The specific details of the battle and its immediate aftermath are notoriously difficult to reconstruct in light of the distinctly contrarian narratives present across primary sources.[2] Defeat is usually blamed on the gap in relative military prowess.[3][2] Orientalist and nationalist historians asserted of the battle to be a civilization-clash between Hindus and Muslims;[1][2] this view has since penetrated into the Hindutva discourse.[4] Modern scholars unanimously reject such characterizations as fatally flawed.[5][4]
