Turks succeeded against Rajputs
Advertisements
Solution
- The Rajputs were brave soldiers and skilled swordsmen. But they suffered defeat after defeat. The reasons for their defeat or, in other words, causes for Muslim success were the following:
- The Rajputs lacked unity. They were always fighting with each other. Prithviraj Chauhan and Jaichand could not unite against Muhammad Ghori.
- Rajput chiefs were jealous of each other.
- The Rajputs had no standing army of their own and hence had to depend on the feudal lords for contingents.
- The Rajputs were no match for the quick and swift army and cavalry of the Central Asian warriors.
