The correct answer is option 1, Mahamud of Ghazni. He was a Turkish ruler who invaded India multiple times between 1000 and 1026 AD. In his invasions, he targeted the rich cities of northern India, plundering their wealth and temples. His primary motivation was to accumulate wealth and spread Islam. Mahamud of Ghazni is considered one of the most successful invaders of India, as his campaigns resulted in the weakening of various Indian kingdoms and the establishment of Muslim rule in the region. His invasions also had a significant impact on Indian art and culture, as many Hindu temples were destroyed or looted during his conquests.
