Indian Resistance to Early Muslim Invaders Up to 1206 A.D.

Indian Resistance to Early Muslim Invaders Up to 1206 A.D. is a book by Ram Gopal, examining early medieval invasions of India and the theories of Elphinstone, Naim, M. Habib, and K. Nizami. It was published in 1983 and includes reproductions of Sanskrit inscriptions which describe historical events.
The author describes that the invading armies did not have the same "success" in India that they had had in other countries. In particular, in the course of discussing modern-day Afghanistan & the many failures of the Ghaznivids, he recounts the story of Jayapala who tried to recapture Kabul in 986-987. According to the author, Jayapala “was perhaps the last Indian ruler to show such spirit of aggression, so sadly lacking in later Rajput kings”.
