The Second Battle of Tarain was a turning point in the Indian history. How?
Answers
Explanation:
Because it led to the establishment of Muslim rule in India.
Arab invasions of India had taken place before the Second Battle of Tarain, most notably by Mohammed bin Quasim and Mahmud Ghazni. However, these invading kings and generals were plunderers - they looted gold, diamonds and other treasures from India, that they carried back to their kingdoms. None of them were interested in building of holding kingdoms in India.
However, this changed with the invasion of Mohammed Ghori, who defeated Prithviraj Chauhan at the Second Battle of Tarain. Unlike his predecessors, Ghori decided to set up a kingdom and hold territory in India. When Ghori returned to his homeland, he left his slave Qutubdin Aibak in charge of his Indian territories. Aibak did not remain idle - he conquered more land for his master. After Ghori’s death, Aibak claimed his master’s Indian territories and declared himself Sultan (or king). He set up the Mamluk (or slave) dynasty in India, and was the first Sultan of the Delhi Sultanate - a sequence of five dynasties that ruled a large section of Indian land for over three hundred years, until the invasion of Babar and the beginning of Mughal rule.
Thus, the Second battle of Tarain resulted in the formation of the Delhi Sultanate, and marked the beginning of Muslim rule in India. The Arabs brought with them their culture, arts, music, architecture and food articles, as well as new and superior mechanisms of war. The Delhi Sultanate irrevocably altered Indian politics and culture, and created entirely new ways of life that were fusions of Indian and Arab culture.
Thus, the second battle of Tarain was a turning point in Indian history, much like the First Battle of Panipat (that established Mughal rule in India) and the Battle of Plassey (that established British colonial rule in India).

Prithviraj Chauhan organized a confideracy of Rajput chiefs to meet the challenge . Unfortunately, the most powerful Rajput ruler,Raja Jaichandra of Kanauj , refused to help him . The two armies clashed in the Second Battle of Tarain in 1192 CE . This time, Muhammad Ghori routed the Rajput army.
