Which of the following was the key objective of invasion of Mohammad Ghori on India?

• A. Loot and Plunder wealth of India
• B. To spread Islam by Sword
• C. To punish Rajputs who attacked his dominions
• D. To expand the Ghurid Empire

Answer: (D)

The major objective of Ghori to attack India was to expand his empire and satisfy his imperialistic ambitions. The expansion of Islam and his ambition to glorify his name through his military exploits could be said to be his secondary aims. Similarly, loot and plunder may also be secondary aims because that was norm in those days to acquire Gold and wealth from defeated rulers.
