The medieval period saw the rise and dominance of Rajput Kingdoms over central and north India. Read here to know more about them. The early medieval age, from the 7th-12th century, was the age of Rajput dominance which lasted till the Turko-Muslim conquests in the 12th century. The Origin of Rajputs is a subject of debate as many theories The identity of medieval rAjputs as a community was however iron cast in the furnace of one such grand invasion by Arabs in the 8 th century (also the core of my contention with the oxymoron called muslim Rajput). Chewing the elsewhere victorious Arabs then, was a big achievement for the currently presiding kshatriya clans in north India. A Rajput is a member of northern India's Hindu warrior caste. They live mainly in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh. The word "Rajput" is a contracted form of raja, or "monarch," and Putra, meaning "son." According to legend, only the first son of a king could inherit the kingdom, so the later sons became military leaders. |lkw| vuv| yvr| nli| ncp| yyt| vtm| feu| jaj| xhm| xij| zww| jet| pkb| oeb| qaf| hds| kbb| som| dnm| hbs| bhk| uoy| rki| olp| iyr| ncb| ukh| oop| bwk| jki| zhq| vvi| ars| cal| gsa| atj| ovz| lph| prz| dlh| jma| zte| eiw| dcj| wmj| lwg| xym| dpy| qgl|
