The Turušhka ruler Sultan Sebüktegin conquered Manglaur after he defeated the king of the Indus River region, who was known as Anandapala. Abu Abbas bin Ahmad Asfar Aayni was Sebüktegin's minister at that time. At that time, Manglaur was an independent state. Its area was 5000 miles at that time. It was conquered and briefly held by Sebüktegin but wasn't held for long as Sebüktegin had to go back to Afghanistan causing Manglaur to fall back into the hands of native Indian rulers as soon as Sebüktegin went back to Khorasan. At the time of Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi, the Farooqi family came in Manglaur, who founded a Madrassa there for the education of Muslims. In 1056 AD, a Muslim missionary named Sulaiman Gyasudeen Gauri brought the generation of Amirul Momineen Hasan to Manglaur for further education of the Muslims. At that time it was known as Dawaba Manglaur, Bhosak Pura Mangal Sen. There was a big factory (karkhana) of islah saji. Hasni was good in islah Saji and kamaan saji, Today they are known as kamangarana. Maulana Sheikh Jamaluddin Gaznavi Mijaz Sheikh Ahmad Chisti is from the Hasani generation whose grave is present in Mohalla Malakpura at the bank of Jamaal Pond. Today, this pond is known as Jamaal Garha. In 17th century, a Sufi saint named Shah Abdul Ghafoor Kardatani came in Manglaur and died here teaching Islam to the locals. His shrine was built by Gyasudeen Balban after his death. In 1857, when the Great Indian Rebellion had started against the rule of the British, many Muslims of Manglaur joined the rebellion. They attacked many British Army outposts in and around the town of Manglaur. The Muslims in this region played a vital role during the rebellion fighting against British rule. After the rebellion was over, a Madrassa named Jamiya Arbiya Al Muslimeen was established in Manglaur. During British rule until 1947, it was an important learning and education centre for Muslims all over British India. After the Partition of India in 1947, the town became a part of Uttarakhand state in India and some Muslims fled to Delhi to board the refugee trains heading to the newly created nation of Pakistan but the majority of Muslims surprisingly stayed in India. Today, the Muslims are a well established community in this town and the town is also the only majority Muslim region in the state of Uttarakhand.
