Hajjaj bin Yousaf's Demand

Hajjaj bin Yousaf demanded compensation for looted ships from which ruler of Sindh?

حجاج بن یوسف نے سندھ کے کس حکمران سے لوٹے گئے جہازوں کا معاوضہ مانگا؟
Answer: Raja Dahir
Explanation

Raja Dahir's kingdom was invaded by the Arab Umayyad Caliphate, led by Muhammad bin Qasim, in 711 CE.

The invasion was partly motivated by the pirate raid off the coast of Debal.

It resulted in gifts to the Umayyad caliph from the king of Serendib (modern-day Sri Lanka) being stolen.

Raja Dahir was born in 663 CE and ruled Sindh from 695 to 712 CE.

He was defeated and killed by Muhammad bin Qasim in the Battle of Aror in 712 CE.
