00:00Hajjaj appoints his young, brilliant nephew, Muhammad bin Qasim, to lead an elite army into Sindh.
00:05The stage is set for a clash that will reshape the subcontinent.
00:09The fate of Sindh now hangs in the balance.
00:11Muhammad bin Qasim, you will lead the campaign.
00:14Punish the pirates, humble Dahir, and bring Sindh under the caliphate.
00:18The caliph's governor, Hajjaj ibn Yusuf, sees this as a grave insult and demands action.
00:24Dahir's dismissive reply seals his fate.
00:26The pirates are beyond my control. They do not serve my kingdom.
00:30The year is 711 AD.
00:32In the sun-scorched land of Sindh, ruled by Raja Dahir, tension simmers beneath the surface.
00:39Pirates attack ships carrying Muslim pilgrims and gifts for the Umayyad caliph, seizing them off Dahir's coast.
00:45The Arab army storms the city.
00:47Dabal, once thought invincible, falls.
00:50The conquest has begun.
00:51Now, take the walls. Do not falter.
00:53The great catapult, the bride, shatters the flagpole.
00:56The red banner crashes down and panic erupts.
00:59Destroy the flag and the city will fall.
01:02A local defector reveals the flag's power over the people.
01:05Bin Qasim focuses his siege on the temple.
01:08As long as that red flag stands, Dabal's spirit will not break.
01:12Bin Qasim's army besieges Dabal, a city fortified by faith and stone, its defenders emboldened by a sacred red flag.
01:19The final confrontation approaches.
01:21For my kingdom, for my honor, I will not let Sindh fall without a fight.
01:25Dahir, isolated and desperate, marches to meet Bin Qasim by the Indus River.
01:30The tide is turning. If we do not adapt, we will be swept away.
01:33Dahir gathers his massive army, but his advisors are divided.
01:36Some urge caution, others demand battle.
01:38How could Dabal fall? We outnumber them. I will not yield.
01:41The fall of Dabal shakes Sindh.
01:45Bin Qasim offers cities a choice.
01:47Submit and be spared or resist and be destroyed.
01:50Many, weary of Brahmin rule, surrender.
01:52Dahir's kingdom fractures as local leaders switch sides.
01:56Dahir falls. His army collapses.
01:58The conquest of Sindh is complete.
02:00Mohammed bin Qasim's victory marks the dawn of a new era for the subcontinent.
02:04I will not surrender for Sindh.
02:06Amid chaos, Dahir's elephant is set ablaze.
02:09The king is forced to fight on foot.
02:11Cavalry, charge for the caliphate.
02:13Bin Qasim's archers unleash fire.
02:15The elephants panic, trampling their own lines.
02:18Forward, let the elephants charge.
02:20On the plains near Ehror, Dahir's vast army, led by war elephants,
02:24faces Bin Qasim's disciplined force.
