Amir Suri[edit]
Amir Suri was a Hindu[5] king from the ancient Ghorid dynasty in the 9th and 10th century. He was a descendant of the Ghorid king Amir Banji Baharan whose rule was legitimized by the Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid after a peace treaty. Amir Suri was defeated in war with the Saffarid ruler Ya'qub ibn al-Layth al-Saffar.
Amir Muhammad ibn Suri[edit]
Muhammad ibn Suri was also, despite his name, a Buddhist king of the Ghorid dynasty from the 10th century to 1011. He fought against Mahmud of Ghazni. According to Minhaju-S Siraj, ibn Suri was defeated and captured by Mahmud of Ghazni, made prisoner along with his son Abu Ali and taken to Ghazni, where ibn Suri died by poisoning himself.[6]
Ibn Suri's son Abu Ali ibn Muhammad (reigning from 1011 to 1035) later converted to Islam, and constructed mosques and Islamic schools in Ghor.[8]
Conversion to Islam[edit]
According to tradition, Surs are descended from the Ghori tribe. Several books by Islamic historians including Tarikh-I-Guzida of Hamdu-lla-Mustaufi, Towareekh Yumny, as well as Ferishta record that besides Muslim Surs there were also Non-Muslim Hindu and Buddhist, pagan Surs, who were attacked by Mahmud of Ghazni and converted to Islam by him.
Origin of the Afghan tribe of Suris
According to Farishta a Suri male expelled from his country Gour took refugee among Afghans married an Afghan women and later his descendants came to be known as Afghan Surs or Suris
Current Hindu Suris and their origin
There is Khatri Hindu Sikh Suri tribe of Punjab but right now they do not claim any link to Gaur , Afghanistan .
Indian (Panjab): Hindu (Khatri) and Sikh name, based on the name of a clan in the Khatri community, from Sanskrit suri ‘sun’, ‘priest’, ‘sage’. It is also an epithet of Krishna.
