A man who invaded your Motherland for so many times and your king pardoned him 17 times, doesn't go with any logic. If he was pardoned one time and then once he committed the crime surely he would have been sentenced. 17 times is just not wild estimation, it is unthinkable even in dream. Even no Muslim general will go through 17 defeats, rather than they would have liked to die on the hand of enemies for sure. 17 times pardoned - just think yourself.He was defeated once and Captured by Pritviraj. Why he didn't kill him is big question! May be because of Multan and Ghauris will then be untied against Prithvi. Cause both the two Empires were looking for more lands.
