The success of the Turks in India.
In the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries, when his weaknesses were demonstrated by conquest of India, his strength and bravery were demonstrated by continuing to fight there. The Indians were weak in theory and in politics.
Yet their small empires have also become the head of foreign invaders. For example, when conquering the northwest was easier for Alexander, small empires placed obstacles in his way.
When Muhammad bin Qasim attacked Sindh, he had to conquer many places like Deval, Sindh and Narun etc. The same thing happened to Mahmoud Ghaznavi and Muhammad Ghori.
Thus, India was weak and invincible, but many shortcomings began to come to Rajput's life, as a result of which they were defeated and the Turks prospered. The reasons for the Turkish success can be divided into several parts.
military cause-
【●】 There have been significant differences in Rajput and Turkey's military alliance. The Indian army in particular consisted of ambiguous units, such as infantry, cavalry, and cavalry, but there were significant differences in their use. There were major differences between Indian and Turkish horses.
Indian horses were poor and Indian soldiers did not fight hard in battle, and Tuks had bad horses and used all kinds of steering techniques, guerilla warfare, fast running, retreating, and so on.
【●】The Rajputs elephant army was also responsible for the defeat. The Rajputs used an army of elephants to crush the enemy, and the Turks used them to break down the gates of the fortress or trample on the enemy during a fierce battle.
【●】 There was also a big difference in the tactics of the two, Rajputs often felt more powerful. They often explained their religion in order to die for their faith while fighting on the battlefield, when the Turkish strategy had already been worked out and they often retreated whenever they could.
【●】The Rajput army did not have a permanent permanent force. Most of the war was fought on the basis of an army of feudatories. There was a great sense of state interest among the feudatories.
【●】 The Turks had a variety of modern weapons, while the Rajputs used to fight with old weapons. The Turks had machines for breaking kilos, Majnik, Arda, etc.
【●】 The Rajput generals often wore light clothing and sat on the elephant, so the enemy could see them quickly, without seeing another commander, and there was great panic in the battle.
【●】All Rajputs forces used to take part in the war together, and the Tuks also had a safe army.
【●】The Rajputs fought for their safety while the Turks fought hard.They used to choose a battlefield like this.
【●】 There were many "encouraging" reasons for the Turkish army. For example, the spirit of jihad, the greed for money, the desire for prominence.
【●】 Turkish generals also pay close attention to military service and defend themselves in difficult situations, and Rajput generals take it upon themselves to show their courage.
【●】The Rajputs also pay close attention to the moral aspect of the war. They only wanted to win the war on religion. They even let the loser run away, but the Turks look to win only.
【●】 The Turkish intelligence service was very efficient, and the Rajputs did not pay much attention to it.
【●】Fighting the Indians was the work of the Khathatriyas only, and in Tuks all the citizens.it was considered warlike. the army is organized
【●】The policy of sudden invasion was full of the Turkish people, so the enemy became busy.
Political Reasons-
【●】 In the Turks, only a suitable heir was selected, and in the Rajputs, the king was made a genealogy, even though he was unfit.
【●】 The Turks did not give importance to the tribal offerings. Everyone was entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.
For the rulers of Rajput, great importance was given to the genealogy, meaning and chain. High positions were usually confined to the Brahmins and Kshatriya. The Prime Minister's son used to be the Prime Minister whether he deserved it or not.
【●】The management of Rajput was able to pay little attention to public interest activities due to its involvement in the war, as a result of which the public was unhappy. Involved in domestic disputes, he was unable to improve his foreign department.
【●】 The feeling of nationalism was disappearing among the Rajputs. He was devoted to the kingdom only, not to the world. This was the reason why all of them did not make any effort to expel the immigrants.
【●】 The Feudal system was the main reason for the decline of the Rajputs. He had all the bad qualities of feudalism. The kings of the empire were selfish and when the event came, they themselves became independent. The defeat of the Rajputs was therefore inevitable.
social cause-
【●】 The Rajputs social organization was very weak. They are divided into several categories. Among them the class inequality was far greater and strife and mutual respect were a major factor.
【●】When the Rajputs had many qualities, they were also arrogant. Being in the ego, they often bought a fight for no reason.
【●】Many social evils have also reached Rajputs. For example, polygamy, false games, drug abuse, the complexity of the segregation system, superstition superstition etc.
religious reasons-
Defects in the Hindu community increased. Karmaism was replaced by the belief in fate. It was ruled by the stars and the senses. The principle of non-violence also made the Rajputs deserted, while Muslims fought the spirit of jihad. The main option before him was Gazi's title or the acquisition of great wealth. Therefore, this was also the main reason for his victory.
personal reason-
The commander's character has a high position in the war. Mahmoud Ghaznavi, Muhammad Ghori, Qutubuddin Aibak, Muhammad bin Qasim were skilled generals. He was a born leader. The Rajput generals were relatively inexperienced, short-sighted and thoughtless but sincere and courageous.
reasons for the accident-
The events of many wars also changed the course of all wars. For example, in the time of Jaipal, there was a blizzard, the Chandela king suddenly fled, the Anandapala elephant was destroyed, Jaichand got an arrow in his eye, there are many such examples.
