Dear Tariq,
The above question was asked by you a long back on Samajsandesh.com. Here is the reply:
1. As per Rajtarangini, Gurjar Samrat Mihir Bhoja Mahan directly took control of the borders at Kabul to block the expansion of Arabs. He romoved the some autonomous power given to his fuedatories. Probably it happened in the wake of renewd Arab Attack on the Gujjar Empire. 850 AD the Arab expansion was blocked at kabul by the Gujjars whereas the regions upto Spain were under control of the Arabs. That is the reason the Gujjars ( written as Al-Juzr or Al-juzaria translated by britishers as suskufaria, which was mentioned as the highest caste in India) were called the greatest enemies of Arabs.
2. After the death of the Great Gujjar Samrat Bhoja, Mahendra Pal, his illustrious son, became the Emperor of Gujjar Empire. He expanded his kingdom in the east upto Barma. One of his inscription is found from Pratiharrajpur, near Dhaka.
3. During the beginning of his reign king of kashmir, Sankargan, the one who was removed from power by the Great Bhoja, took advantage and probably takka ( Taksshila) was lost to him from Gujjar Empire. It was the time probably Kabul was also lost to Arab raids. Alkkana was the Gujjar Governor that time ruling on behalf of Gujjar Empire in Kasmir, Punjab and Afghanistan.
4. In 899, two Gujjar princes Mahipala and Bhoja II were sent from the capital of Gujjar Empire, Kannauj, and they captured back the Kabul from the Arab control. Shankargana was killed and his kingdom was given to one of his queen to rule.
5. When in AD 910 Prince Mahipal ( Also known as Kshitipala in Rajore inscription, Mahi and Khisti means the same Mahipala means the lord of the whole universe) became the Emperor of Kannauj, his son Jaipal was made ruler of Punjab, Afghanistan and Kashmir. His inscription is found from Barikot in Swat valley.
The army size of Gujjar Samrat Mahipal Deva is recorded as 36 laks as per the Arab records. The Gujjar dominated Arabs all through and in Multan, the Arab principality, the situation was so bad for Arabs that thier army used to hide behind the Sun Temple, to protect themselves from the Gujjar Armies. One Regiment of Gujjar Army, having 7-9 Lakhs cavaliers was always placed at the frontier at Kabul.
6. The illustrios Trilochana Pala, (well praised in Rajtarangini by Kalhan the great poet), was son of Gujjar Samrat Vijaypaldeva who was made the Emperor of Kannauj later. Jaipaldeva and Vijaipaladeva were son of Gurjar Samrat Mahipaladeva. Anandpaladeva was son of Jaipaldeva and Brahmpal was son of Anandpaladeva. They all fought Mehmud and were supported by the other Gujjar kingdoms of Gujjar Chauhan ( Ajmer), Gujjar Chandella ( Kalinjar), Gujjar Parmars ( Ujjain).
Mehmud was defeated by Trilochanpala Deva on three occasion, one in Punch area, second in association with Dhanga Gujjar of Chandella clan and on third occasion in Gujerat in assocaition with Bhima Solanki. He was the only one who was capable of beating the strategies adopted by Mehmud but unfortunately the Gujjar Empire was divided by that time and it helped Mehmud.
I can give the historical evidences on any of the above facts and also specify the points where the cheating about the Gujjar history took place.
