SEBÜK TEGİN DÖNEMİNDE GAZNELİLER’İN TOHÂRİSTAN HÂKİMİYETİ
GHAZNAVID DYNASTY’S DOMINANCE ON TOCHARISTAN IN THE PERIOD OF SABUKTIGIN

Summary/Abstract: Sabuktigin is regarded as the true founder and first ruler of the state, after Alptegin, who laid the foundations of the Ghaznavid State. Sabuktigin, who had an important place in the history of the Ghaznavid State, was bought by Alptigin in Bukhara and married to his daughter. Sabuktigin rose rapidly, thanks to the tasks he received in the palace of Samani and Alptegin's support, and eventually occupied the throne of the Ghaznavid state. After Sabuktigin dispatched the confusions in the Ghaznavid state, he started a campaign to India. Sabuktigin has gained significant success in India, and added strength to his power. In this period, the governors who were in the remote parts of the State of Samanids frequently rebelled. These rebellions, and the inability of the Samanid State to control the governors, increased the influence of Sabuktigin in the state. Particularly during the 2nd century of Amir Nuh II, Sabuktigin and his son Mahmud were rewarded with nicknames and landscapes by Amir Nuh II for their help to the State of Samanîds. The Ghaznavid state, in the period of Sabuktigin, dominated Tocharistan in its entirety. This situation continued during the periods of the successors of Sabuktigin. The fact that Tocharistan has a strategic prescription for the Horasan and transoxania regions provided great gains for the Ghaznavid State in the following years
