A self-correction. I wrote:

...the first wave of Dom refugees is supposed to have left NW India in the aftermath of Mahmud of Ghanzi's invasion in the first decades of the 11th century (200 years before Genghis Khan).

 

Sorry for the typo in the name of the greatest Ghaznavid king of Afghanistan. I mean Mahmud of Ghazni (=Ghazna), the grandson of Alptigin (=Alptakeen). For more historical background see John's excellent overview.
