Description


Battle of Karnal

The Battle of Karnal (February 24, 1739), was a decisive victory for Nader Shah, the emperor of the Iranian Afsharid dynasty during his invasion of India. The Shah's forces defeated the army of Muhammad Shah which was roughly six times the size of his own in what is regarded as the crowning achievement in a spectacular military career. the Indian army was lured into battle in segments and defeated in detail, in little more than three hours, paving the way for the Afsharid sack of Delhi. The battle took place near Karnal, 110 kilometres (68 mi) north of Delhi, India.[1]
