Turkish invasions are discussed in detail below
The Turkish invasion marks the beginning of the medieval era in India. With the passing of Harshvardhana, India entered a period of feudalism. The political situation in north India was quite chaotic, and everyone was preoccupied with acquiring tiny kingdoms rather than paying attention to the aggressive Turkish invasion. Around the year 11th century, the Mahmud of Ghazni, a raider from Afghanistan, launched a Turkish invasion of India. He overcame the Hindushahi kings of Peshawar to win. The Muslim leaders of Multan were the next targets.
In a brief period of about 25 years, Mahmud of Ghazni plundering invaded India 17 times, robbing it of its wealth and resources. Mahmud pillaged ruthlessly the wealthy and opulent regions of Gujarat and Kannauj. He used this wealth to strengthen his control over northern India. With the money he stole, he built numerous palaces and mosques in the central Asian city of Ghazni. He repeatedly pillaged India until passing away in Ghazni in 1030 A.D.
During the 11th and 12th centuries, the Rajput monarchs fought one another for control of princely territories. They took advantage of every opportunity to start hostilities with one another. At this time, Prithviraj's ascension to power saw him marry the Jaichand of Kannauj's daughter by kidnapping her in the midst of their wedding. The Rajput ruler believed Mohammed Ghori only intended to plunder India and leave at this time. However, Ghori was preparing to invade. He consequently made the decision to support Mohammed Ghori and aid him in defeating Prithviraj.
However, when he learned that Mohammed Ghori sought to found an empire here, he reluctantly joined Prithviraj and other Rajput kings, and the two of them were able to overthrow Mohammed Ghori. But after hearing Ghori's plea, Prithviraj allowed him to leave. However, the Afghans attacked Prithviraj again the very next year, severely defeating him in battle. However, Ghori did not release Prithviraj, and Qutub-ud-din came into control of his kingdoms. India had real dynastic governance for the first time with the conquest of Mohammed Ghori.
A significant portion of North India came under Muslim dominion as a result of the Turk invasion. They made it possible for the Turko-Afghan Empire to be established in India. Although Mahmud of Ghazni was unable to create an empire in India, his expeditions allowed foreigners access to the country's northwestern region.
