# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Muhammad ibn al-Qasim al-Thaqafi was born into the Banu Thaqif tribe near Taif in 695. After the Muslim conquest of Persia, he was appointed governor of Fars, likely following his uncle. Between 708 and 711, still in his teens, he led the military campaign that seized Sindh from the Sindhi Brahman dynasty, capturing the capital Aror and becoming the first Muslim commander to take Indian territory. He served as governor of Sindh from 712 until 715, his last campaign securing Multan in Punjab. On his return journey to Arabia, he died in Mosul in 715 at the age of nineteen, though some accounts place his burial in Makran along the Balochistan coast.
