There were some motives behind Mahmud Ghazni's invasions of India. These were:
· He was anxious to conquer Central Asia. For this he wanted a lot of money to organize a well equipped army. India was quite rich. He thought that he could easily get money from there by his invasions of India.
· His ambition was to build Ghazni into a big and powerful kingdom. He needed money for this, too.
· He wanted to claim religious merit by invading the temple towns of India.
· The weak political conditions of India encouraged him the most to attack India 17 time in 25 years.
