उत्तर
In 1191, in the First Battle of Tarain, the forces of Muhammad Ghori were completely routed by the forces of Prithviraj. Muhammad Ghori decided to avenge his defeat and made another bid for India in 1192. The Second Battle of Trarain in 1192 is regarded as one of the turning points of Indian history. The Turkish army of Muhammad Ghori won the battle. A large number of Rajput soldiers lost their lives. Prithviraj escaped but was captured. Later on the Turkish army attacked and captured Ajmer. It seems that Prithviraj was allowed to rule over Ajmer for some time as is evident from the coins of the period giving the date and the legend Prithviraj a deva on one side and the words ‘Sri Muhammad Sam’ on the other.
