Medieval period is determined as a part of our history when Muslims from other countries invaded India. some of them looted our country but also some which had plans to stay,such as Mahmud of Ghazni was an aggressive muslim conqueror who had plans to loot our country and incident created by him was the incident of somnath temple which he looted ruthlessly and carried away many Indian workers with him as prisoners. The another Muslim invader was mahummad of Ghur who had plans to stay in our country.Many Indian Rajput kings tried to kept them away but in vain. One of them was a chahmana/Chauhan king: Prithviraj Chauhan who defeated muhammad of ghur in first battle but in this he did a serious tactical mistake.He let him go without killing him and because of his this serious mistake, he had repayed the cost of his chivalry. And next year,Muhammad returned and Prithviraj was defeated and captured. many Indian kings helped Prithviraj to defeate and capture the muslim conqueror, but jaichandra the king of Kannauj stayed away as he was a huge enemy of Prithviraj. later on many kings came to India and captured the places.one such were the Delhi sultans and the mughal empire.
In this medieval period, India was in a poor condition as the real identity of Indian traditions and kings were lost and all were following the way how the Muslims live.
