Medieval India

The medieval period marks an important phase in the history of India. The history of medieval India begins with the Rajput Era of chivalry and feudalism. During this period, Delhi was ruled by dynasties like Khiljis, Tughlaqs, Sayyids and Lodis. Later, Babur, who was the descendent of Timur came to India and established the Mughal empire which later witnessed the rise of great Mughal emperors including Akbar the Great, Jehangir and Shah Jahan. In the western India, Shivaji emerged as an able and efficient leader of the Marathas and forged a powerful military chain to adopt guerilla tactics to maul the Mughals.
