Chapter 9: 1446-1449
Omani traders expanded their trade into Kilwa
Persia called its ally Oman to help her in its invasion of India, Oman happily accepted, seeking gains from this war
However, the war ended too soon
Delhi was attacked by another Indian coalition, Oman decided to interferre to icnrease its prestige
Oman defeated an attempted Orissan invasion, Omani fleet attempted to chase the Orissan fleet but couldnt catch up and decided to return to Oman fearing a trap
Feelign that the war was hopeless to win, Barakat ordered his soldiers to deal as much damage as they can to the indians as they attempt to save Kutch
The last attempt Oman made to gain territory in India at this war was doomed when the Orissan fleet defeated the Omanis, fortunately for Oman the fleet returned to Oman without losing any ships
The Omani army attempted to liberate the region of Sind from Rajput control, however, the army of Gondwana appeared nearby and the Omanis decided to return to Kutch, the Gondwanis followed them there feeling that victory was a certainty
The omani victory was shocking, no one has expected the Omani army to win the battle of Kutch, eventhough the victory brought much prestige to Oman, it did nothing to change the tide of the war, but Oman acheived its goal of keeping its prestige high
Sadly, Barkat's brother died at the battle, his death was the reason that made Omanis fight to the end at Kutch, so Barakat crowned his son as the heir to Oman and Swahili
The indian coalition offered peace to Oman, which it happily accepted
