Hi all :)
Please can you confirm whether the wikipedia information about the ghurid dynasty is accurate? I have a few questions:
- Is it true that they were sunni, or were they shia or something else?
- were they related to/ descended from either the umayyad dynasty or the abbasid dynasty?
- whats the link between the dynasty and the pakistan nuke (the ghouri missile)
- is there a surviving lineage of theirs anywhere?
- would they have an accurate claim to be referred to as "sayyed" (descendent of the banu hashim tribe, specifically a descendent of abdul muttallab)
- is there anything interesting about them that most people dont know?
Thank you in advance. I am trying to learn about the historical dynasties in/ around Afghanistan and south Asia so any help you could provide would be really fantastic
