Question

Describe the reasons for the victory of the turks

Answer 1

Answer:

the soldiers of the Rajput rulers had the impression that after the death or disappearance of the Raja, they could not face the enemy. The disappearance of the Raja even for a short while created panic in the army. The disappanee of Anand Pal for a while when his elephant was hit by an arrow caused panic in his army and his army lost heart and consequently battle against Mahmud of Ghazni.

Lane-poole has described the fate of the war as, “Anand Pal’s elephant took fright, the rumour ran that the Raja was fleeing from the field, vague suspicions and distrust spread about, and a general stampede ensued. Instead of retreating before a vivacious army, in an instant Mahmud found himself pursuing a panic stricken crowd.”
