Timeline

1. 1051–1055Ghazni · AfghanistanMas'ud I died soon after his defeat at Dandanaqan. In the 1050s Ghazni was ruled by Abd al-Rashid, Farrokhzad, and others, maintaining control of eastern Afghanistan and Punjab from Ghazni and Lahore, with Persian court culture still flourishing.
2. 1053–1058Punjab and Sindh frontier · PunjabGhaznavid forces maintained garrisons and raids toward Punjab. The Indian Shahi dynasty had already been crushed in Mahmud's time; in the 1050s the main opponents were local north Indian powers and the Seljuks to the west, not a surviving Shahi empire.
3. 1059–1060Ghazni · AfghanistanAfter Farrokhzad died or was replaced in 1059, his brother Ibrahim (son of Mas'ud I) acceded and reigned for a long time. This was not the deposition and killing of Mas'ud I—he had already died around 1041.
