Q. Ghazi Saiyyad Salar Masud, whose dargah is located in Bahraich, was defeated by which Indian ruler?
Answer:
Suhaldev
Notes: Saiyyad Salar Masud was a nephew of Mahmud of Ghazni and is remembered for his military expeditions in northern India. He was ultimately defeated by Raja Suhaldev of Shravasti in the Battle of Bahraich in the early 11th century. The site of Salar Masud's dargah in Bahraich (Uttar Pradesh) became a significant pilgrimage center, especially after Firoz Shah Tughlaq renovated it. This event is celebrated in regional folklore and marks an important chapter in medieval Indian history.
