Delhi sultanate had a significant impact on the Indian society & culture
Explanation:
- While the Indian sub-continent has had invaders from Central Asia because time immemorial, the distinction between Muslim invasions is that the successful Muslim conquistadors retained their Islamic identity & established new juridical & administrative systems which challenged, & usually, superseded, the existing system in several cases. It also implemented new cultural codes that varied considerably from existing cultural codes in some respects.
- At the beginning of the Delhi Sultanate in 1206, under the leadership of Qutb al-Din Aibak, India became a great Islamic state in Central Asia. The forms & types of large buildings required by Muslim elites, with mosques and graves the most commonly used, had a very different style and shape of building from the buildings traditionally constructed in India. Architecture advanced enormously during the Sultanate period. Indo-Islamic architecture developed during this time. This architecture style was not purely Islamic or strictly Hindu, but rather both styles inspired it. The synthesis of Indian and Islamic styles was assisted by several factors. First, Indian artisans and architects were required to be employed by Muslim rulers who introduced the Indian architectural style in Muslim buildings. Second, from the ruined Hindu temple, where in the Muslim rulers demolished the Hindu temples and constructed mosques, palaces, and graves.
- Turko-Afgan rulers were mostly military people, many of them were interested in "belles-letters" and high order literature was published during that time under their patronage. Authors, artists, academics, theologians, philosopher, lawyers & chroniclers have been in attendance at the Delhi Sultan Court. During the time the bright lights of the literary sky were Mir Hussan Dehlvi, Amir Khusrau, Quazi Abdul, Badruddin Thoneswari, & Amil-ul-Mulk etc.
- Islam gave the vernacular languages an immediate filling, which had evolved. In languages that the audience can readily understand, the religious reformers and saints had written and spoken. In this age there has been a rise in Hindi, Marathis, Bengali, Maithili, Punjabis, Gurumukhis and other regional literatures. In hindio, mirabai & a few other preachers & saints of Radha-Krishna 's worship in Brij-bhasa preached Ramananda, Kabir, Surda and Tulsidas.
- The development of Urdu through the mixing of the Persian, Arabic, and Turkish words & ideas with Sanskrit languages and concepts was a further significant achievement in literature. It has the words of Arabic , Persian, Turkish, West Hindi and the province of Delhi.
- The nobles were at the height of the social system during the Sultanate period. They mainly came from overseas. They were society's most esteemed and affluent class. They have been promoted to high offices and offered jagirs instead of their services. They were very aggressive to each other, as they belonged to various nationalities including the Persians, the Afghans, the Turks, the Arabs, the Abyssins, etc.
- The other part of the society was the Indian Muslims. They were either Hindus converts, or descendants of Muslims converted. Like other Muslims in society, they were deprived of "social & economic" rights. They did not take part in the administration's work either. This state of affairs continued until the end of the 13th century for the Indian Muslims. In the 14th century, Turks' migration from Central Asia in India stopped when the mindset of the Sultans became changed.
- The Hindus were vegetarians while the Muslims were non- vegetarians. The Hindus as well as the Muslims consumed alcohol & drugs. People also used garments made of silk, cotton & fur. Their favourite pastimes were various activities such as hunting; animal fights, horse-polo, respectively. The Hindus & Muslims came into contact & in many ways influenced one another. But the moral character of Hindus & Muslims had decreased at the time of the Sultanate period.
