The Siege of sarsuti 1033 was the military confrontation between the Armies of Ghaznavid led by Masʽud I of Ghazni and Lohara dynasty who was ruling in present day kashmir.

Background

Masʽud I of Ghazni was the son of Mahmud of Ghazni He was the sultan the Ghaznavid Empire from 1030 to 1040. He rose to power by seizing the Ghaznavid throne from his younger twin Mohammad, who had been nominated as the heir upon the death of their father Mahmud of Ghazni.^[1]

The Battle

The Masʽud I of Ghazni invasion of Sarsuti fort took place in the 11th century when the Ghaznavid ruler Masʽud I of Ghazni marched against the fort, ordering the ditch to be filled up with sugar canes from the adjacent plantations. This being done, he caused scaling ladders to be applied to the walls; and the fort, after a bloody contest, was taken^[2]. The fort was known for its strong defenses and was a key stronghold in the region. Masʽud I of Ghazni put the entire Garrison to sword expect womens and childrens.^[3]

Masud's forces launched an attack on the fort, overpowering the defenders and eventually capturing it after a fierce battle. The invasion of Sarsuti fort was seen as a significant victory for Masʽud I of Ghazni, as it gave him control over an important strategic location and helped him expand his influence in the region.^[4]

Aftermath

After capturing the fort ,Masʽud I of Ghazni led the campaign against the further region of India and capturing Hansi Sirsa and other important region.^[5]^[6]

After capturing Sarsuti fort, Masʽud I of Ghazni used it as a strategic base to launch further campaigns in India. He continued his conquest of northern India, plundering and looting various cities and temples along the way. Masud's military campaigns resulted in the weakening of local rulers and the consolidation of his power in the region.
