Analyse critically the causes of the Turkish success.

It is an irony of fate that the Rajput’s who were a paragon of rare bravery, chivalry, courage and valour lost to the Turk invaders who came from barren, destitute and distant lands.

Several reasons are assigned to this phenomenon.

These reasons may be grouped under the following seven heads:

I. Political causes.

II. Military causes.

III. Religious causes.

IV. Social causes

V. Geographical causes.

VI. Administrative causes.

VII. Economic causes.

I. Political Causes:

(1) Lack of a powerful central authority:

There was no powerful central authority in India that could have offered strong resistance to the invaders as did the Magadha empire at the time of Alexander’s invasion. India at that time was divided into a number of independent Rajput states.

(2) Disunity among the Rajput rulers:

As stated by Dr. Iswari Prasad, “State fought against state for leadership and there was no paramount power which could effectively hold them together by any principle of unity or cohesion.” There were tough mutual fights among Rajputs states, particularly among the Chauhans and the Rathors, the Chandelas and the Chalukyas and the Pratiharas, Palas and the Rashtrakutas.
