Frontier Indian Kingdoms and Arabs:
When the Arabs overran Persia, they came into contact with what was then the
frontiers of India. Partially because they had stretched themselves too far, also
because they knew little of thie areas beyond but also because they encountered
kingdoms who were prepared to contest the Arb advance, the Arab expansion
halted here.
One of the kingdoms that was considered a frontier Indian kingdom was Kapisa,
also identified with the people described as Kamboj in the Mahabharata.
Identified with Kshatriya kings, Brahmins and Budhhism, this kingdom was also
identified with Turki Shahis, also identified as India Kshatriyas, it offered fierce
resistance and defeats to Arabs.
