Welcome back to my fifth blog guys. Today in this blog I will share something about the battle of Plassey which took place in 1757 and was fought between troops of British east India company , led by Robert clive and Siraj-ud-daula, the last nawab of Bengal.  Source: Wikipedia VS. Source :Wikipedia When Siraj-ud-daula came to power in Bengal the Britishers were worried about his position because he was a strict ruler. He was seeing it clearly that the British east India company is not paying the levied taxes and charges completely to them. Siraj-ud-daula also sent warnings to the company about this. As a result, there were a lot of conflicts running constantly at the same time since long. Britishers were not happy with the nawab of Bengal.                                       Source: Wikipedia Due to these conflicts the British east India company wanted the r uler of Bengal as a puppet rural for them. On the other hand,

Battle of khanwa

Hello readers, happy to see you back here again. I hope you have read my previous blog which was on 1st  battle of Panipat which took place in 1526. Now covering that series I will try to explain about next battle which is the battle of khanwa that took place on March 17, 1527. these battles could be considered as a turning point in the history of India because they put a mark for the establishment of Mughal rule in India. If these events could not have been taken place then the history of India would have been different. there would not have been any taj mahal, laal Kila, bibi ka maqbara, and many other tombs. But we have to focus on what happened with the help of sources available.  The battle of khanwa was fought between Babur, the 1st mughal emperor and Rana sangha who had defeated Ibrahim Lodi long ago. Beyond any doubt, Babur was the winner of this battle and there were a lot of mistakes done by the great Rana Sangha due to which he got defeated by Babur.              Source: Wik

1st Battle of Panipat 1526

Greetings, glad to have you back here. As in my previous Blog, we have seen how the course of fighting of tarain happened and how it opened the doors for Muslim invasion in India. When Babar lost his parental state of Farghana and also failed to annex his ancestor's territory of Samarkand, he tried and captured Kabul and redirected his consciousness towards the conquest of Hindustan. He saw Hindustan as an alternative option to rule and spread.  Source: Wikipedia Map of India in 1525.   Also, the income of Babur from the province of Kabul was very low and limited so he was not in a position to meet even his administrative costs constructively. He was facing trouble in giving remittance to his agents and soldiers. At the same time, there were many provinces in Kabul, in which the expenses surpassed the income of that particular state. Therefore, Babur had greedy thoughts to take control or conquer the fertile and rich provinces of India like that of Punjab to meet his own exp

Second battle of Tarain

Welcome back readers to my second blog which is in continuation of my first blog about the battle of tarain. The second battle of tarain took place just a year after the first battle of tarain in the year 1192. In my previous blog, we learned how the ignition for battle took place by the first move of Mohammad Ghori, and due to his overconfidence and weak army, he lost against the Chauhan. Now the second battle was inevitable as Ghori wanted the north Indian territory for expansion.  A few months before the second battle of tarain the Chauhan empire had spread its boundaries and took control over tomars, candelas, paramars, and gurjara-pratiharas. The chauhans also annexed back their fort of bathinda which was taken by the ghurids during 1191. Also the king Prithviraj chauhan was farsighted so he tried many times to form an alliance with jai chandra who was the king of gahadavala empire so that they could together defeat the ghurid empire but no response and support came from them.

First battle of Tarain

  If we look back, thousands of wars have been fought on the soil of India; monumental wars, legendary wars, but in my view, the two most important battles which were fought and impacted very deeply on the history of India, as well as the future of India, were the battles of tarain. In this blog and one upcoming blog, I will try to do an in-depth analysis of these two battles.  Let's have a look at the map where both the battles of Tarain have been fought in 1191 and 1192.    Source: Wikipedia In the above map of India of 1191-92, you can see that India was divided into several kingdoms and was disturbed internally with each other and was fighting internally for valor and power. External powers such as ghurids took advantage of this weakness.  On that map, we can see the ghurid empire led by Mohammad Ghori was spread all over the parts of present-day Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Now his new target was India and he knew the importance of north India.  He didn’t know that it
