Difference between tugulq dyansty and Rajput dyansty ?
Answers
There aren’t many differences. The few that there are, I enumerate below:
The Sultanate was ruled over by five unrelated dynasties while the Mughal Empire was ruled only by one dynasty.
The Mughal rule has had a greater cultural impact on India, mainly because more information about the Mughals is available. Of course, there are texts available from the time of the Delhi Sultanate, but nobody bothers to read those.
The Mughals brought with them gunpowder firearms, field artillery and a navy. Of course, the navy came much later. [This is something interesting: History says that the Lodis lacked any firearms or canons during the Battle of Panipat in 1526. This seems to me a bit implausible because military conflicts in South India between the Vijayanagara Empire and the Bahmani Sultanate did involve gunpowder. The Bahmani Sultanate broke away from the Tughlaq-ruled Delhi Sultanate in the first half of the 14th Century.]
Answer:
Tughluq dyansty
Muhammad bin Tughluq (also Prince Fakhr Malik Jauna Khan, Ulugh Khan; died 20 March 1351) was the Sultan of Delhi from 1325 to 1351. He was the eldest son of Ghiyas -ud -Din -Tughlaq, the founder of the Tughluq dynasty. His wife was the daughter of the Raja of Dipalpur. Ghiyas-ud-din sent the young Muhammad to the Deccan to campaign against king Prataparudra of the Kakatiya dynasty whose capital was at Warangal in 1321 and 1323. Muhammad has been described as an "inhuman eccentric" with bizarre character by the accounts of visitors during his rule. He is also known for wild policy swings. Muhammad ascended to the Delhi throne upon his father's death in 1325. He was interested in medicine and was skilled in several languages — Persian, Arabic, Turkish and Sanskrit. Ibn Battuta, the famous traveler and jurist from Morocco, was a guest at his court and wrote about his suzerainty in his book.
Rajput dyansty
A Rajput (from Sanskrit raja-putra, “son of a king”) is a member of one of the patrilineal clans of western, central, northern India and some parts of Pakistan. They claim to be descendants of ruling Hindu warrior classes of North India. Rajputs rose to prominence during the 6th to 12th centuries. Until the 20th century, Rajputs ruled in the “overwhelming majority” of the princely states of Rajasthan and Surashtra, where the largest number of princely states were found.
The Rajput population and the former Rajput states are found spread through much of the subcontinent, particularly in north, west and central India. Populations are found in Rajasthan, Saurashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Jammu, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar.
There are several major subdivisions of Rajputs, known as vansh or vamsha, the step below the super-division jati. These vansh delineate claimed descent from various sources, and the Rajput are generally considered to be divided into three primary vansh: Suryavanshi denotes descent from the solar deity Surya, Chandravanshi from the lunar deity Chandra, and Agnivanshi from the fire deity Agni. Lesser-noted vansh include Udayvanshi, Rajvanshi, and Rishivanshi. The histories of the various vanshs were later recorded in documents known as vanshaavaliis.
