwarazmia, neutralized the Qarakhanids and fought as a strict Sunnite against the Buyids (Rayy was captured in 1029).
Following the conquest of the town of Ghazna by the Samanids army commander Alptegin in 962, his successor Sebuktegin (977-997) became governor of the Samanids in the Ghazna region, where he enjoyed de facto independent rule and conquered lands in Khorasan.

 Parsi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Parsi is a member of the close-knit Zoroastrian community in or from the Indian subcontinent, and is a descendant of people who, in the 8th century, emigrated to the west coast of India from Persia to escape religious persecution after the Islamic conquest.
In 1745, the Parsis in and around Surat switched to the Kadmi or Kadimi calendar on the recommendation of their priests who were convinced that the calendar in use in the ancient 'homeland' must be correct.
The next record of Parsis in India show that when the kingdom was under the attack of the Muslims, many Parsi soldiers died to defend the kingdom.
